They were fortunate to pull that out. Saved their tourney for now. Probably an elimination game for GTown unless something crazy happens. Simply can't see a 12 loss team dancing.

They won. Good. I want to see "Providence 2x" on our list of good wins come selection day.

LSU also currently up 4 on A&M with 2 min to go.

GT would be a 13-loss at large now (because of a BET loss) but I still think they can lose one more. Based on their remaining schedule, they'd have 6 very good wins and a tough enough schedule to get in with 14 losses (like we did in 2011).

Still, winning 4/5 with their remaining schedule is a huge ask. Probably be best for the league if they lose all 5.

This year not working very well conference wise. Teams that did well in non-con not doing that well in conf (sans Nova & X) and teams that did poorly in non-con doing decent but not great in conf.

Even with LSU & Prov winning, MU is currently 99 RPI thanks to Belmont losing to a crap Morehead State team

The thing is, if you want to get 6 or more teams in, you really need at least three teams to be very bad. This year, everyone that isn't St. John's or DePaul is thinking they have an outside shot at a NCAA bid. If you have 8 teams that are all good enough to contend for a bid, you'll probably only end up with 4-5 that actually get in because teams 5-8 will just drag each other down. Right now, the middle 6 are separated by 2 games in league. That make it hard to differentiate, and thus hard to hand out a lot of bids. Right now I think we get 5, but could easily see 4 if no one can create separation or 6 if a few teams can.

Luckily our non-con was good, with wins over Devry and University of Phoenix Online.

I agree with you on the three bad teams. Georgetown screwed everyone in the league by having two bad losses in non conference and then getting off to a good start in league. They either need to be a good team or crappy team. Mediocre helps no one.

Xavier righted the ship after Creighton with a road win at Butler but in some ways I would have preferred to see Butler win.

The Johnnies playing Villanova tough down 1 at half.

Villanova gets the win over the Johnnies.

Looking forward to tuesday nights game Creighton at Butler. Both really need the win .

Ochefu returns & scores career high 25 points (9 reb)

Herman Cain · « **Reply #293 on:** February 15, 2016, 04:32:43 PM »

1. Villanova
8. Xavier
23. Providence

Seton Hall getting a few votes in coaches poll.

Villanova and Temple on Wednesday should be a good game. Big 5 Championship at stake. Philly bragging rights.

Providence at Xavier a good game as well Wednesday

Creighton at Butler a big game for both teams tomorrow.

At this point MU has to win out.

Losses to DePaul, Creighton, and Seton Hall at home in conference. Just can't happen. Maddeningly inconsistent year. I think what's most frustrating about this is that we're not exactly sure what we'll have next year with Ellenson bolting. It's one thing to take your lumps knowing this unit is returning and will be bigger and badder.

Butler leading Creighton at half 36-29. Both teams really need this.

Solid win for Butler tonight over Creighton.

Tough Big 5 Road game for Villanova Wednesday at Temple for Big 5 title .

Butler peaking toward March. Nice progression to the Dance. Great hire.

DePaul will either be coming into MU game with a little momentum or they will be in the tank after today's game at St. John's.
