Bubble Watch

WELCOME TO ST JOHN'S IAN JACKSON !

 

[1988 Alum]

I hate college basketball

49-46 Oregon. Fingers crossed Colorado can pull it out.

Here is my thought process:

1. If things went well the BE might have gotten 6 bids and SJU would have been in.

2. If things went OK the BE would have gotten 5 bids and SJU would have been in.

3. Since things are an absolute shit show on the bubble, the BE will get 4 bids.

4. The only remaining question is as between SJU, PC and SHU, whose resume the committee prefers. Most seem to think that is SJU on the metrics. We won't know for sure until tomorrow, but I think SJU is in as the 4th BE team.

5. That they are the 4th BE team does not necessarily mean they will be in a play-in, although they may well be. So be it, we will win and then move on.

BTW the NC State win eliminates Virginia and maybe even Clemson, the question there is if the ACC gets 3 or 4.

I'm not sure how Clemson is out.

Fully concur, what choice do I have

Clemson is a 6 or 7 seed

Life was so much easier with Norm and Mullin and CMA as coach

 

[mattc]

I don’t see any scenario where the Big East only gets three teams in.

 

[MJDinkins]

NC State should eliminate Virginia.

Not sure why everyone is so hung up on the amount of teams that get in from a specific conference. That's not how any of this works

Unfortunately Mullin looks like still will be last ST John’s coach to get to tournament for at least another year.

Yes it is

 

[dk423]

From ESPN to FOX, I continue the torture.

 

[lawmanfan]

I take your ACC opinions and divide or multiply by 2 as needed

 

[Mean Gene]

ACC was a much weaker conference than the Big East

Oh now you've done it. Mugs is on his way to your house.

Great the team rallied late, put a streak together, grabbed a BE win & went toe to toe w UConn. I thought that would be enough. If not I will think of three games we had in our grasp in UConn away, Creighton away & M’Q. Close on one of those all this discussion is moot.

Concur. An entire conference can get if it's warranted or two can get in from an entire power conference.

Also the UBS Seton Hall game

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Right now, we are on the right side of the bubble. If Colorado wins, we stay there and there are no more bid stealers left.

True or false?
