Nova by 2. Close game.

Seton hall blew a chance to win it and then “fouled” nova with 0.9 left.

Mamu flubbing the catch on the inbounds pass and then air balling the final 3 attempt was delicious

Even more delicious considering he fouled Swider (with no whistle) to have the chance to flub the catch.

But he made a heckuva play before that to tie the game. Mamu is right up there for POY in the BE. He's good (despite his hands of stone last night at a crucial moment).

With Zegarowski continuing to miss games and Bouknight out indefinitely, Mamu is probably the favorite for POY at this time.

Creighton REALLY struggling at home against Providence. Mahoney and Ballock are non-existent (combined 0-11 for 3 points). I’m just not sold on Creighton. They can score like crazy in bunches, but they vanish and they don’t really have a good win other than Xavier (who also hasn’t really beat anyone other than Marquette and maybe Oklahoma).

Creighton just feels like a top 4 seed who gets bumped early unless they get hot.

Providence beating Creighton is not good for Marquette.  It diminishes our win at Creighton, which was probably our best win of the year and makes our resume not that distinguishable from Providence's.  Makes beating the Friars in Round 2 critical to create some Big East standings and resume separation

Go the other way. It shows, as usual, that it's Nova and everyone else.

Will be six teams battling for second and not one program has the inside track. Considering our guys have a slew of games against that crew and the bottom crew left we have a tremendous opportunity. 

P.S. Beating Wisconsin is the best win of the season (Big Ten best conference) until they beat Nova on the road.

Creighton is fools gold. They benefitted from being ranked high in the preseason, but haven’t really done much to achieve that ranking. Would agree with the other poster that it’s Villanova and everyone else.

The trend in recent years for Creighton losses is when they have bad shooting nights . The upside is when they are making the threes but several times a year they will have off nights . Just the nature of their offense.

Providence is also a decent team which had their backs to the wall. Nate Watson is playing extremely well. Almost a prototype College 5.

Road win > home win

And frankly, we got lucky against UW.

No NET ranking is much more important than Road vs Home,  if Net were close then yes. No such thing as luck considered on committee, injuries considered, again not luck. When talking biggest win I go by the wins that will impact consideration by selection committee.

Do we get to discount the Xavier loss, then? Road game, unlucky buzzer beater for us. Or do we only get to do those things when they benefit MU?

Nope.   Played them toe to toe.  Made the last play in a nail biter.   Like Xavier did to us.   It is called basketball.
