Gtwn closing the gap turned home games against us into Q2 games. Rest of the conference is pissed!

[lawdog77]

Xavier losing by 13 at home to the team 90th in NET drops them only 3 spots. Lucky them.

[rocky_warrior]

After all the games concluded last night, our Kenpom went from 32 -> 39, but Torvic went from 41 -> 39.  They've finally converged!

Illinois losing to Rutgers, no bueno

The RAC is back to being a house of horrors.  Only 2 losses there this year...to #315 Lafayette (??) and #91 Maryland.  But wins against #12 Purdue, #18 Iowa, #23 MSU, and #17 OSU and #31 WI, and #15 Ill (all kenpom #s)

The win vs. WI was in Madison.

I sure hope MU ends up with better
than a seven seed.

A win this weekend would really help.

A win this weekend would really help.

I would say that Marquette has a nearly 100% chance of staying on the 6 line or better with a win this Sunday, so yea from that perspective this one is huge.

Lets not forgot that after this weekend MU has 3 home games left against the bottom half of the league- yes the game at DePaul is basically a home game.

That 2 line has some teams that Marquette just cannot beat unless it plays a perfect game and everything aligns- teams with extremely athletic lineups and a lot of quality bigs like Duke, Purdue, Baylor, Kansas/Kentucky.
Having to beat one of those to make the sweet 16 would be bad news

The 3 line gets playable with teams like Texas Tech, Tennessee, Houston. If Marquette lands in the 6 line or better the odds of a sweet 16 run become astronomically better imo, even though winning that first game is all my setting my hopes on.

I view the 4/5 basically interchangeable with regards to the competition outside of 2 factors-
1- the seeding location/protected seed and playing closer stuff
2- the historically much bigger first rd upset fodder of the 5 seeds.
That second part is matchup based and I wouldn’t be as worried this year since Marquette would be favored versus the 12, albeit by a much smaller margin than versus the 13.

Fwiw to get a 4 seed I think Marquette needs to win out in the regular season 21-9, 13-6 and maybe even avoid a first game loss in the BET

I would actually love to draw Baylor and don't think Kansas would be that bad.

UK would be a goddamn nightmare. Duke similarly as bad. Purude could be exploited but ideal to avoid prior to weekend 2.

Lunardi, has us as a 7 playing LUC, then Texas Tech. Sign me up.

Here's how it looked on the morning of Feb. 12:

5   Villanova   
17 UConn   
21 Xavier   
24 Marquette   
25 Providence   
34 Seton Hall   
76 Creighton   
84 St. John's
103  DePaul   
132  Butler   
211  Georgetown   

We've dropped 9 spots since then. Only Georgetown has fared worse.

Time to right the ship, gentlemen!

Any idea as to which remaining opponent we are projected to lose to?

I'm hoping that the second Creighton loss also serves as a springboard (as did the first) for a 3-0 run plus at least one BET and one NCAAT win.

There's no "projected" losses, all 3 are "projected" wins with varying confidence %s.  The least likely win is @ DePaul at 62%  Then SJU at 70% and Butler at 86%.

Of course, those are all based on how well the teams have performed over the season as a whole, not just recently.  Butler's offense has been clicking lately, DePaul has been keeping games close, and SJU has been playing much better.  So, they'll just have to play the games and sort it all out

[bradforster]

I will be pleasantly surprised if the team wins all three games.  The recent trend is a concern, at least in my opinion.
