It will be tough to get into the NCAAs. We are 1-6 versus RPI top-50 teams, and while the computers won't know it, Oregon was clearly not at full strength. On the plus side, we don't have too many bad losses. USC (#106) is the worst loss. We absolutely have to beat UCLA and Colorado at home. If we do that, and either beat Oregon away or pick up 2 wins in the Pac 12 tourney, we could get in. I think we'll have to play our best to do that. I am not sure 10 Ray Lewis speeches could get our guys up for the NIT again.Â
