Three of the four play today. Will be interesting how it shakes out
Agree but 3/4 can still improve their resume and have much more winnable games today than us.
No one else with the chance to beat the number two team in the country (really #1)
100% but we know that works both ways
Games to watch:
Mississippi State vs #5 Tennessee — 1pm, espn
Texas A&M vs. #9 Kentucky — 7pm, SECN
Pitt vs. #4 North Carolina — 7pm, espn
Virginia vs. NC State — 9:30pm, espn
North Texas vs FAU — 7pm, espnu
Colorado vs #22 Washington state — 10:30pm, FS1
Providence vs. #10 Marquette — 8pm, FS1
To be clear, I’d be shocked if we’re out. But there’s a scenario where some of these teams continue to win and we lose and end up in Dayton.

Is it ok to root for Marquette today?
Unfortunately we all have to be BBQ chicken fans today
My hot take is the committee is gonna send TCU’s ass to Dayton
Like I said previously, the Big East is the second highest ranked conference metrics wise. We will get 5 or 6 teams in the tournament. They are not putting two Big East Teams in play-in games. Seton Hall has the weakest metrics of the Big East Teams and they can’t improve on them anymore. They will go to Dayton.
Seton Hall may be out entirely if things shake up a certain way.

I don’t see how Nova gets in now. Or am I missing something?
No they're out
That would be rough. Seton Hall must be big Marquette fans today.
Then that means Providence will be in because they beat Marquette and then they go to Dayton. Seton Hall did finish fourth in the second best conference in the country. I think the only way we end up in the play-in game is if A) we get blown out by UConn today and B) Providence wins the Big East Tournament. That might knock out Seton Hall depending on what else transpires and at that point Providence might have better metrics than us

I mean, 15 losses and 5 wins versus Depaul/Georgetown has to be a deal breaker for them. I only wish Depaul had put the final nail in.
I think its improbable we're in Dayton, but I think it requires a few of these things happening -- none of which are difficult to imagine:
-- We lose by 15+ points
-- A&M or Mississippi State winning the SEC tournament
-- UVA or Pitt wins AAC tournament
-- New Mexico wins MWC Tournament
-- Colorado wins Pac-12 tournament
-- FAU loses in the AAC tournament = bid stolen (already accounted for in current brackets in South Florida is the AAC AQ due to best regular season record)
-- Providence beats Marquette, either wins BET or plays UCONN close
Yeesh. Just when I thought it was safe to sit back and watch without worrying about anyone else, you list these combinations.
I always hated researchers.
I don't think we are going to Dayton but checking the scores from yesterday it is absurd how many bubble teams won. We got very little help
