Bubble Watch

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

So.... Butler will be ahead of Villanova?  Not sure about the credibility of that particular metric.  Depends on the tourney, but right now most "experts" had us ahead of Providence, and they swept us.   

Slightly different scenario...look, all I was saying is that I think MUs resume is better than all those teams listed, except for maybe PC. I like our resume more than theirs, but they did in fact sweep us, so it's not very difficult to see them being about us on the S curve.

The rest have very little case to be ahead of MU.

Starting to get a little worried probably will be on the bubble going into sunday

We are ok. Xavier helped us tonight.  There will be some surprises along the way but I think for now we are eking our way in.  Creighton is doing a good job tonight hopefully they keep it up. McDermott is showing he is a very good coach.

Baylor is a really, really bad top 10 team.

Said it all year.

And it hurts us tonight

Haha ok.

if UVA losses tonight they would be a tough 6 or 7 seed

We need this Creighton win over Providence

Man, Baylor played great defense for 29 seconds and Kansas State just puts in a circus shot to stop the Baylor run. K State up 5, 1 minute, Wildcat ball.

They are really not a very good team.  Any team that struggles to score 60 doesn't scare me at all.  Even when we play our worst offensive games we can score 65 in our sleep.

Not real happy about his. Were is K State in pecking order?

Well behind us. Even with this win. If they win against West Virigina tomorrow they might get past us.

[SaveOD238]

So we're big West Virginia fans tomorrow then?  And Iowa State?

[Herman Cain]

Well behind us. Even with this win. If they win against West Virigina tomorrow they might get past us.

Seems like they have some quality wins on their resume so maybe the jump the likes of Illinois State at least tonight. Huggy Bear better get his act together tomorrow.

Starting to look really dire for Marquette so sad all the blown leads this year, on the other hand this senior class does not deserve a tourney in their careers

You're a Grade A Jack-Wagon.
These 22 year olds don't deserve this in their careers?

Sure maybe some games they didn't deserve to win. But why be such a sad person all the time? Why can't Luke and jjj make the tourney? Because some lonely dude on a MU site that likes sand says so?

You aren't very intelligent.

[Anti-Dentite]

All the BET is showing is that the six teams behind Nova are going to beat each other up and that they are all tournament worthy....7 it shall be.

Luke, JJJ, Duane and Reinhardt are giving it everything they have. They definitely deserve it and they have been playing like they want it. The team did not give up until the last second ticked off today.

I went back and read your first 15 to 20 posts.  Revealing.  Good bye.

Whoa. For the first time ever MUFNY I agree with you.... weird! Nice.

Creighton up 9 with 1:30 left. Keep it up you stupid blue air animals.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton had the look of a final four type team prior to the Maurice Watson imbroglio. Tonight they showed they could win a very classic Big East hard fought game.

I guess they will be playing Xavier next. Not sure who we are rooting for in that game. I think I will wait until I see a few brackets post today. My instinct is still Creighton.

Not really.

Assuming Creighton can hold an 11 point lead with 1:36 left, than Marquette will likely finish with 7 or 8 teams between them and the bubble.

Of those 7-8, 3 are "sitting ducks" (Providence, Wake, Cuse) meaning they have already lost and will drop out before Marquette does. 1 (USC) will also become a sitting duck if UCLA takes care of business.

Of the remaining 4-5, 1 (MTSU) can't pass Marquette because they'll either be an auto-bid or in Dayton.

3 of the First Four Out (Illinois State, Iowa, and Illinois) are all sitting ducks. They can't pass Marquette.

Its still going to take 3-4 bid thieves for Marquette to be left out. And there's really only 6 conferences that could steal a bid from Marquette at this point.
