If we lose out, to we still get an NCAA bid?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I don't like someone's opinion so we should ban them. Go back to the USSR already or China you'll fit right in. Now go back to your alley and keep burning books.

Actively rooting against a team whose fan message board you're posting on isn't really an opinion.

Still clear of the last 8 in. Not on the bubble according to Lunardi.

But the eye test!

Oklahoma down 18 to TCU at half.

I know I'm being annoying but all these teams are projected IN and below MU, yet keep losing. It's why we're safe.

You're not being annoying. The people that don't want to pay attention to anybody but Marquette but also want to tell everyone Marquette is headed for the NIT need to hear it.

Brew said it about as well as anybody earlier in this thread. Given up on the season? Can't blame you. Want Wojo gone? Can't really argue at this point. Don't think MU has much of a chance to win a tournament game? Well, ya. They've proved that at this point.

But none of that is criteria for getting an ncaa tournament bid, and thankfully MUs first 75% of the season was good enough to secure the bid despite the collapse. If the committee still focused on the record last 10 games, maybe MU would end up in Dayton, but the committee has said many times over the past few years that all games mean the same, and it's the totality of the "body of work". Even with yet another clunker on Wednesday vs Depaul, MUs body of work will be well within at least 8-10 spots from the cutline.

It's gross. But it's just the way it is this year.

Utah State becomes the first potential bid stealer, although they may have gotten in anyways

I for one appreciate your info because you've been consistent and are clearly well informed.

anyways is not a word tbh

[Badgerhater]

This makes no sense, unless you desire the tournament to invite lesser teams by design. You're saying that you would like the committee to say, "clearly Team A has performed better, but we are taking Team B"

Weird

Good teams finish above .500 in their conference

[Jay Bee]

Is there a 'be good according to Badgerhater' requirement to make the tourney? No? Then stfu

Yes, MU is a tourney team.  This year isn't like others as the field is historically weak.  DePaul and St. Johns get a bad rep but are both top 75/100 teams.  Therefore, any loss to them isn't considered "bad".  Not to mention, they were close games.  MU showed it can hang with majority of teams in the field through it's Big East schedule.  Not to mention, NCAA would like their leading scorer out there especially as a lower seed to help generate buzz for the game.  Subconciously, that will help MU in eyes of committee. 

Expect 10-12 seed which is better than any 8-9 seed as you don't have to play #1 seed in Round of 32.

Oklahoma pulled off a huge comeback. Good for them.

So did I attack anyone while laying out my obviously subjective criteria?  Did I tell anyone to STFU?

No.  I have always put more weight into the conference season then non-con.  Marquette has regressed when faced by its peers.

No way he can afford Zima. Mad Dog or Boone's Farm maybe or he steals White Claw from his Bernie Bros.

Can't wait for the "we are a lock" heads to explode when they get left out.

If "you can't wait" for MU not to be invited. Then you are not a Marquette fan.   Go away.

Someone must have hacked Lunardi's twitter, because we've been lectured this past week how you're a mouth breathing Neanderthal if you think we're getting left out of the dance.
