Nova is a spoiler for us. If we finish 5th, it needs to be with separation from the “rest”. Ideally we finish 4th. But we need those top teams to fold.

Nova will have 3 wins against the top teams and a split with us. We currently have 2 wins against the top 4. We don’t need Nova trying to overtake us for an at large

Marquette has been kind of shitty lately. Fully expect them to have at least 7 losses by end of reg season

I wouldn’t say “at least”, but 7 is possible.

Bottom line is that the BE has been pretty bad this year. CU has not met expectations. UConn is move more towards the bubble after early “3 peat discussions”. Marquette looked like a top 5-10 team and suddenly is at the bottom of the top 25.

Of course XU has done their part in this let down too.

SJU is the only team where you could claim that they have an exceeded expectations, but also with a backdrop of the rest of the BE underperforming, is that really a great accomplishment?

Need a reset this offseason to figure out scheduling philosophy and for the millionth year time the impact of playing so many conference games

The Nova win is quite bad for X in the quest to avoid a 6 seed in the BET. Since they have the tiebreaker (beat StJ) we may have to go 4-0 to be the 5th seed since Nova’s schedule is relatively easy. X going 3-1 could thus be a double whammy - slim at large bid chance and Wednesday game in the BET.

Does anyone have any idea what time the providence senior game at Cintas will be?

Won't know until next week.

To be fair to Creighton, they would have been more lethal had Pop Isaacs not had a season-ending injury back in November. Took them a few games to adjust, but the Bluejays should be a potential postseason noisemaker.

Have you looked at how many conference games the other 4 major conferences play?

Right. The only one that doesn’t play 20 is the sec.

IMO the big East is fine. They probably get 5 in, just don’t have an elite team this year. Just a few really good teams that could get to the second weekend

UConn getting boat raced by the Johnnies. Doesn’t help that they’re shooting 10% from 3 and SJU is at 50%.
