Bubble Watch

[Windyplayer]

We are going to need to win the Big East tournament to make the NCAA.  The rest of our schedule is brutal.

I read this as written in jest.

[Herman Cain]

Marquette is 5th in the BE right now.

3 games against teams 7,8, & 9 in the BE = not brutal

3 games against teams 2 & 4 in the BE both without their starting PG = winnable.

I mean, sure MU could lose all 6.  Fairly likely they go 3-3.  But I wouldn't be surprised if they win more than 3.    The BE overall is brutal, but for MU this is a favorable schedule.

This is definitely the silver lining.

They should be on other side of bubble tonight.

- Seton Hall free throw debacle game loss
- Up 18 at Butler loss
- 3-6 Providence at home loss
- Butler at home, without Martin playing loss

Those games so far were just killers, very frustrating losses and they may have to win 5 out of 6, which also would be a miracle.

Also beat SH and nova in toss up games. It would have been nice to win one of the four above to even things out.

I feel like you have no idea how bad this bubble is

I think LOTS of people don't know how bad the bubble is.

We would dominate SMU

[KampusFoods]

We would dominate SMU

Hrmmm nope. This is not a team capable of domination.

[GoldenDieners32]

We would beat smu my bad

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Hrmmm nope. This is not a team capable of domination.

No it is. We dominated Vandy at the beginning of the year. We dominated Depaul at home. Even though we only won by 8 I feel like we dominated Creighton until we took our feet off the gas at the end. This team has a very high ceiling.

That being said, I'd doubt we'd beat, much less dominate SMU. I think they are a bad matchup for us.

We can only dominate if we rain threes and the other side becomes despondent leading to (complete) abandonment of offensive game plan.

I guess I meant NCAA tournament domination. Can't qualify giving up 94 as domination, regardless of the amazing offense that day in Omaha.

And you're right. Terrible matchup vs. SMU.

Wee may haveta win the NCAA Tourney just ta get inta the tournament, ai na?

We'll be good Froling will give us all their secrets

[cheebs09]

Hoosiers miss a chance to beat Purdue. Every little bit helps.

[GoldenDieners32]

I think we all are just really desperate for for MU to make the tourney, i know i am. Will this be the season we make it?

[SaveOD238]

Guys...Bracket Matrix still has Clemson in.  Clemson is 13-10 and 3-8 in ACC.  Their best win is @South Carolina and nothing else comes close.  They have a six game losing streak.

We're fine unless we totally screw everything up.

Bleacher Report has us in as a 10 playing VT. Also Joe Lunardi should be coming out with a new updated bracket tomorrow

Yeah... stuff like this makes me happy...
But Clemson will probably drop out and be replaced by Cuse this week sometime.

We need to stop fuggin puking all over ourselves.
I have faith. But I'm getting tense.

[MUDPT]

Dayton @ Rhode Island tonight.

[PGsHeroes32]

We would dominate SMU

Smu is an awful match up for us.

Length, shoot the 3 excellent and they play great defense.

No thanks

[BM1090]

11 seed in Palm's (CBS) update today. Safe of the last 4 in, barely.

[BM1090]

11 seed (6th last team in) in Lunardi's update today. First round vs. 6 seed St. Mary's....in Milwaukee. Good job, Joe.

Those creighton and nova wins are keeping us alive.
This bubble is insane!
I really think 9-9 without a BET winner gets us in the first four games atleast.

[muguru]

Hey..IF MU is fortunate enough to get in..i'd gladly take a 10,11 or 12 seed over an 8 or 9.
