Up 6 spots in the NET Sunday

With FL who we beat beating #1 on the road, Clemson beating #2, us taking care of business by 23 and a few others combos we moved from 23rd to 17th. Not bad.

Still don't think 14 Zags, 11 KU, 16 Maryland and 12 Illinois should be ahead of us. Oh well. Just win baby!
The Zags...still a laugher. And KU - they are nowhere near what the pundits thought they'd be at the start of the season.

If we can put something together this last half of February, we get into the top 10 of the NET easily. And as we all know, the NET is (supposedly) the key for committee seeding. To get a 3 seed we need to be firmly planted in the top 12 (preferably not 12th as that gives the committee fodder for moving us to a dreaded 4).

We need to win big the rest of this month. I still believe we'll wrap up 6-2 or 5-3 and smack dab in the 4-seed range, but I'm hopeful that with Butler back and Amari finally playing to fans' initial expectations, we pull off a strong finish. Of course, we need Jaxson and that wrist situation appears to be risky (I think it's a sprain or deep bruise, not a fracture due to it only be cross-taped and not splinted).
