Bubble Watch
« on: February 01, 2017, 12:40:47 PM »
Good to be back in and around the bubble!

From SI yesterday:

After beating Creighton and Villanova, Marquette (14–7, 5–4) dropped a home game to Providence. Sure, why not? The surprising loss notwithstanding, the Golden Eagles took a quantum leap in the right direction with their upset of Villanova last week. They now have to be favored to get an at-large bid. In fact, they likely already have the necessary signature wins to get into the Dance. At this point, Marquette may just need to avoid bad losses the rest of the way.

From CBS...

The Golden Eagles weren't even really on the radar until they went into Creighton and won on Jan. 21, which was the first game that the Bluejays were without their star point guard Maurice Watson Jr. That was still an impressive win, but it was followed up by an even more impressive one at home over Villanova.

Those two wins give Marquette a chance to compete for a spot in the tournament, but they will need to show some consistency. The Golden Eagles got a little too high off of those wins and followed them with a home loss to Providence. However, that is the worst of their seven losses, and if that remains true six weeks from now, they will give themselves a good chance to get in the field.

Marquette has a schedule of opportunity. The Golden Eagles have home games left with Butler, Creighton and Xavier, all of which are great chances to resume build. They just need to make sure they take care of business in most of the other games too.

Thanks for sharing.  The CBS "Bubble Watch" is pretty lazy. 

Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Indiana, OK State and Marquette are the 5 teams he analyzes for his bubble watch?

Lol...ok.

Lunardi has us as a #10 seed against Northwestern. That would be fun...though the whole world would be against us.

Also worth noting that Lunardi doesn't have us as LAST FOUR IN or LAST FOUR BYES.  Looks like there are still at least 8 teams behind us and the cut line.

Not all hope is lost, fellas.

Yep. Need 2 of the next 3. Saturday is the first must win of the season.

The other three 10 seeds are part of the "last 4 byes" so it seems we would currently be the 9th team in.

If we can finish 8-1 at home and two road wins we're good. Still doable.

Still 8 teams with a chance to dance from the BE.  Impressive.  Reminds me of the B12 from the past few years.

Palm has us as a 10.  He doesn't do "last 4 byes", but were somewhere between 5th to last and 9th to last team in.

A total of 8-1 at home.  Already lost that 1 to Providence.  So what he is saying is win out at home, and win two on the road.  That would get us to 11-7, in which case we're like a 7 or 8 seed probably. 

Really just need to get to 10 to feel safe prior to BET.

Agreed. A loss would be absolutely devastating for the program and would be a crushing blow to Wojo's development as a coach. I know that's painting with a broad stroke, but at the end of the day, it's about wins and losses.

With the Nova & Creighton wins we are safely in with 10 regular season wins we would be in 4th or tied for 4th.

We'll be favored @depaul, @providence, @gtown, St Johns. Assume we'll be underdogs against Xavier x2, Creighton and Butler. You think we get 6 out of this? 5 is a stretch in my opinion. 4/8 is most realistic in my opinion. In which case we have some work to do in BE tourney.

Depends on who shows up. Also have you looked at X or Creighton recently? They aren't exactly world beaters themselves.

No way we are favored at GT and probably not Providence either. Likely XU at home though.

I watch as much BE basketball as I can. Saw Creighton beat Butler at Hinkle. Saw X beat a St. Johns team that just destroyed us. Beatable, no doubt, but could also blow us out if we're brickin 3s.

I'm not confident enough in our offense to consistently make up for the total ineptitude of the defense.
