I like our chances. No guarantees, but our ceiling is still way ahead of us. I don't think it's out of the question - as long as this team continues to push and progress - that we go into LR and pull out revenge win. We also still have both rounds with Denver to go.

Of course, I say all that not knowing the full dynamics of the opposition. If UALR and Denver have some players go down/come back that change the matchup, I don't know about it.

EDIT: how bad could that ASU shot come back to haunt us?

You never know how a loss will rate later. That UALR game doesn't seem nearly so awful anymore for instance.

2 losses in conference. Both of them came with us shooting the ball with less than 5 seconds left. Once to tie, once to win in a tied game.

Neither drops, and one of those had a miracle shot bank in on the other end after a freakish carom off the basket and a quick reflexes pass.

I'm still bummed about our record and inconsistency... But hopefully we can keep up our SBC play and keep building on what's going well.

8-3 in our last 11.

UALR has really gotten out of the gate well in conference. I'm guilty of underestimating them.
