BRACKETOLOGY, RPI, SOS

This was a bad loss. Virtually 0 chance of making the tourney unless we win the tourney.

I just hope we play at night the 1st game so I don't waste my time taking off from work

I'm starting to fell really good that I booked my vacation leaving march 23rd
 
I do believe they can win the BET. I think tonight was an emotional letdown after the Nova game. Unfortunately it was a bad time for it.

They played tonight like a team who believed their press clippings. Nobody talked like this loss was even a possibility. It was all "if we lose to Nova we'll go 3-0 and let the chips fall where they may."
 
We have no shot at an at large bid to NCAA tourney. We didn't have one before the Xavier game. We have 1 win against a top 50. We have bad losses and only 1 quality win (Creighton). We need to win the BE tourney to get in. Start thinking about next year. If we aren't a sweet 16 team next year it would be a failure.
 
I dont buy the "emotional letdown after nova" excuse. We just played poorly, as we did in the nova game.

We have no go-to scorer...

Or other teams have discovered that if you defend D'Angelo as a priority, the rest of the offense is unreliable.
 
We came out with no energy and no rhythm and with the exception of a few small spurts, played that way the whole game. Xavier never got to far ahead, and we always had a shot, but we could never pull it together. We were 6 point favs at home in a must win game. This was unequivocally a huge loss.

WED bubble. BYES: Baylor, StJoe, BYU, OklaSt. IN: Minn, Prov, Tenn, StJohn. OUT: Rich, FlaSt, Ore, Mizzou. NEXT: Gtown, Neb, Dayton, SoMiss.

I don't get it. This has to be the softest bubble in the history of the NCAA Tournament

To be honest, it is pretty poor. If you've looked at the other teams on the bubble, many have poor records also.

Wow. Hope survives! We have got to get back to the team that clobbered Marquette and G'town.
 
Lunardi picks at a high percentage because he changes it every day. This team has no shot at the NCAA unless it wins the BET. So far, this choke special doesn't deserve more than the NIT...another tournament it has no chance of winning.

Of course he changes it everyday, it's a daily snapshot of the bubble situation...which changes every day.

After last night's game I jumped ship. Hence the name of this topic but looking at the bubble below us, I think it's still slightly doable without the automatic bid.

Does anyone know how ties are broken in the conference standings if two teams have split with each other? St. John's and Georgetown could both be 10-8 at the end. Who would be the higher seed?

It would then be decided on who has beaten the first place team and so on. So, if G'town loses to Creighton again, and end up tied with us at 10-8, then we get the nod over them since we have beaten Creighton. If G'town beats Creighton, and we both end up at 10-8, then it'll move to who has beaten Villanova.

Thanks. Georgetown would have to beat Nova, Creighton and at Marquette for them to go 10-8 so I don't see that happening.

You're welcome!

Likewise. I could see them winning one game out of their next three. I don't see them winning all 3 of those games. IMO, they are closer to losing all those games versus winning all of three of 'em. I say, they go 1-2 and finish up at 8-10.
