...Can we make the Tournament?

We will beat Seton hall in the quarters and Xavier will lose to uconn in the quarters.  At that point, no one can have either Xavier or seton hall ahead of us regarding an ncaa tournament bid.

Don't worry about jinxes MJD. 

if we need to we can just get Mean Gene to give up on our team at halftime. I told him to do it tonight and it worked like a charm :)

I will not take the prediction back.  We psychologically destroyed seton hall tonight.  You are up 18-0 and lose like that???????  You dont come back from that 5 days later.  not at Madison Square Garden.  Not against this st johns team.

Seton hall is wounded and will be taken out back on Thursday and put out of there misery.

And I have a feeling we will be seeing Marquette in the semis.

This path to the Big East finals is a gift from the basketball gods.  Lets enjoy it.

I just wanna state for the record that when we lose on Thursday I'm completely blaming the Duke of Earlington

Could we have gotten a better draw in the tourney?  A seton Hall team that couldnt beat a Div 2 school right now and then a very injured Nova team.

You could not have dreamt up a better scenarion 3 weeks ago.

I like the path also but I also know St. John's basketball. We have a way of losing when momentum is at its highest for our team. See the Butler loss. See the DePaul loss. I'm not about to go an guarantee victories just yet 

also, I think we are a better team than seton hall. But Willard is a good coach. He makes good adjustments. I'm not exactly comfortable playing a team we just beat. They will make some changes for sure. I'm definitely nervous about that game.

With all of that said too, I still don't know what Posh's status is. We won these last two without him. But for us to win 3 games in 3 days I think we need him in there. So let's see what happens there. 

Im excited for this BET and agree we got a good path, but still apprehensive as of now.

Better to play and bear Nova in the semis.  If we play Marquette, we will need to win the tournament to get a bid.

Well, Lunardi had us as the last team in the Next Four Out. Let's see what happens if we win a couple more.

Edited to add: Also just popped back up in ESPN's updated Bubble Watch...[URL]https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2599/st-johns-red-storm[/URL]]St. John's Red Storm [/url]You just can't keep St. John's out of Bubble Watch. Six straight wins landed the Red Storm here in early February. Then three losses in four games earned them a brief period of invisibility around these parts. Now Mike Anderson's men are back, thanks to victories at home over Providence and fellow bubble aspirant Seton Hall. Wins on the road at UConn and at home over Villanova give this profile enough heft to get St. John's in the conversation. Now there's work to be done at the Big East tournament.
I could be wrong but I truly believe most people out there like CMA as well as SJU and would like to see him in the Big Dance. 
Yes there is work to be done next week but I don't believe we have to win it to get in. I honestly believe that if we can win our next 2 games we will hear our named called on selection Sunday. 
Our fate is in our hands. Nova is injured unfortunately and Creighton unfortunately is dealing with an internal crisis. The road is easier but we have to win. Rest up and get ready for Thursday night boys. 
Exactly!

As much as I believe that we are every bit as good and better than most BE teams, the margin between any team is small and wins come down to commitment to 40 minutes. It’s like a tug of war, one monetary lapse in the grip and your done. No looking past the next opponent, the next half, the next 4 minutes

We are going to need to earn our place at the table because our ticket is far from punched.  Our draw is fair at this point.  Gotta play Seton Hall the way we played for 30 minutes yesterday.  Hopefully get Posh and Moore back.  Need to play with energy and purpose for 40 minutes a game throughout the tourney.  Nice to still be in control of our date though and not out of it yet.

assuming Posh plays and Moore isn't benched again for ??? reason, Hall is going to have to prepare for a game against a team that just thumped them with two of their better pieces in the game,  if it wasn't for that I'd be hesitant about back to back wins.
