Six, Seven, and Eight

Did MU ever have to play three top 10 teams in a row in the old BE?

The games aren't in a row now but there's a couple close instances like in 2010 we played #6 WVU, #8 Nova, #12 GTown, #6 Nova. Reliving that stretch of three buzzer beating losses physically hurts. There's also a couple stretches in 2011 where  we played 3/4 top ten teams.

Edit: in 08-09 we played #2 Uconn, #6 Louisville, #3 Pitt in a row.

There is a good chance, definitely top 20, but we aren't now, as the decidely not top 10 St. John's was mixed in there.

He must have meant Nova, Xavier and Depaul

Off topic, but incidentally, this is the only year I can remember where the selection committee publicly acknowledged a team's close losses as having a material (positive) effect on their consideration.

Back on topic...

Cool. Trolling your team's message board...

Seems like time well spent.

I'm not trolling the entire message board, I'm simply trolling a single thread. And technically, it's not even this thread that's being trolled.
