Lunardi still has us in, despite the loss. All this doom and gloom not 100% warranted IMO, just a bad game, we will bounce back
BRACKETOLOGY, RPI, SOS
- Thread starter Marillac
- Start date
It feels as though our chances of making the tourney are reliant on other bubble teams losing down the stretch. Some good results for us tonight:
George Mason over Richmond. (Richmond - first 4 out)
Iowa State over West Virginia
Arizona over Cal. (9 seed)
Illinois over Nebraska (next 4 out)
Texas over Baylor. (10 seed)
Bad results:
Tennessee over Mississippi St.
LSU over Texas A&M
Overall, not a bad night.....

Plus I assume Okla State is going to lose this weekend to Kansas, which would help. I think if we beat DePaul, we will stay in the last four in going into next week.
I agree with you, but we've had almost a week to prepare, we are on a two game losing streak, it is desperation time, plus I'm sure the guys are still angry with themselves about the first game.
This culmination of factors leads me to believe we win this game handily.

Pretty good night for St. John's last night:
-Richmond took a bad loss against George Mason
-Nebraska was in a "need to win out" type scenario before last night's loss to Illinois
-NC State came dangerously close to getting right back in the conversation losing to UNC in OT
-Baylor missed their opportunity to get a bid locking win against Texas
Some how Lunardi has us at the very last team with a 62 RPI

To me we gotta win these last 2 games. I`m sure we could take it to Saturday night, but not sure of SJU winning the B.E. tourny.
That would give us 22.
Maybe rest Obekpa for the Marquette, there is no doubt that we should beat DePaul even without him.
That would give him 1 1/2 to rest for Marquette, which is gonna be a freaking HUGEEE game.

Depaul just beat Seton Hall...How much better are we? If CO can play,then he should....if Depaul wins,and CO is being saved for Marquette,how stupid will Lavin look?

According to ESPN last night Lunardi has us as one of the first four in, along with Minnesota, Tennessee, and Providence. Glad to see North Carolina State and even Perdue lose.
