Big East Poll and NET rankings

It opens up one spot.

But I agree they will get in.

I think that post was a reference to the "You need 68 teams for a 68 team tournament, so you who picking over Marquette, huh?" thread from a while back.

You cut off part of the quote.  But that's no surprise.

37 this year. And while you may be right, their resume is almost entirely built of beating teams ranked 100 or worse badly. Their only top-100 kenpom wins are North Texas and this past weekend over Drake, two teams that are similarly propped up by beating sub-100 teams badly. Their only games against NCAA caliber competition was a big loss to Wisconsin & a close loss to a Richmond team that's on the wrong side of the bubble.

I'm generally an advocate for more mid-majors, but one thing I've learned to count on from years of brackets is the Selection Committee will take leftover l mediocre high-major resumes over gaudy but insubstantial mid-majors every chance they get. I suspect LUC's NET is just too good to leave out, but if they take another loss to a team that isn't Drake, I could easily see them being left out in favor of a Maryland or UConn.

I know, brew.  I don't agree with it, but I know it.  The system is setup to reward mediocre major conference teams and not reward dominant mid-majors.

Do 11 teams make the BE tournament, or does last place get left at home?  Asking for a friend.

Everyone is in. 6 plays 11, 7 plays 10, 8 plays 9 on Wednesday.

Is this confirmed? I've looked everywhere, including the Big East website. Assuming you're correct but have not seen anything to verify it.

Does any major conference keep schools home?  Why would they allow 10 schools, but not 11?

[MUDPT]

Just for kicks, I put in our schedule on Teamcast, if we win out, we are still the 24th team on the bubble.  Big East Tournament title or bust.

What's more likely?  A BET tournament championship or Covid knocking out 24 teams?

[Silent Verbal]

I still think conference tournaments are a dumb idea this year.  With no ticket revenue, it seems like it's a waste of time and money and an unnecessary risk for the schools to fly everyone to one place and risk exposure.  But I guess they have tv contracts in place, which is reason enough.

You responded to your own objection with the correct answer.

UNC jumped up 20 spots to #33 after slaughtering Louisville by almost 50 yesterday. Should be a great opportunity for our team Wednesday.

DePaul moved back to Q3 loss status. Good for MU's microscopic hopes.

[WarriorPride68]

Anyone know what a reasonable guess at our ranking would be if we beat UNC Wednesday?
