The other side to this is.....we just need to keep winning.

If we go 10-8 enough of these teams will lose in the next 3 weeks put us in. So as much as they all count, they mean nothing if we don't win 4 of the next 5.

IF we win 4 of 5 they mean nothing cause we are IN.

Hope your right, but I'm more skeptical. I'll continue to wait for the automatic bids to start going to the conference champions/conference tournament winners to get a better idea of how good we look. A few under the radar teams pulling out some monumental upsets can do quite a bit to ruffle the waters and burst some bubbles.
 


None of these bubble teams are playing an opponent this weekend that would classify as a monumental upset except Arkansas @ Florida.

S. Miss and St. Marys could get quality wins, but nothing earth shattering...
 








tx for leting me know what to watch for. Still within the Hawk's hands... need to win at Nebby... win against Purdue...

I think SLU is are pretty solid now. First place in the A10, 21 wins, 4 RPI top 50 wins.

I was thinking the same thing after I saw their score last night. Undefeated in conference. Have to hope SLU or Butler wins the conference tourney now.
 


Not undefeated in conference, they lost to Temple and Rhode Island. They did sweep Butler though.

I think you can add VCU to that list of teams we want to win the A10. I think 4 teams in the dance. La Salle, Temple and Charlotte are probably playing for the 4th bid if VCU, SLU or Butler win the conference tournament.

I think Temple currently has the best record of the 3 vying for the 4th bid. LaSalle and Charlotte have work to do. I think this is why I am leaning toward Temple on Sunday. This could eliminate Charlotte from an At Large.
