slu72 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hmmm, no Mizzery in your list. Obviously you didn't read Burwell's column this morning, the Ostrich's are thinking final four thoughts once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 You can believe me if you want but in an email to my tourney buds yesterday morning, I predicted a UAB win over Cincy. I also have UAB parlaying that win into the tiebreaker that gives them the regular season title over Cincy and the #1 C-WHO seed. Having said that, I think your first blush ranking is a good attempt but I think Memphis and UAB are the rising teams in this conference right now. Cincy can't seem to win on the road as evidences by their losing what, the last 4 out of 6 road games. And Louisville is dropping as fast as a guard-oriented team that can't shoot can. Maybe it happens as you say for UC asi I figure them to win the C-WHO tourney what with it being in Cincy. But I think Louisville is very close to free fall .... they will lose this weekend in Cincy. TCU destroyed them on the road and I am hoping we give them our usual tough game and take them out at Savvis. If what I think happens from here on out .. UA, Cincy, Memphis and Charlotte get the top four ...in that order. DePaul gets the five, and us, TCU and UofL all tie for sixth with us having the tiebreakers based on head-to-head wins against TCU and UofL. MU is ninth, SoMiss is 10, and ECU and Tulane come in but I don't know who gets the higher seed. I am thinking ECU becasue of last night's win over Tulane which would make for a SLU-ECU game in Cincy with the winner moving on to play Memphis. I'll go that far with the Big Dance seeds left up to you as noted above. I really like UAB right now. I said in an earlier post that Memphis beats them in Memphis but they win out the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
