Not as bad is it seems

[Al Uhrig]

While last night's loss was discouraging, the Bearcats NCAA tourney
hopes are very much alive and well. After the loss the Bearcats RPI is #
33, SOS is # 4, still NCAA tourney material. The Bearcats have clinched
a spot in the Big East Tourney, Rutgers plays St. John's so one of them
must lose their 10th Conference game. A win vs West Virginia or a first
round Big East tourney win clinches a spot in the NCAA tourney, and the
RPI will probably be in the 30's even if they should lose the next two
games.
