With 4 minutes remaining, they're down by 19.

If Cuse loses, has their bubble popped?

I don't think there is any doubt about Syracuse. Better question may be if Villanova has done enough?

assuming 'nova loses to g'town, i would be very nervous on sunday if i were a wildcat fan.

I say the Cuse is out....with USD beating the Zags, South Alabama falling in the Sun Belt, and VCU falling in the Colonial - - the at-large bids are evaporating. 

Nova is in now IMHO thanks to wins over UConn, Cuse (2 of 3 this year), West Virginia, and George Mason.  After today, they're 5-6 vs the RPI top 50 and could creep into the top 50 themselves.  Cuse BTW is 2-8 vs the RPI top 50 but has a boffo SOS of 7.  tough call

If Nova loses to Georgetown this time around... how many times will they show the last time these two teams played... that win could have been the difference between them being in and out.

holy smokes, 26 to 0?  Idon't know if i've ever seen a sweep on this site.

I'm thinking of two reasons:

1) It was an bonehead of a question to ask.

or

2) MU fans are the smartest fanatics out there.

I think it's #2. ;)

The Cuse is now 19-13.  While they may have had a tough schedule, its wasn't so difficult to allow for such a poor record, particularly since they didn't play any team currently ranked in the top 10 (Georgetown is ranked #11).  At some point, they needed to win some games and put a streak together.
