For those keeping track, that's sole possession of third place in the #BIGEAST, at least for one day! #SJUBB

were actually in 5th in terms of %. Thirst most wins however.

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.

What if we split our remaining 4 and won the 2 at home and lost the 2 on the road?

Need at least one and maybe two tournament games. Also really want to avoid finishing seventh. The Marquette game will probably be big for seeding in the Big East tournament.

I would think we have to just avoid losing our first BE game.

We would need 22 wins to be safe, unless we win @ Villanova, then 21 wins would get us in.

We get 22 when we win 1st BET game. 21 regular season plus at least 1 is sure thing.

Were in with most people now. If you hold serve at 2-2 now and dont bow out 1st tournament game and you are right back where you started. Unless of course some other bubble teams go crazy.
 
probably moved into 11 seed at this point.

Yep, St John's now an #11 seed:

Isnt there a rule that you can't play a team you played during regular season again until the Sweet 16? Or did they do away with that rule after all the conference shuffling? Or does Lunardi even use it during his calculations?

Think they just "try their best" to avoid it. Not 100% sure
 
Don't want to see Wisconsin again that early but as long as it's not Gonzaga in the first round I guess we can't complain too much.
 
would Loooooooooove to play UConn in touney, and eventually I want our team to face Duke. I think we can beat them and that would be awesome to knock them out.
 
CONFERENCE TEAMS
Pac-12 6
Big Ten 6
Big East 6 :p
American 5
Big 12 5
Atlantic 10 5
ACC 5
SEC 4
Mountain West 2
West Coast 2

This is what I like to see. Newsie may be wrong thinking that the new Big East was a dead end.
