3. Western Kentucky 16-2
4. Middle Tennessee 11-7
5. UL-Lafayette 11-7
6. North Texas 10-8
7. Florida Atlantic 8-10
8. New Orleans 8-10

There are some GREAT match-ups coming up for us between other teams - especially in the West bracket…all we need to do is our part…if we win 3-5 remaining games, we sit STINKIN PRETTY, as 9-9 in the SBC will give  us a home game for sure.

2-3, or ending up 8-10 will be tough…and  1-4, and 7-11 aint gonna cut it…

Firmly believe we can get three…although woudn't rule out the "way they come"…might be very interesting on March 1st…

I know you guys have explained this before so please be patient with me.

Is this correct…

Top finisher has a bye in round one and teams 2 through 4 host the first round with the match ups as;
9 @ 2
8 @ 3
7 @ 4
6 @ 5

Then we go to the tourney.

So we need to move up to 4th or 5th to host the first round.  Which I think we can playing the way they are right now.

Is this even close?

doubt we will play them…8 hosts 9, and they are flat out not doing well right now…3-10 in SBC…so they would be like second to last if that continues…

but, we need to spank thier behinds in Boca…w elost to them this year down there - time for pay-back!

We are a much different team now then we were then. I don't see us losing to them, especially with a packed house (crossing my fingers). I'm calling it now.. Sammy WILL make a 3 pointer lol. He came close last game by hitting the back of the rim

if it is close i hope sammy doesnt attempt a 3

Oh fear not lol Sammy will attempt a 3. You think he knows what's going on out there? He'll shoot a 3 and if he misses Rex will pull him right away. Hopefully it's a big enough lead that it wont matter
