Thats because it has been updated since I posted

Just curious how Texas Tech's 6-9 against the Top 50 shouldn't get them in when we are 4-7 against the Top 100 and feel like we should be in? They have played more games against the Top 50 and have a better winning percentage than we have against the Top 100.

They have more opportunities against Top 50 teams due to being in the Big 12, so they should have to win more of those games to be considered. That's how you even out the disparity between teams like us who are stuck in a crap conference and have to schedule mean non-conf games like nobody's business, and teams like Texas Tech who are lucky enough to be in a conference like the Big 12. Plus they finished freaking 7th in their conference. Just being marginal in a great conference shouldn't be all that's needed to get in, but unfortunately that's what seems to be ok to the committee most of the time.

Also, if they somehow lose to TCU they're then 9-10 in their conference this year. A sub-.500 mark in your conference shouldn't get you in the field.

Lunardi updated "for Syracuse/Pitt". He still has Syracuse in after losing to Pitt. Has them in the 11 vs. 11 play in game, but says they won't stay there by the time the week is over. Still has us as an 8 in the East.

No way Cuse should be in the NCAA.

[ShockdaWorld]

No way Cuse should be in the NCAA.

Completely agree. Lunardi even said they are just sitting there for now, waiting to get knocked off the bubble.

I miss QT soooooooooooo much. We don't have them in Houston. The gas stations here are terrible. Buc ee's are really nice, but they aren't really convenient stores. Haha I genuinely get excited when my work takes me to a city that has a QT.

We are both 7-3 in our last 10 games. The difference is they played 6 of those games against Top 25-27 RPI teams (3 against the Top 10) and won 3 of them. 5 of our 7 wins came against teams with RPIs over 200 and 300. We lost every game we played against the Top 100 during that stretch.

We can make a case to be in the tournament over many teams but if it comes down to us or Texas Tech, I don't like our chances of dancing.

I'm sure they'll get in, but I don't agree with it and I don't think they deserve it.

Especially since they're trying to blow this game against TCU at the moment. If they lose this, they shouldn't even be considered. Especially with a 19-13 (9-10) record. That's just rewarding being marginal in a good conference. Just my opinion though. Lord knows nobody usually agrees with me about anything here.

[ShockerFever]

Man, that Texas Tech sure passed the eye test tonight... lol.

Can't even win ONE game in their postseason tournament and they lose to freaking #183 TCU 67-62.

Let me guess. It doesn't matter, right?

I agree with you

Lol We are relocating to Plano, TX April 1st and my wife was just ecstatic that we have a QT real close. It's the little things...

[KC Shox]

Tech gets in, they do have some really nice wins. They really got lucky in the non-con by scheduling South Dakota St., and UALR who played out of their minds this year. No way Tech thought they'd be this good when they scheduled them.

Scott van pelt thinks Monmouth and Valpo are better then Wichita state? I guess we just don't see what they, more or less, CBS sees
