Regarding the stats about Cokley and Lee, someone has been reading my twitter feed.

When is Bob Stone signing with UAB?

Bottom line is no post season unless we win the tournament. (Assuming we don't go to one of those pay to play tournaments)

A stronger schedule MAY have helped with both RPI and KENPOM rankings and it MIGHT have caused us to win one of the 3 we dropped. Even though we might have lost an extra game before the conference started.

What it comes down to is do you schedule to prepare your team or to pad your record?

You schedule who you can schedule.

Someone ask coach on the call in show about the OOC schedule. ;-)

Probably just get coachspeak.

It doesn’t matter who you schedule if you can’t beat them. Richmond Buffalo Auburn and Iowa.

Buffalo and Auburn are not bad losses.

Buffalo may end up being an NCAA tourney team.

BTW FWIW Troy and New Orleans were both NCAA tournament teams last year. ;-)

Troy isn’t a bad game for many reasons. That game is definitely not an RPI killer at this point. You know which games i cry about Attalla.

Anytime we lose to Auburn it's a bad loss to me. I do, however, know what you mean.

Doesn't really matter what we do in the regular season unless we fudge ourselves out of a decent spot in the conference tournament thereby not giving us a better chance of winning the conference tournament.

You do however want to get better as the season progresses.

The Auburn game and the OOC games don't have as much impact on our progression as do the latter games in conference play.
