Sunbelt Action (2/18/10)

Its a little scary to see WKU playing so well. Looking at the standings to win the league we need to win out, WKU to beat ASU and FAU to beat Middle the last game of the regular season. It looked like a long shot a couple of weeks ago, but now its a good possibility it could happen.

The odds are still against us winning the Division or the combined league regular season, but our odds just went up exponentially.

great news! go mean green!

[Green Lantern]

Good night for North Texas, and we didn't even play.

Winning conference would be great, but I'm really interested in getting a first round bye. Things are certainly looking promising on that front.

Suck on that one ASU.

In our 2007 Championship season, our RPI heading into the Dance was around 126 or so. If we won our next 7 games, our RPI would probably be a bit higher than that. Given our league mark would be 3 games better & what would be a winning streak of over ten games, I could see us getting a 14 seed. Perhaps even higher if we got some upsets to go our way.

All of this is purely hypothetical given we still have ALOT of games to reach that point.
