C7 + 3 in the 2013 Postseason

[MUFlutieEffect]

Currently sitting at 5-0, but likely to make it 6-1 by night's end (I'll assume the Hoyas win, but it appears Nova is goin' down).  Of course, regardless of tomorrow's outcome, we'll see one win and one loss with Marquette taking on Butler tomorrow evening.

NCAA: 3-0
Marquette: 1-0 (Marquette 59, Davidson 58)
Butler: 1-0 (Butler 68, Bucknell 56)
Creighton: 1-0 (Creighton 67, Cincinnati 63)
Georgetown: In-progress v. FGCU
Villanova: In-progress v. UNC

NIT: 2-0
St. John's: 1-0 (St. John's 63, St. Joseph's 61)
Providence: 1-0 (Providence 75, Charlotte 66)

No Postseason

Yeahhhhhh .. about Georgetown...

[nathanziarek]

Yeahhhhhh .. about Georgetown...

What? They got it down to 15.

[Blackhat]

Weird seeing Xavier sitting out a tournament.   Hopefully Chris Mack isn't tanking that program.


Georgetown again underachieving as it stands currently.

How did Xavier not get invited to the NIT?  Or the CIT?  Kenpom has them at 77.

Ah, answers:

Do most teams even play their starters in the NIT?

[Litehouse]

Why would X turn down the CBI?

[LastWarrior]

Why would X turn down the CBI?

I don't know but if you don't make the NCAA or NIT, how bad are you and do you really want to admit being in the CBI? 

[Litehouse]

Texas, Purdue and Richmond accepted invites. Does Xavier think they're too good to play with Texas?  Get the kids some more experience and build toward next year.

Agreed - seems as though X is feeling a sense of superiority.  On the other hand, how furious would MU fans be if Marquette won the CBI and wanted to hang a banner for it?

[mu_hilltopper]

.. how furious would MU fans be if Marquette won the CBI and wanted to hang a banner for it?

They would be 3% furious.  The other 97% who aren't internet nerds would be fine with it.

[keefe]

The guy who would have done that was fired in 2008. Fired for cause, I might add.

[Litehouse]

So, if we win the conference tournament next year, does it get it's own banner? or do we just add another year to the existing National Catholic Tournament banner?

[Mr. Nielsen]

Why would X turn down the CBI?

The CBI is a pay to play tourney. If you get a home game you better get 3,000 in attendance just to break even on the cost.

[Villacats]

UNC was a terrible matchup for Nova. Would have rather played any other 3-8 seed in the field last night except maybe VCU. Cats have got a lot of fight in them though, I liked that. Looking forward to next year. Good luck tonight.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I was very happy how Nova showed alot fight to come back and take the lead. It was very ugly for them. I think it was 32-13 UNC at one point.

And then there were two (only Marquette and Providence are left playing)...

So, assuming no more wins for the rest of the conference this year, what's the NCAA and NIT credit situation going into the new league? How much do we collectively bring together, including past credits and credits earned this year?

So, assuming no more wins for the rest of the conference this year, what's the NCAA and NIT credit situation going into the new league? How much do we collectively bring together, including past credits and credits earned this year?

I was wondering the same thing.  Should I be rooting for Cuse because we get more money?  Or did we forego all of that for the BE name?

[Coleman]

I believe we don't get Cuse or L'ville's money. Its just the C7 that goes with us, along with Creighton and Xavier's credits. Its my understanding Butler's credits stay with the A-10.

[Litehouse]

I'm pretty sure we don't get Xavier or Creighton's credits either.  The credits stay with the conference.

[Coleman]

Dang. I know generally that's how it works but I thought I remembered reading that Creighton and X had special arrangements with the MVC and A-10 respectively (I thought Xavier in particular kept all NCAA credits earned, it was not shared amongst the conference). Maybe that was just exit fees though.

[Litehouse]

Each conference can distribute the credits however they want.  I believe the A10 had an arrangement where they would distibute half the money from any credits to the team that earned them first, then the other half got split with everyon else.  But it's still up to the conference to distribute it, and I seriously doubt they'll give any to a school after they leave.  Just like how we left behind the credits for our 2003 run with C-USA.

[chapman]

Believe the A-10 rule, or X's situation specifically was that they keep most or all of their own credits - but it was conditional on still being a member of the conference.  

The UL, Cuse, exit fees and credits are with the football schools.  Our cash takeaway in the split was a lump sum of $10M, so the reward of the additional credits earned, and the risk that goes along with any issues they might have collecting the exit fee money, etc. are all on them.
