That wouldn’t be ideal.

I think finishing in 4th alone would be huge. But UConn and Nova have to take some bad losses to get there

My initial thought is we want UConn to win to put a game between us and Nova but looking at it (and the game in progress), UConn is not the UConn of the past couple of years. Nova up 12 currently. I'm thinking we could overtake UConn if we win out. Of course that starts tonight. In the end I don't think it really matters that much as we need to win out regardless.

People are also forgetting that marquette has sucked lately and could also easily be in play with their remaining schedule.

UConn could be overtaken… all this is dependent on x winning out of course.

Regardless, I don’t think conference standings matter really in the grand scheme of things. If x wins out they have a chance to dance no matter their conference standing. Their conference standing also isn’t going to matter if they lose a game. They will be out barring a miracle imo.
