We also love the way the Aggies have played the last two weeks, and decided it was time to put them in the field. They have won five of six, including home wins over Utah State and Boise State, and we feel that right now they should be considered the favorites to come out of the WAC.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-45729099703482045912008-02-19T13:56:00.000-05:002008-02-19T13:56:00.000-05:00LOVE your comments on Houston...normally I don't r...LOVE your comments on Houston...normally I don't really care about Conf.

I don't know if it's a product of you seeing NMSU playing at full strength and taking out teams by 20 on a consistent basis as of late or the fact that the WAC tourney is at home? Or is it the fact that Utah State has lost three in a row?<BR/><BR/>NMSU's true test will be coming up at Nevada on the 28th. Nevada did a good job against NMSU in the first match up. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-91312742724339571712008-02-19T01:19:00.000-05:002008-02-19T01:19:00.000-05:00We agree with you on UNLV's soft resume.

The 'Ville is very dangerous, and playing very well going down the stretch. Also, while GTOWN has been on a bit of a slide lately, it's important to remember three things about them:<BR/>1. All four of their losses have been on the road against the RPI top 50. <BR/>2. When they are playing well, it's almost impossible to score on GTown.<BR/>3. They are the only team that controls their own destiny for the BE regular season title. <BR/><BR/>Assuming Gtown wins at home vs. Cincy, I'm not sure how they're below a three seed next week (especially considering the RPI). I think in the end, UL, Gtown, and UCONN will be fighting for a 2,3, and 4 seed, and the end of the regular season and BET will determine who gets which of those seeds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-20531944804304361202008-02-18T17:09:00.000-05:002008-02-18T17:09:00.000-05:00One more quick tidbit on UConn - the Huskies are o...One more quick tidbit on UConn - the Huskies are one of only two teams (UCLA is the other) to have five wins against the RPI Top 25.

But the truth of the matter is, they are a phenomenal team who is on fire right now. They remind me a lot of our run in the second half of the BE season last year. They are going to be a tough out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-67550459004995228472008-02-18T14:34:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:34:00.000-05:00UConn earned a 2 seed this week because they are t...UConn earned a 2 seed this week because they are the best team in the Big East right now. The Big East champ, whoever it is, is going to get a 2 seed when all is said and done. Based on how they've played of late, we like the streaking Huskies to be that team.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-39425040545630976112008-02-18T14:09:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:09:00.000-05:00This is for the first comment.

This UConn team wins games, and they are not blowing anyone out. (See Indiana and Georgia Tech.) According to your account, how good is Memphis then? They "struggled" against Houston and UAB this week.<BR/><BR/>When you play in the Big East and have a road game some 1500 miles away in Tampa (where it is 77), of course you will struggle. Games at Miami was always a little shop of horrors for UConn back in the 1990s.<BR/><BR/>UConn has the RPI to back up this ranking, so you can't accuse Chris or Craig of being homers. <BR/><BR/>I will agree, the BET is going to be fun.

They are really rolling and that's without Dyson. <BR/><BR/>I kind of disagree with SU not being in your field just from the stand point they have three very winnable games the rest of the way that will get them to 9-9 in the conference which will get them in the tourney if they win one game in the BET. <BR/><BR/>Miami is under .500 in their conference and I don't know if they can get back to that mark.Jameson Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467245041213392492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-74062796810605134492008-02-18T09:00:00.000-05:002008-02-18T09:00:00.000-05:00ACC cream rising to the top.
