Not like they made the Final Four last year or anything.

Rick can elaborate but outside of beating Memphis twice an at large is out the window.

With this loss I think officially we don’t have an auto bid into the tournament anymore

It's AAC tourney or NIT at this point.

FINAL STATS: (17) FAU 68 Charlotte 70 | Davis & Boyd combined for 39 PTS to help the Owls make the 17-PT rally despite the loss. FAU's bench outscored Charlotte's 25-15, while the team edged them 13-8 in second-chance points.

Thought we'd lose ~ 7 games before the season started, and by the looks of it that will be a bit low.

To get an at large bid now with 2 Q4 and 1 Q3 loss, we would basically have to run the table.

NOT HAPPENING - AAC RPI is too low.

We will need to win the AAC tournament to get in in all likelihood.

Of course there is always the NIT…

(not in tournament)

 

Charlotte was only a Q2 loss. Not as bad as I thought 

Ok wow, yeah, you're right, upon checking Charlotte is a Q2 road loss…that's a blessing in disguise.

Could have sworn they were a Q3 loss.

Tulane is Q2 on the road but Q3 at home

UAB has dropped to Q4, and they were 1 just two weeks ago.

So, they DO NOT stay the same…

Getting harder and harder to take these heartbreaking losses in both football and basketball.

Same scenarios, give up a lot early then fall short on the comeback.
