What if I told you...

Post by East Coast Mustang »

...after the UConn win in Storrs that three [EDIT: four!] Texas teams would make the NCAA Tournament and SMU wouldn't be one of them?

I'd be willing to bet it's the first time ever a team ranked #18 with two weeks remaining in the season and only two regular season games both against top 20 teams failed to make the tourney. That's crazy when you really think about it.

Easy to say, but really good teams have bad losses. Syracuse lost at home to a horrible BC team, for instance. It happens.

With the team we have, we would have leveled C-USA and be where Tulsa is standing right now.

It is kind of odd to think that we likely would have made the tournament if we were still in C-USA. Can't screw us out of an automatic bid.

Side notes:
1) Obviously, I prefer the AAC to C-USA. (Duh.)
2) I'm glad Tulsa won the C-USA tournament. Good to have a team joining the AAC next year make the tournament.

True, but it could be worse. We could actually be in C-USA next year.

Yeah I thought this exact same thing when I was watching Tulsa and La Tech. No way either team could handle us.
