I think UAB will win, we NEEEEEED a Rice win. That would be massive for us in multiple ways.

1. Rice would get a Q1 win and boost their NET to help our awful loss to them look a bit better.

2. I don’t want to play UAB in the semifinal as a 2 seed, so them losing and MTSU to continue to win would be great

You might be right, but are you assuming that UAB wouldn't drop much in NET after losing? I wouldn't want our Q1 win over them to disappear.

I think UAB has enough leeway. As long as they're top 75, they stay Quad 1 for our away win. They're currently 66. On the flip side, Rice is 2 spots away from falling from a Quad 3 loss to a Quad 4 loss. That'll hurt us much more IMO.

Not a CUSA game but Utah State is tied at 33 against 8-18 Wyoming. A loss there probably knocks Utah State out of at-large consideration since they have 0 Quad 1 wins barring a run in the MWC conference tourney. Texas Tech is up 2 vs OU. A loss in Norman should knock them back down a bit. Miss State was a "Last 4" in by many but lost to Mizzou. At 9, SJSU takes on Nevada. A SJSU win would be huge for us. Big games tonight.

Wow, they did!  Seven FAU players score double digits.  Roadrunners got run off the floor!

Blazers threw Rice down a flight of stairs.

WKU takes it.  Guess it's time to update the brackets.

They really seemed hungry for the win over us.  Looks like they're carrying this level of "want" into the end of the season.

UAB and FAU destroying opponents so bad, you'll know each player's middle name, first celebrity crush, and favorite subject in grade school because the commentators are so bored with the actual game.
