All WAGs !
Iâd rather be a 10 or 11 than a 8 or 9. But I wonât complain as long as we get to the dance and show up in game one.
Fire Sampson!

The Cougars have gone 12-6 in the American now for two consecutive seasons without getting an NCAA bid out of that deal. This year ⊠could be yet another close call. Houston would likely be in the field if the season ended today, and home wins over Arkansas and Wichita State should stand Kelvin Sampsonâs team in good stead. That being said, a win at home over Cincinnati next week would spin the entire season on its axis for the Cougars.

Even better would be to start with Win at Home against SMU. Need to go 3-0 with next 3 gms at home. Playing at Memp, Temple will be very tough gms.

A voice of reason.
46. Houston Cougars
The Cougars are great on the offensive glass and play their tails off for Kelvin Sampson. But Houston does not get to the foul line enough â and it puts opponents on the stripe too much. Houston is good, but the margin for error is thin. The best wins are against Arkansas and Wichita State.
If anyone is interested Joe Lunardiâs latest bracketology projections just got released earlier today.

Cinci as a 2 seed, thatâs pretty good.
I see 3 teams from the AAC including UH in a play in game with USC. There are still games left to be played but we are one of the last teams in. All of the upsets in other conferences having an impact? We have some tough games ahead.
So many moving parts. The RPI Forecast has moved us into 33 (up several spots) while Lunardi is moving us down. We got a few weeks to clear this all up.
Lunardi is biased for the bigger leagues

Unfortunately, so is the tournament committee. I think the AAC gets at least three in though.

Those sites that rely on the metrics âthinkâ much more highly of UH
