I don't necessarily disagree with Lundari putting us in the First Four Out right now, but St. John's in the field with an 11 seed? For real? Who knew having an ESPN personality as your coach would automatically get this much street cred.
Look, I know a good St. John's team is good for the Big East. But I don't really get all the hype right now.
Also interesting he has 10 Big East teams in right now, and us as one of the first four out. Thats a lot of teams.

St. John's is 2 - 0 in the Big East, with both wins on the road.... I would put them in also.
Also just looked at their schedule, 7 of next 8 games against ranked teams, with 4 against top 10 opponents. I guess we'll find out shortly if they are for real.
SJU also handled what seems to be another bubble team before that, Northwestern. Taking SJU's schedule further, they play what could be 13 NC2A/NIT teams in the next 7 weeks.

Why not just type NCAA instead of NC2A? It will actually save you some time and it's the real initials of the organization. Everybody wins, YEEEAAAAAHH!
If you have to ask why someone would type NC2A on a Marquette board, you need to do some research.
The Johnnies are now 3-0.
