Utep is gonna struggle without Wilms, but hopefully can stay in top 4 and get bye

LA Tech is very beatable, just not at home

ODU is not good on the road

W. Kentucky is gonna lose at least 2more

UAB all the sudden is looking like a favorite once the tourney comes
UTSA has vastly improved
Marshall is showing confidence and playing well after beating Utep
 
I think WKU and LaTech tie for the top spot. LaTech would then take it due to head to head record. If we take that 3rd spot, I'd prefer that it unfold that way. If we take the 4th spot, which even that is no guarantee, I hope WKU takes it all. Bottom line, I don't want to face LaTech until we have to. Perhaps making the finals would get these Miners UP and ready to play a full 40. That's my hope at least.

I think a lot will be determined by the WKU-UAB game right up the road.

Formula for getting into the NCAA tournament

1. Finish among top 4 in conference

2. Win conference tournament

that is all...
 
I think UAB gets the 1st seed. Their re (maining road games are the 2 Florida schools and Rice/UNT. I think they will win out.

Looking at the other schedules I think UTEP can only lose 1 more and get a first round bye. Maybe 2 more but that's it.

UAB 16-2
LT 15-3
WKU 14-4
UTEP 14-4 (lose the tiebreaker to WKU)
 
We'll see what Western is made of. They have 5 of their last 7 on the road:

@ Marshall
@ MT
@ UAB
@ Charlotte
@ ODU

It's not inconceivable that they lose 4 out of 5 of those. It wouldn't be surprising if they went 2-3. So, they'll be tested the last half of the year.
