Gotta give it to Tommy, he slapped this Arizona team around for the better

On Monday, we were considered part of the "Last 4 in", even after beating Cincinatti. That translated to an 11th seed. I have a feeling that is going to change when Bracketology releases again.

To be honest, I'm so not used to being in danger of not making the tourney at all. Hopefully they've righted the ship and can blast their way through the Big 12.

I think Lunardi undervalues us. Right now Arizona is #14 in the NET ratings. The highest NET ranking to ever miss the NCAA tourney was Indiana State last year, at #29. Sure if we lose too many games it could be impossible to overcome, but I think we'll be fine in terms of getting into the dance.

We could probably lose 11 or 12 games and be in the tournament with our SOS. Means we'd have to go 14-6 in Big-12 play, which is what KenPom projects our conference record to bem but also means we'd lose in the Big-12 tournament. The margin for error is really slim, and with games against ISU x 2, Baylor x 2, KU, Houston, and others, it's gonna be tough.
