could be our best hope for any kind of a tournament run!!! I've seen people post about how if we win all of our remaining games and somebody loses all of their remaining games we could possibley get to 6th place. I don't think anybody in the WAC this year has won 5 games in a row, maybe not even 4 games in a row and 3 of our remaining 5 are on the road. I would take all bets on us winning the next five games. So with that in mind, what place do we want to end up. Either 7th or 10th, otherwise we play Nevada at home in the next game. Even 7th place would be nearly a miracle, Hawaii has a 3 game lead on us. So that leaves the easiest way for us to have a chance in the Tourney is to come in last and play another WAC team on a neutral court in the Quarterfinals. I will not be rooting for Tulsa to lose five really close games at the end of the year but at the same time, I would not die a thousand deaths if they did, seeing how that might be our only hope for any kind of tourey run!! For those that think , losing our last 5 or 4 out of 5 might kill Pooh's chances at being the coach, can take heart that if we got to the finals in the tourney, it would clearly help his chances a great deal!! In reality, we will probably win 2 or 3 of our final games and lose to Nevada in in the Quarters and Pooh's job security will be tenuous anyway!!!
