It's a little hard to believe Houston is still a bubble team after losing to UCF. Is UCF's blowout loss to UConn going to haunt us all season?

Would LOVE the chance to take on Baylor in Tulsa.

UCF isn't considered a bad loss. We are around 70-80 RPI and it was an away game for Houston.

That would be sweet! Might as well be you guys cuz Tulsa sure ain't making it to Tulsa this year. Maybe next year! (I think the BOk hosts it in 2018 too?)

Either Louisville needs to lose some games or we need to win out, because I REALLY don't want to have to travel out to SLC or ******* Sacramento when there are tourney games in Indianapolis.

Good point. We will have to finish ahead of all 3 of Louisville, Xavier, and Purdue to get Indy.

Our brand equity is keeping us in the race.

Not necessarily. But it would be ideal. If Louisville or Purdue is a 3 or 4 and UC is the 6 or 5 and placed in the same region, then will still be playing in Indy. Throw Notre Dame into this as well.

Exactly. Lots of ways it could theoretically happen. Really hoping to do it by earning a 2 seed. Last time UC was in Indy it was because UK was the 2 seed in the region when UC was the 7.

Memphis will be hard pressed to make the NIT this year.
