I'll bet Wojo doesn't let the guys know what happened in earlier games.  Nothing matters but what happens at Hinkle.  Take care of business and all is possible.

Agree.

Villanova up big at half and Providence comfortably in lead versus Johnnies.

Ohio State loses. Vanderbilt loses. Two more bubble teams fail to get good wins.

LSU, Stanford, Alabama, South Carolina, Oregon State, Michigan, Syracuse all left to play among bubble teams.

Are we still talking about the NCAA?

Looks like Prov is gonna take down SJU.

Prov it is in the 4/5 game if we win today, assuming X takes care of business against Creighton.

SHU takes down DePaul.

Yep. For a few more hours anyways. If we lose today (which I consider likely) it will be done.

Even when we have almost 0% chance of an at large bid, I still enjoy keeping track of the bubble.

Creighton Xavier on national Fox

Seton Hall with solid win over DePaul . I think they have locked up their spot in the tournament.

Everyone should turn on the Creighton v. Xavier game right now.  Craziness.

Good game on the Fox National Broadcast. Hopefully it helps Creighton.

I think the conference lines up exactly correctly.  The 5 best teams are in the top 5 slots and will all dance.  I'm not worried that the loser of the Providence/Butler game will be left out.  Both properly took care of business this week.  I think the only chance for that is if some other team (like MU) were to make a run and steal the title.  And I put those chances at 5%.

There's also a clear NIT tier that includes both Creighton and MU.  In some ways, it doesn't hurt that MU gets to play on Wednesday relative to Creighton assuming that we win. Assuming a loss to Xavier the next night we'd be 20-13.  I personally think Seton Hall will defeat Creighton leaving them at 18-14.  That might be right on the edge.  Georgetown?  Forget it.  Going home immediately after NYC.

This weeks rankings
3. Villanova
5. Xavier
Seton Hall ,Providence and Butler getting additional votes.

I think the 5 are pretty solid for the tournament. Having the top 2 teams get very high seeds will help everyone. Means they will most likely at least get one win which means more unit money for the league.  Need some deep tourney runs to get those units.

I have no idea how much the NIT pays participants. If MU and Creighton do well there maybe a few more bucks come everyones way.

Georgetown?  Forget it.  Going home immediately after NYC.

The only way Georgetown can finish with a winning record is if they win their first round NCAA Tournament game. Which means winning 4 at MSG first and pulling another day one upset. Not happening. To think, they were 6-2 in league play with wins over Xavier and Creighton about 5 weeks ago.

There was a thread on this a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it.

NIT does pay out but it is peanuts compared to the NCAA. IIRC, a deep NIT run might get the conference close to what one NCAA game does.
