Brackets and Rankings: 2024-2025

[Xville]

When I look at Xavier’s Big East schedule and try to predict the outcome I can’t get comfortable with having confidence in winning any games other than.
Georgetown and DePaul Home and Away . 4
Seton Hall at home . 1
Butler and Providence at Home 2 .

To get to 9 I need to add both Butler and Providence away.
To get to 10 I need to add St. John’s or Villanova at Home.

How do you see it?

Here’s how to get to 12 wins in conference. I hope they get more but this I feel at least decent about:

Seton hall 2
Gtown 2
DePaul 2
Providence 1
Butler 1
Nova 1
Creighton 1
St. John’s 1

Either nova/providence on the road.

Seton Hall is horrible. Losing 1 game to them would be a potential killer. With that being said, as of right now, I have a tough time believing this team will win 12 conference games. Lots of time to go and lots of mediocre BE teams though, so maybe they can pull out some of the close ones.

[X-band '01]

I wouldn't be taking a sweep of DePaul for granted this year. Also agree with Xville that sweeping Seton Hall is now becoming a must.

[Xavier]

Xavier moved up to 75 in the NET. For what that’s worth.

Moved up to #61 in kenpom as well. Pretty evident that beating really shitty teams is the way to move up quickly in these things, and make your team "look good." How stupid

[X-band '01]

Beating a shitty team by 61 is why they moved up considerably. Nearly losing to South Carolina State (along with struggles against Texas Southern and IU-Indy) is also keeping the metrics down.

[Xville]

Need to win at least 1 of the next 3, then the schedule gets "easier" for five games after that, where they will really need to capitalize.

still has 5 big east teams in with Creighton being one of the last teams in. One of the most peculiar things is he has Providence safely in with a 7-5 record. That's an interesting take. I'm not sure if he is taking into account Hopkins being out earlier as to why all those losses shouldn't count or what. Weird.

He has them as the AQ? wtf

There was no part of me that thought we'd be out of bracket projections before Christmas.

And Dayton would be a 7 seed...not even 2 months after they looked like a D2 squad.

I hate life.

Providence is 1-0 in the league. They currently lead the league. That's why.
