but I think the key remaining game left on the OOC slate is Arizona State. Yes, as it stands now, I expect to win that game.
I think at Wichita State and at Arizona are gravy. Not saying I don't want to win or we cannot win - but say UNLV drops those two games... It'd still be considered a good OOC if UNLV handles ASU. Lose to ASU and drop those two roadies and it's just decent because you still did beat two ranked teams.
I'd be happy with 1 of 2 vs UofA/Wichita. But to me, they aren't required to make the NCAAT, which is the ultimate goal. Those games aren't needed to get you in, but they give you the seeding you want. So yes, they're important.
