Out - Rice & Charlotte

I’ll be honest, i can’t see anyone hanging with Middle.  They will win it all but you hope the higher seed teams can hang so we get some additional spots in Big Dance and NIT.

we need to win 2 games in the tournament.  I have always had a threshold of winning 20 games per season, minimum.  I'll take tournaments wins right now to count towards that.  The UAB game was big.  if we can spilt MT and WKU, it is possible.  20 wins to me, is a good season.....

I watched many upsets on a neutral court in Hot Springs...anything can happen.

Hopefully Frisco won't be a real neutral site for NT.

I'd like to be on the opposite side from MTSU if at all possible (not that I wanna face WKU either with our checkered history against the Hilltoppers).  Better to be a 6 seed than a 4 or 5.  Obviously if we can climb up to a 2 or 3, that'd work even better.

I’m with you. WKU is good, as always, but this isn’t the best version of their team we’ve seen. They’re much more vulnerable in a neutral site tournament. MTSU looks scary good.

The casual fan might not know about the quality of ball in Murfo.  They've gone into the last two NCAA tourneys as 12 and 15 seeds, and won the first round.
