Q1 wins, and Q1+Q2 record
We are currently 2-6, 5-11.
If we go 19-14, that record would probably be 2-7, 6-12

Compare that to the 6 teams below that are the first six [B]out[/B] of the tournament..
NC St:  4-5, 9-9
Rhode Island 1-4, 6-7
Richmond 2-4, 4-6
Texas 5-7, 7-11
Miss St 2-7, 7-9
Purdue 4-11, 9-13

And we are not even considering that there are teams in as of now that could lose their spot, to 2 or 3 bubble busters.

Here are the last 5 in per the bracket matrix that are also in the equation
Cincy - 2-6, 9-6
UCLA - 6-6, 9-9
Utah St - 2-4, 4-6
Rutgers - 4-9, 8-10
Stanford - 5-5, 7-8

Not to mention, at 19-14, our Q1 wins lack a marquee element, and our NET is much lower than all of those teams.   People that have read my posts know that I encourage people not to throw in the towel too early.  But this is just not it.

[B]As an aside, making the ACCT Final, with 2 more quality wins, is a much different scenario:[/B]
It's 4-6 instead of 2-6 (Q1)
Its 8-12 instead of 6-12 (Q1+Q2)
Its at least one extra marquee win
And our NET would be closer to acceptable.

At least at that point we are in the range of others.
