Today's slate appears to feature mismatches - we will see.
#10 Memphis (15-3, 4-1) at Tulane (11-6, 2-3); 1pm (espn2)
Wichita State (8-9, 0-4) at South Florida (10-5, 3-1); 2pm (ESPN+)
#23 Florida Atlantic (14-4, 4-1) at UTSA (7-11, 1-4); 3pm (ESPN+)
Here are my updated ranking heading into today's games:
NCAAT Bound
1. Florida Atlantic (14-4, 4-1); NET: #28 - Owls should be able to get to 20 wins before finishing with 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a NET of 76 or better
2. Memphis (15-3, 4-1); NET: #49 - 11 of last 15 Tigers' games have been decided by 6 points or less; Memphis should be 20-4 or better before they have to play at North Texas, at SMU, then at home against Charlotte and #23 FAU in a tough four game stretch
On the Bubble
3. SMU (13-5, 4-1); NET: #32 - NET rankings keeps dropping for the Mustangs despite only Quad 1 win, but must travel to an under-the-radar nationally North Texas team on Thursday
NIT Bound
4. North Texas (11-6; 4-1); NET: #76 - We will learn alot about how good the Mean Green are this week at they host SMU on Thursday (espn2) and travel to #23 Florida Atlantic next Sunday (espn2); a sweep and North Texas could be playing themselves onto the bubble
Post Season Possible
5. Charlotte (11-7, 5-1); NET: #102 - Since their conference opening loss to SMU, the 49ers have won 5 straight including a win over #23 Florida Atlantic and held North Texas to 44 points on Saturday
6. South Florida (10-5, 3-1): NET: #130 - Winners of 8 of their last 9, including a road win over #10 Memphis, the Bulls now have 4 games in a row against teams with a combined record of 4-17 in conference play
7. UAB (12-6, 4-1); NET: #156 - Blazers are now heading into a brutal 5 game stretch where they have to play teams with a combined record of 21-5 in conference play, with 3 of those on the road
8. Tulane (11-6, 2-3); NET: #110 - The Green Wave maintain a strong NET, but have stumbled out the gate in conference play and now have two games against Memphis and two games against SMU among their next 7 games;
Second Division
9. Wichita State (8-9, 0-4); NET: #145 - losers of 8 of 9, their only win during this stretch is 1 point home win against Southern Illinois; Shockers have only played 3 homes games since November 29th
10. East Carolina (9-10, 2-4); NET: #200 - The Pirates feel like they have underachieved with 2 of the league's top 16 scorers and the league's 3rd best rebounder
11. Tulsa (10-8, 1-5); NET: #197 - Before Saturday's blowout loss to SMU, all 4 of the Tulsa's conference losses had been by a single digits
12. UTSA (7-11, 1-4); NET: #289 - Roadrunners land here due to their win at Rice
13. Rice (7-11, 1-4); NET: #239 - Owls land here due to their win at Temple
14. Temple (8-11, 1-5); NET: #238 - How bad is the Temple offense? Hysier Miller is 11th nationally in shots attempted per game but only shoots 34% from the field AND he has attempted more than double the shots of anyone else on the team
I'll update the All-Conference Teams with next Sunday's update as there just isn't much movement week-to-week.
