I think 1st place in the regular season is out of the question now so I think we need USF to beat SMu to help us get a top 4 double bye seed!
They are currently up 38-29 in the second half! SMU has a tiebreaker over us too
USF helped us, beat SMU 79-68
USF seems like such " fools gold" to me . They gave up 22 offensive rebounds today. They are extremely weak on the interior and an average defensive team. They just really score the ball at a high clip from each position and shoot the 3 well but thats the name of the game. Their record speaks for itself but I am still not buying and would not bet on them.
Memphis also did us a favor today, beats FAU 78-74
Kindaā¦im mainly looking for a top 4 finish now thouugh, so we likely need to finish ahead of atleast 2 of the following 3 teams, assuming USF and FAU finish ahead of us ( SMU, UAB and Memphis) so i was pulling for FAU today.
Why would you assume FAU will finish ahead of us? We are ahead of them now by the tiebreaker.
I think we are the only team with a mathematical chance to catch USF, but one more win by them will sew up the regular season.
Memphis winning over FAU helps us with finishing in the top 4!
Looking at remaining schedules, expected results and how we are currently playing.
For the moment, FAU losing appears to help usā¦but Memphis winning does notā¦remember, both UM and SMU have the tiebreaker over us. UAB does not.
It would be nice if Tulane could upset UAB!
Memphis is 2 games back of us so Iām not too worried about them. SMU is the team to worry about being 1 game back and having the tiebreaker as well over us. FAU will beat Memphis the last game of the season at home
Look at Memphisā schedule vs ours and consider how each is currently playing. That lead is really just 1 game when you consider the tiebreaker.
We lose to USF to go to 5 losses and beat rice and ECU and they lose to FAU to get to 7 losses. Even if we lose 2 out of 3 and they lose to FAU then we finish above them
How is it 1 game? 11-4 and 9-6
I get itā¦im not counting on beating ECU. THAT will not be an easy one. I agree, we SHOULD finish ahead of UM, but its not a guarantee.
Because if they āgain 2ā on us theyre ahead of us.
Nothing is a guarantee.
Iām just saying Iām more worried of SMu overtaking us than Memphis. If we lose 2 out of 3 and FAU beats Memphis we are still ahead of them but if we lose 2 out of 3 then SMU is liking to def jump us
Itās conference basketball Assume nothing.
Yes, SMU is more likely to pass us than UM.thats why i said we need to finish ahead of atleast 2 of the 3 teams directly behind usā¦but that can happen and we still finish top 4. Im just talking about how best to not fall out of 4th.
