I think we're really beating a dead horse at this point with continuing this same tortured conversation, but sure, it's nice to see that someone out there thinks North Texas "might end up getting in after going on a splashy run in the conference tournament." I mean, yeah, it's possible, and we're more likely to do it than several other teams in the AAC, but we're also still less likely to do so than the top teams in the conference. And, yes, I know (and agree with you) that injuries is in large part the reason that we've dropped a few games recently (and thus correspondingly dropped in the standings). I still wouldn't say that the team we currently see (factoring in the missing players due to injury) has looked like a contender. Now, if we find a way to adapt in ways we haven't yet seen or get some guys back sooner than expected, then we absolutely could become contenders once again. Believe me, I REALLY hope that happens! I'll be there for the Memphis game, so maybe that will be the first step toward getting some mojo back with or without our injured starters...
