Scholarship table
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
Gosh and I though it was the Croatians.
If we run the table and 2 BET , we are in for sure. That will be a good body of work. Big East is recognized as one of the top conferences.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
If we run the table we will already have done enough for the tournament and won't need to win any in the BET.If we go 4-1 we might have done enough but would like to win the first game just to be safe.If we go 3-2 we likely need to get to the BET championship....and even that may not be enough.We are certainly still alive but based on what we've seen since the second half started I'm finding it difficult to believe that we can get it done. I think we end up finishing 3-2 and make the NIT.
1) So the question is can we get to the Dance? 2) Answer: Yes but forget X, V and B they are in.3) What needs to be done. a) Run the table or at least win 4 of 5. We end up 10-8 or 9-9 and end in fourth to sixth place . b) SH looses to X, SJ, V and B. They end up with 8-10. This assumes SH beats P. c) Providence looses to the same V, B, X and SJ. They end up 9-9. If they loose to SH then P is 8-10 and SH is 9-9. D) We beat Creighton twice and V and B beat C once each then C finishes 9-9. If we loose one to C they are 10-8 and in and we are on the edge.I think it is very likely that SH and P will either finish 9-9 or 8-10. How C finishes depends us.The key is can MU win 4-5 of the next games against SJ (1 game), D (1g), G (1g) and C(2g). That is the real issue. Whether we make it to the Dance is largely up to us. So you say this is not going to happen? Sure that is easy to say but if MU pulls it off what a come back.
C'mon man. We are firmly ensconced in 7th place. Mediocrity. 5-0 is not happening, and even if it did, probably would not get us in, unless we won at least 2 more in BEAST tourney. But keep drinking the Wojo wine.
Something has changed in this team since the Nova game..After that, it has all gone in the tank..It's like that was their Super Bowl, and they just kind of "punted" after that. That being said, as un optimistic as I am, let's remember, Providence was about in the same spot last year as MU is now, and PC ran of 6 straight to get in..barely, but they got in. The key will be the Creighton game next weekend.
Not just Providence last season but us too! We had to win our last four in order to get a 10 seed. 3-1 would have put us in Dayton or possibly out. Similar to where we are now. Got it done last season, I'm hoping we can this season.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
4-1 will be enough. I think 9-9 should get us the 6 seed which would avoid playing either SJU at the Garden or DePaul in a possible bad loss in the first round of BET. I think you have to win @Creighton on Saturday. Theoretically not a must win, but it’s the toughest on the schedule and this teams needs some good fortune. Not as excuse, but this team was very ill this week. Sam, Markus and Sacar all under the weather, and obviously Theo too. It certainly showed yesterday - but Man, Ponds is good.
You think we need 5-0 and TWO games in BET??? You are out of your mind!
