I think Royce needs to stop trying to do so much on the offensive end. He's been forcing a lot of passes and I think that if he just lets the game come to him a little more, he'll get back on track.

Percy sure has stepped it up recently.

I loved in the first half when Percy had a transition bucket on an assist from White, and the announcers made a comment about how you don't often see a team's 4 and 5 out there running the break without a guard to be found.

Also, Babb had another smothering defensive performance, today. He just goes to work, and shut down one of the league's best scorers.

And, McGee made some fantastic hustle plays, like he always does.

This is a great team to watch.

I hope Fred is keeping an eye on Babb's younger brother. Played JV as a freshman and now starting varsity as a sophomore.

That's for sure. I really like the group of kids we have.

Looks like we're up to 37 in the RPI now. Haven't looked up the history, but would guess that teams ranked better than 40 from BCS conferences are pretty much locks for the tourney. Hopefully we can carry this level of RPI through the finish line.

This is off the top of my head, so anyone who can show differently can set me straight. Under-40s in BCS leagues have missed — I think it's rare, and bad-SOS probably played a part, too.

Get inside of 30, it's safe. If that happens, it'll mean enough big wins happened the rest of the way, which does the trick just as well.

Do you have to look at everything with a glass half empty?

Are you ever a realist? It is unlikely we'll be favored in any of the last 3 conference games so to say we will win any of them could be considered a stretch. That first game in the tournament against UT or KSU will be no piece of cake either.

I'd rather be honest about the situation than a constant sunshine pumper.

Deal with it.

You're not being a realist, because a realist would understand that we're much more likely to go 1-2 in our last 3 games than we are to go 0-3.

Just because you're negative all the ******* time, doesn't mean your a realist.

Sure we will not be favored in most games the rest of the way, but does not mean we can't win them.

This. Just because a team isn't favored in individual games, doesn't mean they're expected to lose them all. There's a decent chance of winning each of the four games individually (except maybe @ Mizz). Overall the chances of 2-2 have to be at least as high as 0-4.

Realistically I think we can go 2-2 down the stretch and lock in our tourney berth. TTech and either K State on the road or Baylor at home.

That's BS...I am not negative all the time. You never once comment on anything positive I say. You sit in the shadows and wait for my "negative" statements and pounce all over them like it's your job. Tell me what game we will be favored in for the last 3 conference games. Cmon...I'm waiting.

Go state.

The most recent one is Missouri State who was in the upper 30s last year and didn't get in. However, I think the two big surprises to get in the field last year, UAB and VCU, both had good RPIs as their best asset.
