Ohhh Cincy in trouble as Depaul is up 4 with about 10 to go. Even if Cincy pulls this out, they are not playing like a tourny team.
Still plenty of time left (7 min now), but Cinci looks just awful....
depaul by 5 with 3:49 to play
Depaul by 9 with 2min left.
De Paul by 10 1:50 left.
Cincy = burst bubble. NIT time.
On the bubble: PC
Bubble burst: Cincy, ND, GU.
Looks like at most 8 teams for the Big East.
Yeah, I'd think that would pretty much take them out of the conversation.
I know it wont happen, but aside from us I hope a team like Georgetown or ND or a double digit seed team wins the BE tourney....just one more BE team in the dance....if the Bad 10 gets more in than the BE it will be a joke
wow, thats nuts. congrats to depaul....
Supposedley DePaul did not even book a hotel as they were planning on heading home tonight...they had their bags behind the bench!
I got Depaul in my work BET bracket going all the way to the final facing USF.

I believe everything about this comment...EVERYTHING.
Depaul is a bunch of jokers
Well, at least they don't finish winless in the Big East.
New proposal. Any team that loses to the 16-seed in the Big East Tournament gets relegated to the A-10 and replaced in the Big East with the A-10 Champion. You don't get to play with the big boys anymore.
Take your Premier League rules and go back to England...Except when its Depaul getting booted
Crazy. I read the article about meaningful tournament games for bubble teams on Fox Sports that said DePaul beat Cincy and thought they were playing out wishful scenarios or something. Hopefully UProv can lay the smackdown tomorrow and play well against Louisville to get in.
I don't think its being reported nationally, but after this win today the whole city of Chicago is behind this DePaul team. They've just been biding their time . .

Our women's team would be guilty!!!!!
Congrats to DePaul! Missed the game, but it's pretty impressive for them to come in with the killer instinct.... would have been very easy to just get walked all over and be done with what seems to have been a very bad dream for that team this season.
Heres something for discussion...
Depaul, 0-18 in league play and 8-23 overall beats Cinci in the Big East tournament. Lets say they magically win the BE tourney(not gonna happen), what seed would they deserve? The Play in game? They would be one of the most ridiculous NCAA tourney teams of all time.....
So far, the worst RPI to qualify this year is Chattanooga, with an RPI in the high 170's. Before today's game DePaul's is at 209.
Holly Cow, the Bearcats faithful have got to be pissed.
You would think after the late season swoon and now this They have got to be calling for Cronin's head.
