Title: Who to root for X or depaul?
Post by: Mr. Sand-Knit on March 08, 2017, 09:54:52 PM
X loses n removes another bubble team that might steal a bid from us or X loses n makes our wins against them less impressive.

Or x wins n verifies our two wins on them?

X.

MU is a lock. Time to stop worrying about teams stealing our bid. Seriously.

Rot for X why? 7 teams ur saying?
Given ur research how does wakes loss effect them?

Because it's better for the BE. And we beat X twice, and a loss to Depaul hurts their profile. X isn't moving ahead of MU, and a Depaul win does nothing for anybody.

It's not critical, because MU is dancing regardless, but rooting for X makes far more sense than Depaul.

7 in the dance sends a huge message.    Right now, I am rooting for every scenario that gets more Big East teams in.   As long as MU wins.   ;D

Would love to see 7 Big East teams in the S16.

Yeah but 6 of 'em will be too distraught over not winning the BET.

Hahaha, I'm not so sure the committee would allow all 7 BE teams a clear line to the Elite 8 without a couple of us playing each other in the round of 16....

But that would be awesome if we place 7 in the E8!!!  Suck it ACC!!!!

I'm unclear what the variable "n" represents in this situation.

He simplified the equation, the original is: 2an3d=3an4d

They should, though. The only way conference teams should be able to meet before the Elite 8 is with 9+ bids. Keep conference mates apart.
