I think the Big East gets 4

Four is an immortal lock now. 

Is this a lock that will never die?

George Washington? 

Yes. Sorry. That's FIVE for the A10. That's a damn impressive number.

A-10 getting five teams is good but NBE 4 of 10 is better than A10 getting 5 of 13.

Dayton is in. A-10 gets 6 bids

The bad Creighton fans some people may have ran into were probably the ones that took a bus from Omaha to Milwaukee the day of the game and drank the entire way there. Probably just drunk out of their minds.

That is a really sh1tty day

How ironic!! Many fans here sneered at allowing Dayton into the BEast, because the new conference was so much better than the Dayton bottom feeders. They are likely in, and we are 17-15. Oh the irony!

Anybody can look at some of the past postings.

There are a lot of bad Marquette fans on this site, who do nothing but trash our players when we lose.

Obviously losing one of the best all time players in college will hurt them the next couple of years.  Yet, as I watched them against Xavier - they are REALLY well coached.  In my view, they'll be a lot like Wisconsin under Bo - won't have a roster full of 4 stars - but McDermott has a very distinct system and will recruit players that fit system well.  Watching them play, they are REALLY hard to defend - and play solid team defense.

I agree with McDermott being a good coach but 80% of their roster is seniors this year and there is no guarantee that he's even there after this season.  With his son graduating and a lot of turnover on the roster, there is no reason he doesn't take his ball to a higher profile job.  Not saying it will happen, but it's a real possibility.

Creighton will likely be fine either way but I think it's at least a year if not two before they are back to where they are now....same thing happened to Nova.

I agree I think this is going to happen, but I can find at least 5 teams that should be in before Dayton.  They wouldn't even be in my first 4 out.

4/10 = 40%
5/13 = 38.5%
6/13 = 46%

I have a hard time seeing A10 get 6. But I can't say enough how impressed I am with the A10 this year. I hope it also silences anyone who objects to SLU or Dayton joining the NBE. Right now I'd take either of those programs over a Butler not led by Brad Stevens.

Someone is likely going to have to play Dayton on their home court on Tuesday. Given proximity and wher they stack up, its a pretty safe bet Xavier will be playing Tuesday  as well. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see them matched up.

At least they got to enjoy their night at BMO a lot more than our fans did!
