If by some miracle....
We win the last 4:
02/26/15 vs SMU * TV FedExForum 8:00 p.m. CT
02/28/15 vs Tulsa * TV FedExForum 7:00 p.m. CT
03/05/15 at Connecticut * TV Storrs, Conn. 8:00 p.m. CT
03/08/15 at Cincinnati * TV Cincinnati, Ohio 11:00 a.m. CT

Are we in with one win in the AAC Tourney? If not, how many?

Just my opinion, but I think we'd still need to make it to the AAC championship game...even then it would be a waiting game on Selection Sunday.

Agreed. It's still win the tourney or bust in my mind.

RE: If by some miracle....
Copied from another thread:
http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-...etball-rpi

18. SMU
31. Temple
39. Tulsa
49. Cincinnati
80. Memphis
82. UConn

Sure sets up nice for CJP. All the top RPI games are at the end of the year grouped together. He's had a season to gell a lot of new rotational players. We should see the best this team can be over the next 3 weeks

I think if we win the next 4, 1 win puts us in bubble talk. 2 wins and we are on the last 4 in. 3 wins, and we are solid, obviously. Someone can figure out RPI with winning the next 4, but I'd guess we'd be somewhere around 40-50ish

Agree...title game with 4 game season ending winning streak. Anything else no.

Getting to the tourney this year would be the worst thing possible for our future

Call me when they quit blowing 16 point leads to bad teams and then we can talk about beating the NEXT decent team on our schedule.

Yep, and UCF is a 200+ RPI team.

I think if by some miracle Memphis was to win out the rest of the regular season, the Tigers would have to make it to the championship game of the conference tourney and have a good showing there just to get on the bubble.

RE: If by some miracle....
4 straight wins puts us at 21-10....with a couple of 'good wins' and some really bad losses. Win 3 at the AAC tourney (and lose in the championship game) puts us at 24-11 and we would probably be on the bubble, and - my gut says - we would be in simply because that would put us at 9-1 in the last 10 games with some good 'road work' on our resume (again assuming we go 4-0).

24-11 and I think we are in. 23-12.....no.

Just one small glitch in your scenario. If we finish with a 21-10 record, we'd probably be the 2 or 3 seed in the AAC tournament. That means it would only take 2 wins to reach the championship game. Three wins would mean we were AAC tournament champs...and guaranteed a spot in the NCAA tourney.

I think we have a chance at winning these last games. Luck is involved, but I think we have a chance. Still think we have to win the tournament.

SMU would be very daunting. @Cincy and UCONN will be tough too. 2-2 is realistic

Bingo. If we would have taken care of business against Tulane, East Carolina, and Temple at home then we could talk about this.
