I suppose Marquette could make the NCAA Tournament, but their resume leans NIT. The blowout loss to Villanova doesn't help.

In all honesty, they don't look like a NCAA Tournament team to me.

Nope...once they lost to DePaul two weeks ago, it was over..that was pretty obvious.

Because you're on the selection committee

This resume would have been a NCAA lock any of the past 10 years. I wouldn't write this team off yet.

Do you realize that MU will have the same record this year as they did last year? Against a tougher schedule?

The RPI of this team is actually better than last year's.

My guess is Dayton at best though.

Stupid truth.

I don't blame anyone for looking at the DePaul loss and wondering what might have been? That was probably the deciding game in the home stretch.

The thing of it is that I look at this year's Marquette team and on the balance they do not look like a typical NCAA tournament team. The close loss to Villanova and the blowout win over Seton Hall says "yes." But the loss to DePaul and St John's says "no."

I wear blue and gold glasses, but i am not seeing it.

They don't have that top 10 win though =/. That's what got them in last year. It'll be close this year

My guess is Dayton at best though.

I didn't know that. But last year's team seemed better on a certain level. I am having difficulty describing it. Maybe because there was no "signature" win this year.

The lesson of this season is don't lose to DePaul

GoldenZebra · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2018, 08:03:35 PM »

Look at all these bracketologists come out of the woodwork. We'll see sunday.

No consistency all year, outside of some record games by the midgets,another what could have been year.

Only post I am going to make in here tonight.

Not all is lost. We still have a chance. 50/50 proposition.

Beating Nova was always a prayer. That’s the best team in the country.

We’ll see what Sunday brings. Dayton wouldn’t surprise me.

chapman · « **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2018, 08:04:45 PM »

Could be a 1 seed, maybe a 2. Close down the BC with two, maybe three more?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors make the NCAA. But it doesn't feel that way.

I wish people would actually look at the teams around us before they say such stupid stuff. Every team around us has a DePaul loss. do some research instead of acting stupid
Alabama has 3 depaul type losses
Bonnies have 3 as well and they are in by most

Well hell...let's celebrate!!! 19-13 seasons and being a bubble team, or barely getting in the tourney..Wahoo! That's awesome stuff...but oh yeah, that shows improvement! NEXT year is THE year!

I realize it's a meaningless point, but St. J had the ability to knock off Duke and Nova. I don't mind that loss.

It literally does show improvement.

You’re an idiot dude. I’m sorry. But go root for Duke. That’s the only team worthy of your fandom.

Same record as last year. Better rpi too. FAR younger team, and people still think we underachieved
