Going forward, SMU has to finish no worse than 2-2 against Cincinnati, WSU, and Houston the rest of the way with one other loss or go 1-3 against that and lose to no one else the rest of the season to feel good about their NCAA chances. Both Combinations give SMU a top 50 RPI going into the conference tournament. Anything less that puts the Mustangs in real danger.

I cannot speak for UConn, but yes, we need losses to make replacing our coach easier. Temple is not, repeat, not going to play in any postseason tournaments, other than the American.

What about the CBI or CIT ? A few teams pay the fee to be granted an entry to those two just to get some extra playing time.

I don't agree with that line of thinking. It is like when UCLA won the NIT back in the 80's and refused to put up a banner celebrating it b/c it was beneath them.

The NIT is fine. The CBI/CIT are not (unless you're a low major program).

M'f'n right. Most schools in this conference would have to be incredibly down to even contemplate that. ECU and USF excepted, I think Tulane would take it this year for the extra time and to continue the progression. UCF could do it, but strictly because of the injuries they had. That tournament would really help develop the team to boost Taylor, Amaker, and Fall next year. Hopefully it would let BJ really get in the groove for next year. I wouldn't expect either Tulane or UCF to look at them next year or even the near future.

UConn, Memphis, Cincinnati, Temple have way too much tradition to consider that.

WSU, Houston, Tulsa, SMU are programs that need special circumstances to think about it, but pass anyway.

This conference is on the edge of something great, we need all the programs to get back to historical levels and ECU and USF to just not be God awful and we have a top 4 conference.

UC played in the CBI during the program rebuild, but refused to host a game. Instead went to Bradley and lost.

When UCF played in the CBI back in 2011, we were very glad to be in that so I suppose, that yes, it is all relative. That said, the CBI and CIT aren't anything to be ashamed of, IMO.

It'd put UCONN in 4th place for now. Top 4 get a first round bye in the conference tourney.

That's true. I just don't think it's an advantage. If you are #4, you get a bye. Meanwhile #5 plays #12, and #6 plays #11. Those 2 are ECU and USF, so those should be wins for any 4 or 5 team.

Next round, 4 plays 5, so no advantage over #5. Win that, and you get to play #1. Big disadvantage.

Meanwhile, if you are #6, you play #10 first (still should be a win), then #3. Harder game than playing #4, but at least not #1. And then you get #2. Same deal.

So I don't see a huge advantage at being #4 vs. #5 or #6. In fact, those are likely NIT Bubble teams, so getting the extra first round win is a plus.

The difference between 4&5 is this:

If you make the semis and or the finals you’ve played one less game on consecutive days as a 4. If you have a short bench it really matters.

At this level I think the CBI/CIT is something you play in to get some more experience and confidence if you've got a really young team.

RE: 1/28 AAC Basketball Games
What is with the lighting at Moody ? Is the crowd "light" or are the lights turned down low ?

It is like the front section looks full but the rest of the gym is empty. I don't like those gyms where the light is turned down outside of the court. One thing I like about CFE Arena (UCF). Well lit everywhere and great sightlines.

Remember Scott Skiles ?

He palmed the ball every time he dribbled it up the court and never got called for it.

Damn. SMU is shooting lights out. They are pretty much playing with ECU at this point and if they lose - they will have LET the Pirates back into it.

EDIT: Since when did Mike O'Donnell become a network game analyst ? Good for him.

SMU is good at those set shots. Only way to stop them is to interrupt their catch and shoot offense.
