So Temple is under investigation for point shaving and losing games, suddenly comes alive and wins their conference tourney? Where is Henry Hill, Jimmy Burke and Michael Francese?Don't lose faith folks. As I said before, I may be delusional but I believe we are definitely in the tournament. We may have to play in Dayton (which personally makes me sick) but they are not leaving us out of the dance
These guys have all day to discuss, there are no relevant games tomorrow. FAU is an interesting case. That isn’t just a loss that’s an awful loss.We're definitely still in it. These bracketologists are far from perfect. We have very strong metrics with NET and Kenpom, and we have Rick Pitino as our head coach. It will be worth watching on Sunday.
To use Lunardi as our basis.
Our NET is 34 heading into today.
Last four byes
Texas A&M: 42 (they lost)
Mississippi St: 32 (they lost)
FAU: 33 (they lost)
Colorado State: 37
Last Four In
Colorado: 24 (they lost)
TCU: 43
Michigan St: 25
Oklahoma: 46
None of these teams were no brainers for the committee. They were absolutely not on that initial Top 35 list before they start taking out AQs.
We have a chance. Keep the faith!
Thank you for making me laugh on an otherwise shitty basketball day.Dear God
I sincerely apologize for eating that Cheeseburger and hot dog at the St Johns game yesterday. I know it was a Friday but the pretzels looked horrible. It's Dolan's fault not mine. If you send me to Dayton I won't eat meat again till Memorial Day
Sincerely

I say we are in and won’t watch the show tomorrow. Will say a few prayers for us at 5:30 mass including one to the great St. Patrick - little luck of the Irish won’t hurt.
Moose called that a few weeks agoDon’t be shocked if it’s Izzo vs. Pitino in Dayton.
Wait, wouldn’t both Temple or UAB be bid stealers???
Well then we should be hearing from mjm because he’ll be the first one notified if we’re going to Dayton.It's been said that on Sunday morning/afternoon Dayton teams are given a little bit of a heads up so they can start organizing their travel and what not. Hopefully anybody with some scoops can report back if they hear anything before the selection show
Only the winnerWait, wouldn’t both Temple or UAB be bid stealers???
Right so the article should have said, barring a win by Temple or UAB Johnnie’s are in.Only the winner
Wait, wouldn’t both Temple or UAB be bid stealers???
If you’re a competitor you want to play. Young guys get more experience guys in their last year get to keep playing. Plus if you think and rightly so that you belonged in the Big Dance then go win the NIT which includes a trip to Vegas.So do we accept NIT or pass on it?
