I mean, we’ve beat the top 3 teams in the East. UNT is undefeated against the East. La Tech is 4-1 against the East. But whatever helps your narrative I guess.

We counter that by half-ass effort, lack of consistency, looking down on opponents, and poor play anytime we play on the road or in games that aren't spaced a week out from each other. We'll be lucky to get in the NIT now.

Sometimes the other team had a lot to do with the defeat as well. ODU played as well as they have all season, but for probably the first time all year they did it for both halves.

I take nothing away from ODU. You guys looked really good today - how the hell have you only won 10 games?

Usually we fit in a 5-10 minute scoring drought at some point in the second half.

UAB took an 11 spot tumble for the loss in the NET.

We are, sadly, a very bad loss from a metrics standpoint. Apologies to all.

UTEP dropped 18 spots in the NET after losing at home to Marshall. I thought it woul be more.

Yet still beat Middle.

Hats off to ODU. Those two bigs are legit. I don't know how in the hell y'all have that bad a record.

Wish we had UAB at home this year.

Payback would be in order.

Does UAB lose its bubble status now? I remember talks of it a week or two ago

I thought everyone played each other at least once in basketball? It appears that UTEP was the only team not on WKU’S schedule this year

Lunardi had them as the 3rd team listed in the "first 4 out" category on the 11th before the loss, so I'd say that bubble is firmly popped. Maybe UNT has a shot now if they win out and lose in the CCG, but I don't think they will have enough Q1 wins or a high enough NET. They only have @UAB left as a remaining possible Q1 win which would give them 2.

ESPN still has us on Bubble Watch, even after the loss, though I don’t really buy it, unless A LOT of other bubble teams start losing.

FIU and NT aren't playing either
