9-9?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Is this with 2 in the BEAST

No. I do think if MU ends up with the 7 seed at 9-9 they need to win that first game. If they beat DePaul/SJU And then lose to Villanova, I think they would have a pretty decent shot at Dayton. Beat Villanova as well and they are for sure in.

Get the 6 seed and lose to whoever the three seed ends up being, I think they have a good shot at Dayton. Win that game and they're for sure in.

Probably a tall task To accomplish any of those scenarios, But it is still theoretically possible.

You say you know how you voted. We all absolutely know what you posted. Whether we paralleled last year or took a step back, whether we had a strong BE record or not, whether we made the NCAA or the NIT - you're right, according to you. LOL.

I see I've become your new obsession now that Chico's is gone.

Very odd. But whatever.

+1000 It's all about the tourney...right or wrong, crapshoot or not, that's what gets Coaches paid and/or fired. Tourney success is how you are measured.

Nah. I don't know of any coach that gets fired just losing for in the first round of the tournament if they led their team to a high seed.

Wrong again. Twice.

1. Chico isn't gone.

2. Obsessed? With you? LOL. You told a fib to sound smart and got caught. The least someone who calls people liars without any evidence should do when caught lying himself is show a little humility. Not in your DNA, I guess.

Congrats stalker.

Sorry have stayed away from this place. Soul crushing loss.

I still think 9-9 should get us to Dayton.

I did the same, JJJJJJJJJJJ. I felt down enough after the loss; didn't need to have that multiplied x1000. Had a great rest of the weekend, including a big win in the state tournament for the HS team I assistant coach!

On topic: Not feeling good about our NCAA chances. I just have a feeling this loss will really stick out to the committee when they're choosing their final teams:

This one, that one or Marquette. Well, this one did this; that one did that; and Marquette got rolled at DePaul in a must-win game.

I don't really know if that's the kind of discussion that goes on in the room or not, but I just don't feel good about this, even at 9-9.

Thanks for adding some perspective, brew.

Providence sure is interesting. Two huge wins - X and Nova. But 3 ugly losses. Not to mention the home loss to us. Gonna be interesting to see what the committee does with them.
