Gottlieb thinks the NCAAs are still possible with the right wins.

Guess what incredibly good looking poster will be sitting next to Pete if he goes?

And the league has lots of good teams, so lots of good wins are available.

In theory if they are really figuring things out, you should be able to beat most teams in this league if you can win in Norman.

Yeah I agree, but its still very hard to believe we are getting there. Tonight is the ceiling as far as how this team is able to play and we've had a lot more clunkers than we've had games like tonight.

We sat Marcus for like 20 minutes, it wasn't our ceiling. But I mean it was a road win against a top 3(?) team in the league

Yrah, we sat Foster, but hurt played forever and was our high scorer, or close to it. I mean, one pretty much cancels the other.

I don't know if it is about figuring things out, they've been all over the place this year, the 4 game stretch of Long Beach and Maui is indicative of that. That's why I am not at all enthusiastic about following this up because they've been like this all year, it just hasn't been a bad stretch.

The only way for this team to make the tournament is for guys like Hurt to step up like this. I mean, we need Marcus to play 35 or more minutes most nights and be really good, but the games we got from guys like Hurt, Edwards, and Thomas are going to be necessary most nights as well.

CNS · « **Reply #14 on:** January 10, 2015, 08:54:54 PM »

I do t know, FAN. I mean we scored like 60 pts tonight.

This came up in another thread after the O-State loss. How many wins is realistic to make this happen? I say 18-13, 11-7 in confy would give us a fighting chance.

LBSU and Texas Southern are bad. Georgia, Tenn, and Pitt are Power 5 bad. Really only O-State/UA would count as "good" losses in my mind.

Probably need 20 wins (including tourney), as a general rule

He made it sound like we could with 9-9 or 10-8. We'd have to have a couple of quality road wins. Historically, the committee will give teams that have shown an ability to beat good teams away from home the benefit of the doubt.

I wouldn't think that I would need to point out that it never was an official metric that the committee used, but with you one can never know.

I officially am aware that teams with less than 20 wins get at large bids, like 1 or 2 a year. I officially think we'd be in a much safer place at 20. I'm officially not commenting at all on whatever sassy bullshit you're whining about, and unofficially think you are a moron that likes to argue with yourself.
