We should root for Villanova to win, except when they are playing MU.

But if they beat MU, it'll help their resume for when we beat them.

Mocking other boards for losing their (crap) after a loss..... irony defined.

Scoop also deserves mocking for losing its (crap) after a loss.

Not me. I want to win the Big East, so I want Villanova to lose. If we win enough us moving up or down a seed line doesn't matter all that much. It's about match-ups are were just as likely or unlikely to get a good matchup as a 3 or 3/4 or 3, etc.

If we win enough ourselves, everything will take care of itself.

Not sure I agree here. What is your logic?

I also disagree, but since I'll be going to NY n March and staying well outside the city I sure wouldn't mind being the 2 seed. Give me that night game instead of 11 AM and a super early morning filled with public transportation.

Yah, I mean Marquette needs Nova to lose a few games for the 1 seed. But I also really want to see the Big East get as many bids as possible. That means Hall, SJU, Butler, Creighton and Providence getting some big wins. At this point, PC is even iffy. After that, pretty much root for Depaul, Georgetown and to a slightly lesser extent Xavier to lose every game they play. Depaul already has enough wins.

We need Nova to win enough to show some conference strength but lose more than us, and especially lose TO us. In some folk’s minds we are already a 4 bid conference. Put MU/Nova at the top and allow the 4-way tie for 3rd place turn into some extra bids.

Does Villanova beating up on the rest of the conference really show conference strength?
Or does it show that the Big East is so down this year that a team which lost early season games to Furman and Penn can run roughshod over it?

I think Nova going 12-6 shows more conference strength than them going 15-1 or 16-2.

Louisville knocks off #21 NC State. Gotta admit, I didn't think Louisiville would be good this season. Mack has really done wonders with that roster.

My hope is that Villanova has made huge strides since November/December.

My fear is that the Big East is way, way down.

At this point, I don't think it matters much. Our ceiling is probably a 2-seed regardless of what Villanova does. If we win out we might get to the 1-line, but considering at the minimum, one of Duke/Virginia, Michigan/MSU, & Tennessee/Kentucky will be on the top line and Gonzaga is ahead of us and unlikely to lose, a 1-seed seems unattainable.

So if our ceiling is a 2, we'll get there if we keep winning. We will have enough Q1/2 wins regardless if we take care of business. Though to get to a 2, we probably can't lose more than 2-3 more games. Considering the 7 teams listed above & Kansas isn't one of them, I really think 3 is the most likely best case.

How refreshing is it to be talking like this instead of gnashing teeth over how many conference tournament games they need to win to get in?

I love it.

Time to stop worrying about strength of conference/strength of schedule. This is what Bubble Teams worry about in hopes of building their resume.

We are 17-3 and just outside the Top 10. We take care of our business, and our seed will be very good. If we win the Big East, our seed will be even better. Cheer for MU to win, and Villanova to lose! It's that simple.

We are not a Bubble Team, which also means those of you cheering for UW because it helps our resume, can immediately STOP with that, too!

I used to lurk the last few years here and a few posters always had IU scores. It was kind of interesting to see. Now, they don’t seem to care about IU. Weird.

Wrong they are our main rivals to winning the BE. We want Nova to lose.

Not interesting at all. Some people didn't like Crean. Who cares. We got spanked by IU and they have been struggling. Thats why IU scores appear now.
