The red flashing light? Its the not gonna make the tournament warning light, and it's just gone into overdrive
Not even sure where to start with this post, it was not good before now with a loss to DePaul it is likely over. So we are going to talk about what went wrong in Chicago and what was Wojo thinking. After we go through all the woulda, coulda, shouldas, we turn to the impact this loss has on a potential NCAA bid. We then talk about the next week and whether or not Marquette can win both games to even give them a shot at a tournament bid. We then talk about our favorite memories from the BC since this will be the last regular season game before moving to the new arena. Lastly we spend some time talking about the reports this week regarding bag dropping and cheating by various programs from the vantage point of Marquette. It was not great, but still....Enjoy!

I think the only way we get in now is to win the two games next week and then win 2 games in the Tourney, likely against DePaul/SJU and then Xavier.
And even that might not be enough. Super long shot that this team can put together a 4-game win streak against this type of competition. I am more worried that this team loses 3 in a row than I am hopeful that they can win 4 in a row.

Highly unlikely. Have we even won 3 conference games in a row this season? 4 is a real stretch.

This season?? It has never been done in Wojo's tenure...just think about that...4 years, and have never won 3 BE games in a row.

Ouch! Didn't know that. Plus it looks like even if we win out in the regular season, we are on tap to play St. John's in the Wed. game at the Garden, where our record is not praiseworthy.
Nice pod guys as always. Tone pretty reflective of the sentiment here.

Well actually, 6th is attainable...but MU has to win both, and Seton Hall has to lose both to Nova and Butler(very possible). Hall will do their part, but sadly, I don't think MU will do theirs.

I'll admit, 6th scares me just because it's most likely Butler we see in the 3-seed. That team just has our number.

Why are we even dreaming of 6th? We should be competing for titles!!!!!!!
