How do we play Creighton in BET?

[We R Final Four]

I'd prefer to play Creighton but have no problem playing the Hall again.  I definitely don't want UCONN.

Thats not an option

[MuggsyB]

Thats not an option

What's not an option?

[Newsdreams]

What's not an option?

No, either them or us at this point.

[MuggsyB]

Oh....my bad.

[bilsu]

So this is not fun to think about (and very COLEish), but is it

A) Better to lose to SJU and beat GT (And lose next game) or:

B) Lose to SJU and lose to UCONN (with CU win at SHU)?

The danger with A of course is that we also lose to GT. Does "B" have us safely in? The answer to this question then dictates who we cheer for in CU/SHU right?

I have no confidence we beat Georgetown. The only way we will not make NCAA tournament is to lose to St. John's and then lose to Georgetown. We might still be in, if we lose to Georgetown, but I do not want to take the chance.

[Newsdreams]

Oh....my bad.

It's ok....But like I said I rather play Uconn than Georgetown. Nothing to gain by playing Georgetown.

[MuggsyB]

No doubt about that.  I fully expect a W tonight. 

[The Equalizer]

I think these are the options:

If Creighton wins, it's easy.  We get the 5th seed and play UConn in the BET, regardless of whether UConn beats DePaul. Creighton beat UConn twice, so the best the Huskies could do with a win is a 3rd place tie with Creighton, but would get the 4th seed.  If they lose to DePaul, Creighton is in third outright and UConn drops to fourth.

If Creighton loses (meaning Seton Hall wins):
& MU wins & UConn wins:  MU gets the fifth seed, Creighton fourth--we play Creighton in the BET
& MU Wins & UConn loses: MU gets the fifth seed, UConn is 4th--we play UConn in the BET
& MU loses & Uconn wins: MU is sixth, we face Georgetown first, then would face UConn 
& MU loses & UConn loses:  MU is sixth, we face Georgetown first, then would face Creighton.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Our options are:

Creighton then winner of Providence/Xavier/Butler (assuming Uconn beats DePaul tomorrow) then championship

Or

UConn then winner of Providence/Xavier/Butler(assuming Uconn beats DePaul tomorrow) then championship

Or

Georgetown then Creighton then winner of Villanova/St. Johns/DePaul (assuming UConn beats DePaul tomorrow) then championship

1 is the clear best path but 3 may be an easier path than 2. Either way,  the right answer is to just keeping winning and let your opponents fall as they may

[MuggsyB]

Heck of a game in Omaha.

[MuggsyB]

You have to give it to Kalbrenner.  I never imagined he would improve to this level.

[MuggsyB]

Wow..  Iron unkind.  It looks like the Hall will escape.

It's the St. John's win we really need. Then another shot at Creighton!

[GoldenEagles03]

St. John's should be able to run up and down tonight. Gonna be interesting to say the least.

Seton Hall deserves the 5 seed though, they've been on a heck of a run.

We gotta earn it back with a win tonight.

[MU82]

If only O'Connell had shot at the end of the game against us like he did at the end of the game today. Two open 3's, with the second one being way more wide open than the one he hit against us in OT.

Also ...

Nice job by SH and UConn doing what we needed them to do. Now we just gotta take care of business!

[We R Final Four]

I said the same thing. I said that shot goes in if they're playing us.

[MU82]

I said the same thing. I said that shot goes in if they're playing us.

He was about as open on the first one as he was against us ... and this time he shot an effen airball.

The second one ... I'm almost as close to him right now as any SH defender was. Looked like Cale gave a half-hearted effort to commit a foul but the refs (correctly) didn't call it.

[PGsHeroes32]

We got what most of us wanted in the early games. A chance to get another crack at Creighton and avoid Uconn.

Gotta do our job and win tonight. Avoid the worthless Gtown game.

Just win baby

BE seedings? Who gives a sh@t? You don't want to lose 2 in a row. And we won't. Stomp the jonnies tonight and get your tests done before we get on a plane for NY. Show me your character, you've worked hard, too hard. Don't be discouraged because you expected these games to be easier. It always gets harder when to get closer to the end. And a good ending is always worth the effort.

It was so nice to see Wojo at the Duke Carolina game tonight instead of the sideline at Fiserv Forum.  He was where he usually is around Mid March -  not on a BB court.

I mean. He played in an Elite Eight so he was on a BB court then. And he coached in 11 Sweet Sixteens, 3 Final Fours, and won two National Titles as an assistant coach in his career.

That's great.  I'm speaking from an MU perspective so I will amend my comments.  He blows as a head coach.

Is the St John's  game delayed? Can't find any streams not playing the end of the Xavier game
