Frogs back up to #4 in RPI. Projected SOS at the top of the season is in the top 10.

Texas Tech is really good this year. They are going to be tough in the tournament.

They added 2 very nice freshmen in Smith and Culver. Zhaire Smith is going to be an absolute nightmare to guard.
Man the B12 has some incredible freshmen this year.

UNC @ FSU is the big one tonight. Also watching Clemson @ BC (Jim Christian has a very inconsistent team that’s beat duke and should’ve beat Virginia the other day). St. John’s-Creighton should be good too.
In the Big 12, OSU travels to Norman tonight - 8 pm on ESPNU

That BC-Virginia game was frustrating. I had BC on the Moneyline at +1050 and they had the ball down 1 at the end. Turned the ball over on the inbounds pass and Virginia thought the game was over, but the clock operator messed up so BC got another crack at it. BC inbounds again and goes inside to their big man who gets whistled for an offensive foul.
A chance for me to win $1,050 and they didn't even get a shot off despite getting 2 cracks at it.
Regardless BC is a lot improved this year.

8-10 will do it. 7-11 would for other teams but I don't think we have the non-conference resume for a team like us to be able to overcome 7-11.

Hard to say yet. I agree with Boomhauer that 9-9 in the #1 RPI league is a lock with a 13-0 OOC record. Besides, that record would put our RPI safely in the top 30.
We’re in a really tough stretch with @ BU, vs. KU, @ UT, @ OU. We’ve probably got to win 1 of these next 3, and anything after that is a big boost.
End of the regular season (well, 4 of the last 5) sets up for us to put some late Ws on the board with vs. OSU, @ ISU, vs. BU, vs. KSU, @ TTU. Go 4-1 there and not 0-1 in the Big 12 Tournament and you can add a momentum argument if you’re 8-10 or 7-11.

12 Wins in conference is doable and would get us a high seed. We are capable of sweeps against ISU, BAY, KSU, and Tex...Not easy but capable.
