Cincy/USF

What do we need for the 3 seed? Based on only needing those two scenarios for a 2 seed, I'm guessing not much.

Glad USF won, but what was worse, USF's zone offense or Bob Wenzel?

If Georgetown wins Monday and we beat Cincinnati we lock up 2 seed in big east tourney no matter what happens in our last game

Here are the scenarios now:

• If Marquette wins both games, they get the 2-seed no matter what
• If Marquette wins one game, they are guaranteed the 3-seed, and get the 2-seed with any ND loss
• If Notre Dame beats Georgetown tomorrow, Marquette can finish no worse than the 3-seed; if GT wins, Marquette clinches the 2-seed with any win
• If Marquette loses both games, they still get the 3-seed if ND beats GT tomorrow.

3 and 4 seeds play at night .. plus don't see Syracuse till the final. 

Just sayin.

AWESOME!  I landed and saw the FOUL with one second left and was in disbelief.  Had now idea they had fouls to give, so was pretty relieved when I saw the game over.

Top 4 seed is all I wanted - sure No. 2 looks nice, but they guys have no chance for a bad loss, and will be rested for the NCAAs no matter how far we go.

Still think beating Syracuse on a third straight game of playing is a long shot with our style of play, but if we get a shot, it would be awesome.

As I read the bracket, 2 or 3 is the "happy zone."

2 seed gets to play at 7 p.m. ET on Thu 3/8. Win that and play the  second semifinal (9 p.m. sked but more like 9:45 p.m.) on Fri 3/9, most likely against the 3 seed.

Thus, 2 or 3 wouldn't play Syracuse til final - if Cuse makes it, that is.
