Marquette's NCAA Tournament Profile

[YoungMUFan4]

MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES 08-09
RECORD: 20-4 (9-2)
RPI: 22
SOS: 79
VS. 1-50: 4-3
VS. 51-100: 4-0
GOOD WINS: Villanova (11), West Virginia (16), Wisconsin (30), Georgetown (36), Cincinnati (51), @Notre Dame (64), @ Providence (68), (N) Northern Iowa (77), North Carolina State (101)
BAD LOSSES: @USF (RPI: 144)


Despite the "bad loss" to USF we are sitting pretty darn well right now with an 8-3 mark against the RPI top-100.  Last year we finished 7-9 against the RPI top-100 including 4-8 against the top 50.  We will have 6 more chances against the RPI top 100 so we will continue to be able to rack up some quality wins.  Looking at our weaknesses, obviously the USF loss is one, lack of a "quality (rpi top 50)" road win is another, and the third will fix itself, the SOS.

If we win the next two, we should be looking at a top 5 NCAA seed baring an 0-5 finish.

Again here is what our final profile looked like last year:

BAD LOSSES: NONE

Nice compilation/summary there...are you sure, though we didn't have any "bad losses" last year?  I feel like we at least had one.
