I thought Torvik kinda liked us going into the season? Not sure what 5-6 wins and a tough close loss to a clearly top 5 caliber team have done to push us out of the tourney but whatever.

We are beating absolutely terrible teams and not being very good on offense.
We need to start beating some good teams.

We need to win one of the FAU or Tennessee games for a high quality win for the NCAA tourney seeding and to start locking in a bid.

I thought the fact we were left out of the top 25 means the rankings are trash.

Marquette was on the schedule. No rule says the Illini can’t win that one.

We were favored in that game. We were home. That one got away and was there for the taking except a few guys really took a dump.
Our lack of half court execution killed us and is why we have the 65th ranked offense in country right now.
Last night the announcers stated UW wanted better halfcourt offense. Once we get into the conference it will be
the key.

Last year we rode the UCLA and Texas wins through the BT tractor pull season to secure a bid.
We need an out of conference win vs ranked team. FAU is the media darling this year and probably over ranked so
we need that one. Will look good.

FAU put up 90 something on #12 TAM. It's early and rankings are a guess, but we'll have to hold FAU to 2/3rds of that.

FAU is likely going to push our shit in

Tennessee is the one we have a good shot at winning

We should win that one. FAU lost to Bryant.
They are experienced good team but give up a buttload of points which is hopefully good for us.
I think our defense could prevail in this one.

On the other hand, not sure how much our defense has really been tested. We are ranked #9 and Marquette is #17.  :o
That makes no sense except we have played such terrible teams so are racking up the D stats.

I would go the other way, but who knows.
A win at Tenn on the road would be a signature one for the resume and confidence.

Would be a good time for CH, Guerrier, and Domask to start hitting threes at their normal modest clip. They are 8-50.
Should be double that.
Maybe we will have a lights out games vs FAU and Tenn.

I don’t know much about either team but figured the Tennessee game would be an ugly slugfest and we are at their place. Ugh
