Remaining schedules

[Silkk the Shaka]

Just a few additional numbers from Pomeroy to handicap the odds .

Syracuse (75% chance of getting 13 wins; 45% chance of getting 14+ wins)
Louisville (85% chance of getting 13 wins; 35% chance of getting 14)
Marquette (60% chance of getting 13 wins; 25% chance of getting 14+)
Georgetown (52% chance of getting 13 wins; 17% chance of getting 14+)
Notre Dame (1% chance of getting 13 wins)

Obviously, any game involving two of these five teams will have a dramatic impact.

Odds stacked in our favor for a double bye and a decent shot at co-champs or better with the ability to control our own destiny - I'll take that on Feb. 19th every year!

No worse than 13-5.  That schedule is just too favorable and this team tends to win the games it's supposed to (avert eyes from Green bay game...).  14-4 wins the Big East outright, IMO.  Highly manageable.  Only concern is Louisville winning out, but I think they fall @Cuse.

[MUMountin]

Cuse (9-3): Providence, Gtown, @Marquette, Lville, DePaul, @Gtown.
Gtown (9-3): DePaul, @Cuse, @UConn, Rutgers, @Nova, Cuse
MU(9-3): @Seton Hall, @Nova, Cuse, Notre Dame, @Rutgers, @SJU
Louisville (9-4): Seton Hall, @DePaul, @Cuse, Cincy, Notre Dame
Notre Dame (9-5): Cincy, @MU, SJU, Louisville
UConn (7-5): Cincy, @DePaul, Gtown, @Cincy, @USF, Providence
PITT (8-6):@SJU, USF, Nova, @DePaul
Nova (8-6): MU, @Seton Hall, @PITT, Gtown
SJU (7-6): USF, PITT, @Providence, @Notre Dame, MU
Cincy (7-6): @UConn, @Notre Dame, UConn, @Louisville, USF
Providence (6-7): @Cuse, @Rutgers, SJU, SHU, @UConn


Updated the list, and added Providence, who has enjoyed playing the role of spoiler the last few weeks. 

TCOB tonight, and hopefully hold off a hungry 'Nova team on the road on Saturday.  Sets up a huge game on Monday against the Orange.

Cuse still has Gtown twice and Louisville. hard to imagine they don't pick up at least 1 loss there. Gtown conversely has Cuse twice and UConn once, and at Nova.

While our schedule is tough, I think its the easiest road of the 9-3 teams. Lousville has it slightly easier but we have one less loss.

We are in as good a position as anybody to win this thing.

What makes fun for me this year is anything can happen. Good teams falling to lesser teams and doing so on regular basis. Seems like every night someone is going down. Truthfully have no idea where this all shakes out.

I hate playing this "no" win games

This game tonight can only hurt us.  Compound that with our road struggles and I am pretty nervous about tonight

Given the way this season is going, a conference road win is big, no matter who it comes against.  We've done a good job so far (in conference at least) of taking care of business and winning the games we should.  I felt the same way as you did before the @USF game, and hoping that the team will show a similar urgency tonight.  If they do, while no one will be saying this is a "great" win, it will bolster our case of being one of the most consistent teams in conference play--a pretty big honor this season.

And that makes me nervous over the final six. We haven't had that "shock" moment as some other schools have. Maybe we haven't been in some losses, Louisville, or just played poorly enough to keep us from making it back or all the way back, Georgetown and Cincy, but there is no shock in any of those losses.

Hopefully we do not overlook either of these road games leading into big Monday.

I don't think losing at Villanova would constitute a "shock" loss.  That game is a pick 'em as far as I'm concerned.  Tonight is one of those games I hate.  We need to win, we should win, but this is by no means a guaranteed W.

Didn't mean to make it sound like Villanova would be a bad loss. But I think it is a road game we can win as long as we are not looking ahead. Not sure if playing that game at the Wells Fargo Center helps or hurts, was hoping to make it this year but things didn't work out because trying to get tickets when they play on campus is difficult.

Hopefully our one loss that falls into that category happened awhile ago with UWGB, but you never know, the last team to beat Georgetown was USF.
