Post-season prediction

[Maizerunner08]

Still lots of ball left...but what’s your current barometer on the Shockers post-season destination?

[FadedCrown]

We're lining ourselves up to beat KU in the 2nd round.

Moved this from the Cincy thread

Looking at what we have left:
Currently 17-5

Not Going to Win
At Houston (Q1)
At Cincy (Q1)

Toss-Up
At SMU (Q1)
At Memphis (Q1)
Temple (Q3)

Should be able to win
Tulane (Q4)
USF (Q3)
Tulsa (Q3)
At UCF (Q2)

So basically we need to win all the shoulds, and 2 of the Toss-Ups in my opinion. If we can pull off a "not going to win" we should be on the right side as long as we don't blow up the rest but I'm not counting on that.

Winning 2 of the Toss ups (lets say at SMU and vs Temple) our Quadrants would be:
Q1: 2-4
Q2: 7-4
Q3: 6-0
Q4: 8-0

So a positive Q1/Q2 record with a couple Q1 wins and no bad losses. Probably gets us in if we can win 1 in the AAC Tourney

With a little help from:
OSU (NET 78) winning a couple to get Top 75
VCU (NET 36) winning a couple to get Top 30
Tulsa (NET 77) getting to Top 75
Houston (NET 32) Getting to Top 30

Our Quandrant could look "as good as":
Q1: 4-6
Q2: 6-2
Q3: 5-0
Q4: 8-0

That's Definitely in IMO.

Must win 2/4 between SMU, Houston, Cinci, and Memphis and not drop any others to make the tournament.

[Maizerunner08]

Interesting. As of now, SN is split down the middle on who thinks NCAA and NIT.

Also, love the positivity of the vote for NCAA 3-4 Seed. Give me what you’re having.

This is exactly where I'm at. We definitely can't afford bad losses, though this team has been solid in those games, and we need to find 2 games out of the 'not going to win' and 'tossup' categories.

Unfortunately, this was the easy portion of our conference schedule where we somehow had most of the good teams at home. Now we have to man up on the road.

The bubble is soft this year, but we still need something extra to push us over the hump. It would help if some teams can push themselves up to Q1, and winning at Houston later this week (as hard as that looks to be) would give us a lot of breathing room.

Had we managed 6 more points over the last two games, we have all but locked it up by now.

Going 7-2 the rest of the way with 2 Q1 wins puts us solidly in ... we probably have an extra game or two loss past that cushion IMO. Though that extra loss or two means we can't bomb out of the AAC tourney first round either either.

[pinstripers]

We still have a chance to get in. It's kinda up to us.

Yup, and it's not even really a stretch to get in. They just have to execute for a majority of the games. They have struggled with that, but they have shown they are capable. Can they get out of their own way to do it (that whole lack of experience thing)

Where are you getting 2 Q1 wins from? At SMU (for now) and who else?

I'm not banking on a resume where our best win (Q1 or not) is a win over SMU. And that's it.

You looked at the best case scenario approach (which of course won't happen), but what about the alternative view?

I'm not sure what planet you're on if you think this team is capable of going 7-2 down the stretch with this schedule. And "should be able to win" at UCF? lol, we barely beat them at home. There isn't any "should" wins with any road game with this team. All they have proven is they can beat the 2nd worst team in the league on the road and only scoring 56 points in doing so.

So after looking at the box score

I have to say that our Percent is up. That is good considering that its been a while we have shot like this. So we are getting better. And hopefully we can start winning games with our percentage like this. IF we keep it up we will not be winning UGLY.
