USF Beats Cincy in Tampa

Good to see USF hold their ground.  On the other hand, I wouldn't have minded a win in cincy look even more like a quality win on the road.

...maybe dominique decided to start his 4 game win streak

Getting Cincy further off the bubble is more important than a couple of extra brownie points after we beat Cincy on Sunday.

Cincinnati has the rest of the week to prepare for us.

Looked an awful lot like two NIT teams to me.

The Big East is starting to form a clearer seperation between top and bottom.  There is now two losses seperating us and Louisville from the rest of the league.  That's a great thing for bubble purposes.  USF has a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way and could finish 10-8, but I can't see any of the other lower teams crawling back into NCAA discussion, unless UConn can go 4-1 down the stretch, and their schedule is brutal.

I agree...it is looking an awful lot like ND, UC, and USF are gonna be toast. I also think UConn may still have a shot, if they play well down the stretch and get enough wins (I think they could run the table), they will have a strong case that Calhoun's return makes them a better team and worthy of making the tournament.

For MU,, I still contend it is just about getting 4 more wins.

I think you and me have been spouting the same mantra for the past few weeks.  After we beat UCONN, I said that we needed to go 7-2 to be a lock.  3 wins later, it's still looking like 4 more wins, any wins, would lock it up.

I think if USF can go 4-1, they have a shot.  I think if Uconn can get to 9-9, or even 8-10, they would have a shot because of their SOS and who they beat.  Seton Hall needs to go 5-1, and their schedule is managable, but I don't see it. 

I think it will be the current top 7, plus the winner of the Uconn @ USF game, which is each teams final game of the regular season.
