13-4 overall, 4-1 in AAC, have fewest losses in AAC against top-100 teams (Cincy is 7-2, we're 5-1).
Biggest home games left: SMU Jan 25, Memphis Feb 4, UConn Feb 11 (revenge), and Cincy Feb 26.
Now 76th in Sagarin, 78th in RPI, but meat of schedule in last 13 games will help SOS.
Looking forward (of course, if win conference tourney, get automatic berth in NCAA tourney):
7-6 rest of the way, 0-1 in conference tourney: get us to 20-11
7-6 rest of the way, 1-1 in conference tourney: get us to 21-11
8-5 rest of the way, 0-1 in conference tourney: get us to 21-10
8-5 rest of the way, 1-1 in conference tourney: get us to 22-10
9-4 rest of the way, 1-1 in conference tourney: get us to 23-9
9-4 rest of the way, 2-1 in conference tourney: get us to 24-9
10-3 rest of the way, 1-1 in conference tourney: get us to 24-8
10-3 rest of the way, 2-1 in conference tourney: get us to 25-8
Last year, AAC sent 4 teams to the Big Dance, but might only get 3? Right now, tied for 2nd in conference, tied for 3rd best overall, 5 top 100 wins ("quality" wins), but at present would be on the bubble and quite likely miss but make the NIT.
