Lunardi has us up to a 10 seed, not one of the "last four in."

[KipsBayEagle]

That defies all forms of logic

So the BE at least gets 10 teams in?  Interesting.

So if we win, we can play UConn again in the second round for possibly the fourth time this season.  Joe needs to look more closely.  Are we really going to screwed again with ND?  We aggregated them by 17, but we are SIX seeds below them.  Just like '08.

I remembered something this weekend as I was rooting for us to be able to keep this one close.

Last year I kept saying that 'moral victories' would keep us in the race for a tourney slot.  I think because I now expect them to win more than they have in those loses I forgot that these losses were still moral victories in the eyes of the media.  Last year I kept saying that they count as 1/3 of a win.

I'm now feeling way better about our chances.

Still think it's pretty tough if we don't take 2 out of the next 3.

Since ND now has a great road win vs Pitt, they would deserve to be six seeds ahead of MU.

Agree with everything except the last sentence. If we win two of the next three (a very tall order) I'll be more concerned with our seed than if we're getting in.

Agreed. We take 2 of the next 3, and you can start to think about a bye in the BET.

Hard to argue with Lunardi...

ND just punched their ticket with victory at Pitt.
We will be attempting for the rest of the year to get in line to punch our ticket!

That's what i said.  If we win 2 of 3 then we are in.  We win 1 and we have to go 5-3 over the last 8. (assuming we don't get a win in the bet). We win 0 and it will take an epic run.  I think we'll make it but we need some quality wins.

10-8 only gets us in if there's a very soft bubble. Though with how weak the other conferences are, it's becoming more and more possible. We really should be able to finish 6-2. Even if we do take a bad loss, we could beat G'Town on the road. Though with this team, it's simply tough to tell. Just when you think they're going to get the surprise win, they drop it. And when our optimism is completely sapped away, they win one you don't expect. Curious team, to be sure.

Really?  He still has Butler as an at-large and they have three losses in the Horizon league (2 of those at home)

[BM1090]

Look at the teams below, and tell me if any of them deserve to get in before MU. I don't see any
