Bubble Watch

[TEvans4Three]

You think Dayton is a lock now? VCU is currently kicking their ass, so I don’t see how them winning last night impacts OU.

Lenardi currently has us at first team out. He is never 100% accurate, so I’m hoping we slip in. Miami of Ohio losing is what irritates me the most. They’ve had a nice season, but they don’t play ANYONE! Lay their numbers next to OU’s, w/o the name of the schools listed…and tell me who most would pick. They would finish in the bottom of the SEC…but they’ll get a pass I’m sure.

Yes. (Not Dayton, but that secured one bubble spot away from OU)

Saint Louis wins, there was a chance they beat VCU and we could get in over VCU.

Now, there is a guarantee either Dayton or VCU steal a Bubble spot.

I think he meant the win by Dayton over Saint Louis. Had Saint Louis won the A-10 tournament, there's a chance they would have been a one-bid league and VCU would be left out. Now, the A-10 will have two bids.

Yes, Miami (Ohio) would finish in the bottom quarter of the SEC. I'd have no issue with them getting in the tournament, as 31 wins is 31 wins. But they'll be one and done and we'd beat them 8 out of 10 times.

If we are out again, I'll be sending an email to the new AD saying I won't be attending any bball games again next year due to Moser being back after missing the tournament in 5 of 6 years. Just unacceptable

I’ll join you

And they could both steal a spot if Dayton comes back to win today. VCU could get an at-large bid.

Gotcha. I guess I was assuming VCU would get in anyways. I don't see Dayton getting in personally...unless they win today obviously.

Genuinely can’t believe we’re just gonna run it back after this failure of a year.

We know that’s how you feel.

I’m sure they’ll take your strongly worded email very seriously.

 

[WTSooner]

Not to beat a dead horse, but again, you have to wonder what playing a slightly different OOC schedule might have accomplished. Especially if we end up being the first team out.

Going to be relatively easy to put Miami Ohio in over us, despite a bad OOC schedule, because they can look at our OOC schedule, and while tougher, still have some pretty laughable opponents.

It’s crazy to me that the new AD saying we’re upping our investment in the program for the first time, essentially, in history, has been so poorly received all because Moser is coming back for one more season.

They literally said and did increase it last season. Remember our #11 Portal class? #6 if you use average recruit rating? Remember our fans saying we now had the talent to compete?

First time in history? LOL. No sir.

Got us all the way up to No. 14 in the conference! We finished 11th, so Moser is technically overachieving.

Also, they actually have to increase it sizeable enough to make a difference, and it's likely none of us will truly ever know if they did. Why? BECAUSE NONE OF THAT INFORMATION IS PUBLIC.

It’ll be easy to tell, though. If we sign an actual big man, not an Alabama castoff or a walk on from Wofford, we’re actually spending money.

And basically every national CBB industry reporter, coaches in the conference, etc.

Good, I’m glad. I hope others use their voices to point out the mediocrity that Roger Denny is A-OK with

Imagine this team if Mo was coming off the bench instead of being relied on as a key piece.

What would your plan be, aside from firing Moser?

 

[mict085]

Yea and I can imagine if we had a better coach, we’d be solidly in the tourney. Increasing NIL and a better coach, just imagine.

True, and the new AD who came from a perennial top 10/top 15 basketball program said it still isn't enough.
