...Can we make the Tournament?
- Thread starter ADORAZ
- Start date
Bubble teams have made some moves... as of today we are only on 1 bracket on bracketmatrix.com. I think scheduling another team would be a good idea, but it NEEDS to be a Q1 or Q2 game. Right now we just need to keep winning (obviously) and also need more solid opportunities.

Sounds like he's implying pulling a UConn... which means come up with some covid releated excuse to pause in order to skip certain games you don't wanna play at the time. Then pick and choose which one's you want to make up based on your team's situation when you return.Adam" post=420549 said:
I'm still mad that St. John's had to go on the road to play UConn, but UConn doesn't have to return the home game to St.John's, when there's been plenty of time to make it up and St.John's has been more than willing to play the game. UConn simply said, that game is of no benefit to them, they'll give Villanova their return game because it helps them if they win, but the St.John's game can only hurt them so it's a no for them. I said in another thread I really hope the committe rewards the teams that played more games and tried to reschedule as many games as they could. There's teams on the bubble now that are going to end up with less than 20 games total, and most of them aren't trying to reschedule or add more games. It's easier to avoid bad losses if you don't have to play them.
Making Plays - what's funny too is that St. John's would be a Q1 game for UConn (top 70 away game), but they'd only be a Q2 for us. Honestly, I think they just don't want to get swept in their first season back. If we were in the Midwest I'm pretty sure they'd schedule us.
I can't wait until next year when we don't need to worry about any of this nonsense again.

I forgot who posted this in another thread (think it was Paultz), but it was a tweet from a UConn media member that basically said UConn was willing to reschedule their home game against Villonva because it would for sure be a Q1 home game for them, but they weren't interested in scheduling any more road games that they weren't sure would be a Q1 game. Basically saying, they weren't sure St.John's would end up being a Q1 game, which they have a point it's close to the borderline and 1 slip could knock the NET back outside the top 75. And with Villanova barring a massive collapse they will have a top 30 NET.Adam" post=420560 said:
With that said, regardless if it's a Q1 or Q2 for them, it's straight BS that they can decide which one's they want to make up. That's unfair. CMA could have easily told Leito that they weren't going to make up the DePaul game, because it's all risk with no reward.

I would reach out to Siena College which is an easy 2+ hour drive down the NYS Thruway,
Playing StJ's t is a can't lose for Siena, Currently Siena is in 1st place in the MAAC. The MAAC is a one bid league. If Siena holds on and wins the MAAC Tournament then it would be a #15 seed in the NCAA Tournament whether it does not play StJ's or if it loses to StJ's. If however in the unlikely chance Siena was to defeat StJ's then it could move up to a higher seed in the tournament..

St. Louis, a fellow bubble team most bracketologists have a couple of spots ahead of us just got run out of the gym by a mediocre Dayton team.
Forget Syracuse.
I am told that after StJ's defeated the University of Syracuse three consecutive seasons 2014, 2015, and 2016 that Boeheim has refused to schedule StJohn's.
So no, you should not hold your breath hoping that Syracuse will agree to travel to Carnesecca to play a last minute game against StJ's.

If I was CMA I'd wait until after the Villanova game to make a decision on adding another game. You beat DePaul and you steal a game at Villanova, they'll be safely in the field. And for the type of game they'd be able to add, which will probably be a Q2 game at best, it would be more risk than reward at that point.
Adding a game IMO would only make sense if they lose to Villanova, just beating DePaul won't move the needle at all, beating Providence (if other bubble teams ahead of us lose) would probably move the needle a little bit, maybe 1 or 2 spots, beating Seton Hall would put them in the last 4 in or close to the last 4 byes, so another Q2 game in that situation would help move that needle a little bit and possibly allow for an 0-1 in BE tournament apperance and they still make the tournament.
