Bubble Watch

[statnik]

What really makes this bubble business difficult to reconcile is winning one less game than last year when we didn't even make the NIT field and feeling like a lock.  It shows the strength of the Big East this year but our non conference schedule this year was almost as bad as last year's, thank goodness for teams like Vanderbilt and Michigan being NCAA worthy.

No it wasn't. Not even close.

CBS said 5 between us and play in?

Five between us and the bubble, which means that we have at least two teams leeway between us and Dayton.

Where are all the posters saying MU isn't an NCAA team gonna be when we get an 8 or a 9 seed?

Personally hoping for a 10 or 11 (no Dayton), but a good chunk of this board should be eating some major crow in a few hours. But they won't be (a few in particular).

Hopefully not talking me.

But you really think that high? I hope not though. 8/9 wouldn't be fun

So what exactly would you be happy with?

No I'm not talking about you.

I think a 9 is possible. 10 most likely.

Total wins no matta.  That is why Illinois St is squarely on the bubble behind teams with far fewer wins.

Understand the process and it will become clear.

10/11 should be a pretty obvious guess.

8/9 craps on Dayton tho

[Hards Alumni]

You guys are high if you think we have a shot at 9 or higher.

[CAGASS24]

Yes be happy regardless but Dayton would blow D and personally I don't think we should be there - clearly should be higher than last couple at Large's

[forgetful]

You guys are high if you think we have a shot at 9 or higher.

It depends on how much they weight top 50 wins.  If they weight it very highly like they said they are going to we are a 9 seed.  If they do not we are a 10-11.

SMU Cincy might not even be over by 430 CST

[fjm]

We won't be in Dayton.

Sand knit you should be hoping we are in Dayton or NIT since you said yourself these seniors don't deserve to be in the tourney.

CNN/Bleacher Report has MU as a 12 and fifth to last...which if URI wins, puts us in Dayton. I think they are off...like Vandy and Xavier ahead of us...but, just saying.

But we can't be a 12 unless we're in the play in game right? This one makes no sense.

Unless they put some additional conference champions onto the 11 seed line.

[forgetful]

Officials swallowing their whistles in the VCU game.  VCU fouled several times and no calls.  Still fighting though.

[nyg]

Looks like RI win.

This should be a fun three hours........

[PGsHeroes32]

VCU sucks

I predict zero chance at a 9.  20% at a 10.  50% at 11.  30% at 12

[Ardmore Mug]

Interesting that Lunardi has MU #11  vs St Mary's #6 in Sacramento  in the Midwest   AND  #6 UW vs #11  Xavier in Sacramento  South Bracket..

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Mu may miss the whole thing

[nyg]

Mu may miss the whole thing

Thats not gonna happen.
