I would think they already are eliminated from at large contention. Maybe they could get an at-large if they lost to App St. in the conference championship. Otherwise, they will either win out and get the auto, or get a disqualifying loss.

G, you said "Dayton is a must win, I'll die on that hill". That's fine if that is your opinion, but can't I simply disagree without the "you are too literal" at times comment? Whether there is a 1% chance or 25% or more % chance without beating Dayton, I am saying we still have paths (multiple) there. That's all. You can disagree and that's fine, but I'm definite not being "too literal" here when I disagree with numerous posts that say Dayton is a must win and we have no at large chances without it. But, let's just beat Dayton (and win the regular season) so we won't have to worry about the other paths I suggested.
Pummeled by the algorithm overnight and plummet from 78 to 72 mainly due to UNLV dropping from 84 to 108 and now being a Q3 win.
Yep. UNLV looks like a dog. Things are going good, and they have some very impressive wins. Things go bad and they roll over big time. Lost by 32 to a 179 KP ranked Air Force team. The good news is they have some opportunity with games against Nevada (twice) SDUS, Col State, New Mexico left. But that one last night hurt us.
Let's do what we can control, just win baby!!
Agree, if we can get these next two games I feel like we will have huge momentum, and maybe even a little national buzz. And even a target on our back.
A 36-point depantsing of Dayton will be just what the doctor ordered...
Bonnie’s loss also moved them from Q2 to Q3. So now 3-2 instead of 5-2 in Q2.
At seasons end, I feel winning percentage in Q1, Q2, and combined is a good indicator of the committees ranking.
We beat Siena (with their 3 wins over Holy Cross, Rider, and Niagara) by 90-48.
i wonder if Dayton is any better than that?

VT - I like hearing from u. I thought my comment was very tame (for me) but I do apologize. Tho u did misquote me. I said "u r a LITTLE too literal AT TIMES" not "you are too literal". & I said I can be same way. Think some distinction there fwiw.
A 25% chance w/o Dayton win I'd discuss I just don't see it. My point is there is always a mathematical chance. But if u r the 4th or 5th team out on selection sunday it is near 0% so who cares u r not even close. VCU has a percentage chance for at large too. Like urmite's example we could lose Dayton, run the table lose again to Dayton in A10 finals. U could throw in we could win all our games by 20 I guess too. The math nerds would have some probabilities on it all. I'm not saying there are zero theoretical examples but the difficulty makes them non starters for me. That's why I joked well teams could turn down NCAA bids. Those odds are not 0% either. A Dayton win actually open more reasonable paths, tho still longshots. It allows u to go maybe 15-3 in A10. We need a resume win. The A10 while marginally improved does not give us much at all. It's a 1 bid league right now.

Until Mooney and team show that they're capable of beating VCU and do so, I'm not going to get too excited about slim, at best, possibilities of at large bids. Any talk that assumes we beat VCU twice is wishful. We've already exceeded my expectations and I'm happy for the team. Win the city, win the league, then let's talk.
So are you saying he was not being literal enough while demonstrating that you are being very literal? 🤣
Yes there could be some irony there but idk. I'll check with Alanis Morrisette.

They benefit from a conference strength of schedule that rivals the P5's. I'd be onboard getting us into the MWC at this point 😂
78 -> 73 with our great, but still officially Q3, win last night. Go Spiders ...

Nevermind Torvik off list too. So is urmite for posting a deceiving link lol.
Clearly our problem is that we didn't win by 36.
Wait until we don’t catch the Bonnie’s in NET tomorrow
Can we get the marketing dept. and our AD to begin handing out information to - I don't know - journalists who need content, about UR's record with Hunt in the lineup? We need the influencer campaign to start right now because our numbers aren't gonna be as pretty as we want. We need to pile wins, but ALSO we need people who can get things like this done to actually do it. Give them the easy talking points about why UR is deserving.
All of the rankings are a joke. Teams are kind of locked in after two months. I mean how can a team ranked 85 beat a team ranked 10 and only move up 4 spots?
And UVA goes from 55 -> 47 after beating a terrible Louisville team by 17
We're a better team than UVA right now and it should be obvious. We're the best team in the state.
