That canāt be right. I was told good teams win games like those. Michigan State must not be a good team. According to Coogfans.

Fair assessment. There are no great teams this season, and the really good one are few and far between.For those who say we arenāt a tournament team, I would like to see their list of the 40 teams that are definitely more worthy

Weāre probably in the tourney right now but probably not by that much. Our big win was Washington and they are now 1-3 to start Pac-12 play.
Itās going to be pretty critical to beat Memphis or Wichita State.

Need to beat them both. Have h/a gms w both teams. Need to min win the 2 home gms against them.

That would be ideal. Iām guessing if we win most of the rest of our conference games and go 1-3 against those two, weāre probably in (especially if the win is on the road). And ideally we get a shot at one or both in the conference tourney. Two wins against those two (and they otherwise donāt fall apart) and we should almost for sure be good (assuming we donāt drop many other games like this one).
I think our ability to put together a resume to make the tourney is more precarious than some folks on here realize though. Or at least looks that way at the moment. If South Carolina and Washington go on a tear from here on out that would of course change things.

Good thing Coogs pulled out that Temple game or it would be very concerning. SMU, @ Wichita St and UConn are the next three. Sure would be nice to get at a minimum the two home games. Coogs have to protect the home floor even against the top teams (and I am not including those two in the ātopā).

Agree with TJ. I think we see the team more in terms of what it can be. The committee will see us on who we were. Right now Iād project us an 11 or 12 seed, which could move 3-4 spots in either direction. If I were guessing, based on what Iāve seen so far, Iād guess weād start the first round around 7-8. But Iām a Kelvin late-season optimist. Iāve seen nothing this year that makes us a top 5 tourney team. But Iāve seen a lot that makes me think weāre a tourney team.

Absolutely. Protect our homecourt
Before Saturday we were better on the road (neutral site included) than home. Those visitor side rims have been killing us.
It was the trampoline guy on opening night! He hung on the visitor tunnel rim and they have never been the same!!! (the stats from that night donāt support this theory but I like the folklore)
