I join all of you who say, "Hey, those were quality wins!" Let's add the fact that we're the number one seed in the AAC for the up and coming conference tourney. Upbeat, no doubt.
But yet, in today's RPI, the "C's are 49 and 50 while we're 58th. The gap is way wider in the Sagarin ratings, where they're in the 30's and we're 88th.
Seven of our 10 losses are to teams currently in the RPI top 50. They are Butler, St. Joseph's, Wisconsin, Tulsa along with current top 10 positioned Nova, UNC and Utah.
So, just why are we a projected 11th seed today, with 1 regular season game remaining vs. Tulane tomorrow, and hopefully with a win tomorrow, how deep do we need to go in the AAC to assure our being in?.
I believe that, with a win over Tulane and our making the finals of the AAC post season tourney, we're in. If we don't make the semi-finals, or do, but lose, thus ending up 21 - 11, hope so but think our RPI will undermine the opportunity.
Let's get er done!
