Not sure what this means

Their record is bad.

They seem to have good players.

If they keep winning they could be an NIT team.

Tang is pretty mid with occasional flashes of his team playing well.

I don’t know if they can make it, but they are definitely going in a different direction than we are right now.

Classic case of early/1st half of the season not being 'as is' for the rest of it.

Not even close yet. If they win 2 out of their next 3 that would get them into fringe bubble territory. Then they would have to not have any bad losses the rest of the regular season.

We need them to win so that loss can become a Q2 loss rather than Q3. Their current NET is 79. To be considered a Q2 loss on our end, they need to get into the top 75. So they're close
adding to this...

as far as a bubble team? A team with a NET in the 70s has no shot. Same with the 60's and even the 50s.

Yeah, I'm not gonna stoop that low. It's OK with me if they get into the top 75 to help us out, but I don't want them to have the satisfaction of getting into the NCAA tournament.
60s is as far as I’ll go, you have a deal.

Typically they would need to get down to 40s. They can’t make up that much ground in the next month.

Believe me, I hope they finish 74th and Iowa 75th, both out of the tourney but both quad 1 road games.

Long way to go with a Net score of #79 today, 2-5 vs quad 1 and 2-5 vs quad 2 ranked teams. But they have won 4 games in a row, including beating 2 ranked teams, us and WV. There next two games will either make or break them both at home to KU and Arizona, split them, they could easily go 7-2 down the stretch, and pick up a win or two in the conference tournament they can make the final 4 teams into the field.
