If I was a betting man, I would predict us to finish the year 4-4 which would be 17-14 overall.
That doesn't change the fact that if we go 6-2 the last 8 games, we will be in the NCAA tournament barring a massive change in policy from the selection committee.

Go to this link. Plug in results for the last 8 games. A 19-12 record (the website will say 18-12 because Chaminade doesn't count) is predicted to give us an RPI of 37.
This is the most important thing that everyone misses:
NO TEAM FROM A POWER FIVE CONFERENCE WITH AN RPI UNDER 47 HAS EVER BEEN LEFT OUT.
It's really simple guys.
If you think we're gonna drop 4 more games and miss the tournament, fine. I think that's pretty likely. But to act like this team doesn't have a chance to play its way into the tournament despite today's loss is incredibly ignorant.
