It's the only justification.

PC's non-con schedule wasn't all that impressive and they didn't beat a single surefire Tournament team. But go on a five game win streak in a horrendously terrible year of college basketball and people take notice, especially when one of the wins came against an illness-afflicted Creighton squad.

It'll be amazing to see a 10-8 PC squad with sweeps of Butler and DePaul along with a split of Hall to make up half of their wins dancing in the NCAAs. Marquette really screwed the pooch this season.

I'd be surprised to see PC get in.  It's one of the reasons why I think 4 teams max from the Big East.

It is tough to see MU, Gtown, and SJU getting invites--given their match-ups with each other and the difficulty of their schedules--unless the less-than-impressive team down the stretch wins the BEast Tourney.
