There's no way Villanova gets a 1 seed after their loss on 2/27.

nice...

As far as BE Conference Bids....its tough...was looking at all the RPI (ESPN's version) by Conf. and counting bid candidates (rpi<70 + decent record and .500 in conference)...with 1 bid minimum per conference.  I came up with 78. So that means to me that many will fall out due to weak SOS (higher RPI).

so its a tough road for BE teams. 4 bids are pretty certain.
V,X,SH are locks...plus Prov (just have to go 2-2 for a 9-9/20-10 and they are in I think even if 0-1 BET).

Creighton and Butler are in trouble:
Butler: in if it can go 2-1 and 1-1 BET.
Creighton: even if they go 2-2 for a 10-8/19-12...their RPI is high. 1-1 BET might not help.

MU could be a serious spoiler:
if we beat CR tonight, they could be toast (with @X coming up)
If we beat Butler in last game of season ... that could end it for them if they had lost to GT or SH.

Of course if MU wins out    ;)

I predict realistically 5 bids...but someone has to step up.

Not a shock, but the energy in Cincinnati is awesome. Villanova up 12-11

Kinda hoping for a nova win. Don't want them playing us with a fire lit underneath their ass.

X is taking Nova completely out of their game.   Going to take a ridiculous comeback.

Fock.

Beating the #1 team at home just doesn't have the luster when it's their second loss of the week.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Villanova clearly looked past Xavier knowing they had to travel to the BC for National Marquette Day.

Louisville came in #2 after a loss to St. Louis in 2003, that had to be the great energy Bradley Center game ever.

I believe that kid Sumner is the one of the most underrated players in Division I.  6ft 6 with that speed at a point guard position is exceptional.

+1,000.  Young man is a total baller.  He can explode to the rim with great elevation, can hit the 3 ball, and can clearly dish the ball.  He had some great passes last night...passes that you rarely see freshman make.

X loses a few roll players, but they'll come in next year as a Top 5 team.  Great youth, balance, and toughness returning.  How is Myles Davis only a junior?!?

As long as everyone returns, they'll be very good. Farr and Abell graduate, neither of which seem irreplaceable. They need to make sure Jalen Reynolds stays, as he would be eligible to leave as a graduate transfer.

He's already 20. He should really test the waters this spring.

He would go undrafted.  It'd be a really bad decision for him to enter the draft.  He's 6'6" and like 170 lbs.  He would constantly by knocked off the ball in the pros and abused from a defensive standpoint.  He also shoots from the hip.  That won't work in the pros.

Hopefully people will be saying that about Haanif in a few years.

That's why I said "test the waters." His age is working against him. Why not go through the process and see what he needs to improve on? With the new rules, he can always come back to school.
