Yeah...Denver.

Yes, those would be my picks as well. I doubt they all go our way. If we can just get 2, I'd rather it be UNO and UALR. Of course, those are probably the longest shots on the board.

I agree that it's the longest of long shots... But if UNO can knock off ASU, that could be the start of the death spiral. Starting 8-2 in conference, then dropping two in a row against the bottom two teams in the conference (UALR and UNO)... Could be a death blow to the confidence of such a young team.

We could still win the West. I haven't looked it up yet , but it looks like we might have the most favorable schedule down the stretch. ASU still has 2 games vs wKu & will also have to go to ULL.

If we don't win the West , we still have a good shot at the bye seeing that we would own the tie breaker vs FAU.

ULL still has to go on the road to FAU,USA,UNT & DEN.

DEN also has 4 out of their last 6 on the road.

We've said it all year , but 02/25 vs ULL just might be the BIGGEST game of the year. (O $hit , that's my wedding anniversary!!)

Looking at that WKU/Troy score, one can't help but wonder if the Hilltoppers are back. If they knock off Houston on Tuesday we might have our answer.

I watched almost that whole game. It was a combo of wKu playing much better and troy playing very poor. wKu is still a dangerous team come tourney time .Until they are knocked out I would still have to consider them as the team to beat.
