good work joey

I always enjoy the hoops blogs. Thanks Joey.

Do you think South Florida is a lock for the NIT (based on their current record and similar projection) or do they need to do more?

Yes. Considering the weakness of the bubble, I wouldn't count them out of the BD either. There's a path to 11-7 in the Big East, and if they could pair that with at least one win at the Garden, they'd have a decent case.

I'd rather they got in the NIT and were able to make a bit of a run to gain some tournament experience, than to make the BD and end up a one and done.

No CU or CSU? I was thinking both look like they will be in.

Colorado isn't getting an at-large. Best nonconference win came by two points over RPI No. 114 Georgia and they've yet to beat a top 50 opponent. If they beat both Cal and Oregon, then maybe things change a little, but for now, they're easily an NIT team.

As I wrote about Colorado State:

Speaking of the Rams, they got that win they had to have, but I don't think they've locked up a bid just yet. They're 2-4 vs. the RPI top 50 and 6-6 vs. the top 100, but don't have real quality in the nonconference, have three losses outside the top 100 and are still just 6-5 in league. They likely need to win one of the next two (at San Diego State on Saturday, vs. UNLV 2/29) to feel comfortable heading into the MWC tourney.

Sorry, I skimmed right past the CSU bit. Hoping to see both make it in, always makes things fun around here when people have someone to root for.
Nice work on this, very enjoyable to read.

Great research! Very informative.

I support Coach Grant but hope Tony Mitchell and Jamychal Green are truly done and not allowed back. They are both real dumb yet talented. You can't fix stupid so let them begin their lives of crime like respectable wannabe thugs.

Green is probably playing tonight I hear. Mitchell is gone for the season.

I don't see the point in bringing Green back. Sure he'll help if his head's on straight but he's a senior that has had nothing but attitude problems since he's been on campus. Time for him to go.

They're on the bubble, Grant is likely under pressure to make the Tournament and Green has been their most important player this season. I don't know enough about the circumstances to say for sure, but my guess is it's not entirely Grant's decision.

From what I've read Grant is highly respected by the administration from top to bottom. There are a few fans who are disgruntled but they wouldn't be happy if Bama was #1.

No love for the CAA? Drexel, Mason, and VCU are all good teams this year...

the administration is Very high on Coach Grant. the thing the admins. like the most, it's Coach Grant"s way or get out.
there are a couple knuckleheads on this team that he's lost and i won't be surprised if he makes every effort at seasons end to make them move on.
if he can get Bama in the dance every other year, i think the fans will take it.

It's a down year for the league and unlike most years, nobody in the conference really picked up quality nonconference wins. I'd be shocked if they got multiple bids. VCU and especially Drexel are both good though.

I say they definitely get 2 and maybe 3 again...

Good game last night. We have a very underrated freshman class. Green needs to watch another game or two...aww heck just tell him good luck and shake his hand.
