More so than Lunardi's bracket I like the Tuesday/Thursday updates to bubble watch.
St. John's [17-9 (7-6), RPI: 53, SOS: 41] What do we make of the Johnnies? Two weeks ago, we would have scoffed at the idea of Steve Lavin's team getting to the NCAA tournament, but in February, they're 5-0 in the following sequence: versus Marquette, at Providence, versus Creighton, at Seton Hall and versus Georgetown. As such, they have become a totally realistic bubble team. They're far from a guarantee, of course, but they've played themselves into serious discussion with one month to go.

this is interesting, the NCAA selection committee mock tournament (apparently done over the weekend, before we hammered Georgetown, as a bit of a abbreviated demo of the process for media members). A quick glance has 5 Big East teams, with the lowest seeded one, Providence, sitting in 45. Obviously this means little today, but is certainly promising.

fifth is how we were projected to finish. still plenty of time to move up the standings
RPI up one spot to #52. This is kind of disappointing. The Nova game is huge for RPI. The RPI formula just doesn't give two sh*ts if you win at home. We're looking at a minimum of a ten spot RPI jump with a win at Nova. @Marquette will also be huge.
This late in the season the RPI movements center on two things: who loses at home and who wins on the road. We are in good shape if we can avoid the home losses, split the road games, and wait for teams to lose at home and fall.
