W @Utah St. 64-63
W UTEP 73-66
L (N)Utah St. 52-65

Tournament Games:
(8) Pacific 79 - (9) Pittsburgh 71

The good: 2nd best winning percentage in the country behind Illinois. 14-2 Road/Neutral record. 4-2 vs RPI Top 50. 9-1 in the last 10 games. Played Kansas tough at Kansas early in the season. Terrific shooting team at over 50%. Took down both mid major tourney teams they faced.

The bad: Can get into trouble against a tough pressing defense. Will not be able to overcome a bad shooting night. Softer inside than their big men's numbers would indicate.
