Does this team have a solid shit making the tourney?

They’d probably have to win their games against UCF and USF while also making it to the Ginals of the conference tourney.

Unfortunately, they don’t really have any strong wins.

Afraid their lackadaisical play caught up to them today in a bad loss at Tulsa. Unless this team really turns on the burners and actually beats a team with a heartbeat they will not be dancing…

I think they’d have to win the conference tourney to make the NCAA tourney and I don’t think they’ll beat UCONN. Hope now is to make the NIT.
