If we win out reg season we are in?

[Ross Hodgeson]

This guy just posted that he thinks if we win out we will be guaranteed a spot in the NCAA.  He says if we have one loss we won't.   Is he talking that we just have to win out the rest of the regular season games to be assured a NCAA bid?

I mean if we win out till the conference final and lose to Memphis in a close game, we would definitely be looked at - but the lack of quality wins would hurt us a lot.  I think it'd be 50/50.

No way we'd be 50/50. If we win out and get to the conf finals and lose we will enter selection process at 28-5 reg season conf champs and will certainly be NET t25. 0% chance we are left out.

I wouldn't say 0% chance, but yeah, in that scenario (UNT loses to Memphis in AAC Final) there would be too much going for us at that time, especially if McNeese (1st in Southland/#66Kenpom), UTSt (2nd in MWC/#43Kenpom) also make deep runs in their tournaments &/or win them.   It would really help if High Point wins the Big South regular season &/or tournament (currently 2nd).

Maybe more like a 10% chance we get left out, but if so, I guarantee we'd be in the "1st 4 out".

Don't forget Minnesota and Oregon State in that list of teams we need to make a run. Minnesota has had a couple close losses but they're getting healthy and getting into a rhythm. They've got back-to-back Quad 1 wins and jumped up 30+ points in NET to being 104. Going off previous years, Quad 1 loses rarely drop your NET ranking but the wins carry pretty good weight. If they can get in the top 75, they become a Quad 1 for us. As for Oregon State, they beat Gonzaga and have a few more big games coming up. Those two wins are looking better as the season progresses.
