UTA lost by 1 at Alabama and beat BYU by double digits on their homecourt. This will not be an easy game.

Will be an interesting Marquette game to watch because it is Froling's first game with us. It will be telling how many minutes he gets, and whether or not he starts (I doubt he will). He should absolutely add a new dynamic to the offense, and should create more space for Howard/Rowsey/Hauser.

TX Arlington also lost last week to both (at) Northern Iowa (UNI) and (in TX) to Florida Gulf Coast (FGCU). Their Team Ranking is #96. Bring 'em on.

They are not Texas nor Baylor...not TT nor TCU. Should be a fun game for a half, then CU pulls away for the w.

Jays win 90–81. Foster with 32 points. UTA defeated Oklahoma in an exhibition game early in the season, and it wouldn't be surprising if they played in the NCAA tournament. Not a big name win, but will help in the RPI on selection Sunday.

Exactly, UTA will probably win 20+ games and have a top 100 RPI, nice win for the Jays.

according to RPI forecast their projected RPI before last night was 69.7. So it's going to be really close for being a tier 2 win for Creighton..... (remember 31-75 is tier 2).
