Yes. We have zero at large chance. The good news is if we win the regular season we are guaranteed an nit bid.

Speaking of the NIT. I just saw where the NCAA is going to expirament with a 30 second shot clock in that tournament this season.

Good thing Mike Davis is gone.

Furthermore, with the level of play I've seen over the past few weeks, I think we should go undefeated the rest of the way. However, realistically speaking, I know we are bound to get tripped up once or twice along the way. We just need Western and La Tech to start tripping up a few times more than us. UTEP needs to chill out also.

Would love to see the team in an away game with a hostile environment at this point of the season to see how they would respond. I have them playing for a NIT bid right now which wouldn't disappoint me right now as we may have one kid with any kind of postseason experience.

We saw it at UTEP. Didn't end well.

We put up 9 points in the last minute? Would have been 12 if the last shot had 2 more inches on it?

that's some pretty tenacious playing right there.

Still didn't end well.

Not to derail but a game like that gonzaga/memphis atmosphere.
