EDIT -- Big East Tournament - Through 2/3/11

[MUBasketball]

Hey guys, here is the revised bracket. I completely forgot about the first MU/UConn game, which makes UConn the #9 and MU the #11.
Well...for some reason the image code still shows the old bracket, but regardless...just swap UConn to #9 and MU to #11, and thats the accurate bracket.
Movement since last bracket (Sunday):
West Virginia (+4)
Cincinnati (+4)
Georgetown (-2)
Villanova (-3)
Marquette (-3)

Would playing DePaul in the first round warm us up, or just make us sloppy for the next game?

[MUfan12]

Of the 5-8 teams, Georgetown is the one I'd want.

That draw wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

[77ncaachamps]

I'd definitely take that draw.

DePaul is no pushover but can be had.
Georgetown is RIPE for the picking.
Pitt has shown its fallibility of late. A win would more than lock MU's chances but a loss wouldn't necessarily hurt either.

[Masterr73]

If we beat hall and west virginia losses to louisville and nova losses at pitt we are the 8. Am I right?

I think in this scenario, Marquette would be the No. 11 seed. UConn split with MU and beat Villanova, so it has a 2-1 record in the "mini-conference" of Villanova, UConn and MU. Villanova is 1-1 and MU is 1-2.

But in order to finish 11th, MU would almost certainly have to lose to Seton Hall. If that's the case, then it probably could use a couple of wins in the BET to breathe a little bit easier on Selection Sunday. If the other seeds hold, this would be a decent scenario for MU to pick up 2-3 wins over Providence, West Virginia and Louisville.

I'd prefer MU get the 9 seed. Pick up a freebie against DePaul then get a team like Cincinnati/Georgetown/WVU/UConn in the next round.

Crap...your right. It was late, forgot about the first UConn game! Damn. Let me correct this.

[TallTitan34]

I'd be very happy with Providence / West Virginia.

[BrewCity83]

I'd be happy with the 9 pm start times, too.

[brewcity77]

I'd be very happy with Providence / West Virginia.

If we got 2 wins first, I also wouldn't mind another crack at Louisville to try to make up for the collapse. Though knowing us, and knowing them, they'd find a way to break our heart in the final seconds.
