He's correct.
.500 conference record means 3 more regular season losses.

If one of our wins was on road against nova, three more regular season losses wouldn't eliminate us.

I'd take that wager.
IMO, we need to win 12 games in conference, and then we can somewhat relax in the Big East Tournament.
That would be the best case scenario Mr. Dinkins Sir. Let's hope after getting blasted by GT in DC this team comes determined as hell tomorrow.

not trying to argue, just trying to understand the rationale. A 21 win team, even with a .500 record inside conference, out of the 4th ranked conference (RPI) should have a good chance to get a bid.
21 wins assuming worst case scenario 3-3 down the stretch, and two big east tournament wins.
The bubble isn't strong, as will usually be the case with the expansion.
Our destiny is in our hands. Don't have to win every game left in the BE,but have to finish above 500 , and get past at least 1 round in the BE tourney to be considered.I think our magic number is 22 wins. We would be a team on the rise and will get the benefit of the doubt. But we still have to take care of business. 1 game at a time ,lets get it done tomorrow.

That would give us 13 losses.
Just can't see an invite @ 21-13.
Southern Miss getting beat by Middle Tennesee by 13 with 15 minutes to go in the second half.
St Joseph's won handily by 11 at La Salle.
Clemson continues to slide losing at home to Virginia today
Penn state loses to Iowa
Oklahoma State, who I guess are playing themselves out of the tournament with their recent play, are in a dog fight mid second half against Oklahoma
West Virginia has a big game against Texas tonight. Hopefully the Horns win that one.
Florida State, for some reason, is in the tournament according to Joe Lunardi. He has them in barely, in the play in game. Anyways, they play @ wake forest tonight.
Tennesee and Missouri (two bubble teams) square off tonight, so someone's gonna lose.

It would depend on who the wins are against. If we beat Nova, go 3-3 and get to the finals of the tourney then we are a lock in my opinion.

Realistically if we went 3-3 with a road win over Nova and then beat 2 good teams, probably one of Nova and Creighton, in the Big East Tournament and were playing Saturday night we absolutely would be a lock.
That's assuming Providence and Georgetown don't play well and beat us. Georgetown especially has a good resume with a win over Michigan State. If they beat us twice, they get the bid first. Same could be with Providence if they beat us in the Big East tournament.
Southern Miss - Losses
Oklahoma State - Losses
Oklahoma State - Losses
We need 22 wins to guarantee a bid in the NCAA's. It doesn't matter how we get there. If we go 3-3 the rest of the way, then we are 19-12. We would then need to win the Big East Tournament to get in. If we go 4-2 the rest of the way we need two wins in the BE Tourney and so on. I think 22 is the magic number.
The kid I like is on UAB. They beat South. Miss by 24 a few days ago.
The kid is by no means is a superstar at all, but he's ferocious and a junkyard dog type of guy at 6'4. I saw him nearly rip some big guy's face off tearing an offensive rebound from him. I wish we had that at SJU.
