...to stay only 14 points behind cincy at half. The slide has already started to happen?

Yes it has. They’re still a pretty good team, good enough to make the Tourney bubble, but already below what they were with Larry Brown.

They’re now down 18.

The conference has two really good teams. A couple of bubble teams (SMU and UCF) and three or four NIT caliber squads. Going to be a struggle to get more than three teams in the dance imo.

Cincy was beaten two days ago on the road and a tech on Temple allowed them to pull it out. WSU probably the best.

My guess is the 3rd place finisher will have enough road wins to make the tourney. SMU is better situated because of wins over Arizona (neutral) and USC (at home). SMU will need to pull off a big road win - as here or UCF. The loss at Tulane was a big one. And, less you misread this post, I'm not pulling for the SMU Tulsans to make it.

Interested to see how many conference games Wichita State and Cincy lose to teams outside of those two. I think the Shockers have a chance to run the table.

Not good for the league to have WSU run through unscathed... because you know as well as I do that the narrative surrounding that won’t be how good WSU is, but rather how bad the AAC is and how few bids the conference deserves.

They won't be unscathed. They'll have a bad night against somebody good enough to beat them on a good night. They'll lose one or two. Hopefully 1 of their losses will be against somebody like us, Tulane, UCF, etc. To prove even more that the league is a good league.

Glancing at the Shockers schedule there are several games which might spell trouble (@Houston, @SMU, @Tulsa, @UCF, @Cincy) I don’t think they will lose at home.

They did not run through the Valley undefeated often right? So why would we expect it in a much stronger conference?
