[Its DJOver]

Don't look now but 4 straight blow out wins has StJ within shouting distance of being a Q1 home win.  Have to blow out Gtown this weekend and will need at least one in the BET to get there but between them and our remaining schedule, double digit Q1 wins is a real possibility.  Hit that with only 1 Q2 loss (Butler is safer by the day of staying top 75) and we'd be a lock for a 2 seed regardless.

SJU gets to Q1 by boat racing us at the Garden.

Wouldn't be the worst scenario.  I'd rather draw StJ/Nova and another guaranteed Q1 game in the QF.

Nova hanging on as a Q1 by the skin of their teeth.

Nova hanging on as a Q1 by the skin of their teeth.

A Nova home win over Creighton would be delightful.

So we unequivocally want 'Nova over Creighton Saturday right?

So we unequivocally want 'Nova over Creighton Saturday right?

Unequivocally.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

If we lose Sat and Hall takes care of Depaul, who wins the tiebreaker between Seton Hall and Marquette?

[bilsu]

If we lose Sat and Hall takes care of Depaul, who wins the tiebreaker between Seton Hall and Marquette?

I believe Seton Hall, because they have a win over UConn.
Creighton also has win over UConn, so they have the tie breaker over us.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Creighton also has win over UConn, so they have the tie breaker over us.

Thanks. Makes Saturday fairly important both in terms of avoiding UCONN but also not playing day games.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

If we lose Sat and Hall takes care of Depaul, who wins the tiebreaker between Seton Hall and Marquette?

Two way tie, Seton Hall.  Head to head is tied, Seton Hall wins second tiebreaker since they beat UConn once and we didn't.  Marquette becomes the 4 seed.

Three way tie with Creighton involved, it goes to a mini-conference (record against all tied teams). Creighton 3-1, Marquette 2-2, Seton Hall 1-3.  Marquette becomes the 3 seed.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Thanks JAM. Appreciate putting in the work I was too lazy to do.

[mugrad_89]

Let's just take care of business tomorrow and finish either 2nd or 3rd.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Here's the MU BET seeding what if scenarios:

Marquette wins AND Creighton loses, Marquette is the 2 seed.

Marquette and Creighton both win OR both lose, Marquette is the 3 seed.

Creighton wins AND Marquette loses AND Seton Hall loses, Marquette is the 3 seed.

Creighton wins AND Seton Hall wins AND Marquette loses, Marquette is the 4 seed.

[Jay Bee]

Here's the MU BET seeding what if scenarios:

Marquette wins AND Creighton loses, Marquette is the 2 seed.

Marquette and Creighton both win OR both lose, Marquette is the 3 seed.

Creighton wins AND Marquette loses AND Seton Hall loses, Marquette is the 3 seed.

Creighton wins AND Seton Hall wins AND Marquette loses, Marquette is the 4 seed.

Just to add - Seton Hall should easily win vs DePaul. So, it really comes down to our game at X and/or Creighton at Nova, both of which are complete toss up games. (I think both spreads may be 1.5 or closer)

[oilcan]

Who cares about the seed? I don't. A two or a three is irrelevant to me. Give me a four. I don't care who we play. The Golden Eagles will beat any other team on the court and they will advance. And if they don't win they go home. You win and you win and then you face the biggest boys in the country. Bring it on. Oh by the way, the whole team is playing well.

I saw senior night. Tyler and Oso. That's what pride looks like. It felt so good to see. Two guys who love to play basketball and are determined to get an education along the way. Both of them will graduate, and Oso will earn a master's degree after four years. And I saw Oso wearing a Ben Gold tee crap last week. He is such special team mate. That's funny.

Alright, so some of you people are feeling a little numb. And you're wondering if this team can win. I tell you what.  When you walk onto a court you expect to win. You prepare along the way.  You believe. It's what the game is all about. I don't care who we play. Go Marquette.

And when Tyler comes back (and don't worry about that) things will get even better.

Sorry- I meant Oso wore a Ben Gold tee shirt. 
The lowest seed to win March Madness? #8 Villanova  1985

Texas up to 25 in the NET. 

I wonder if Nova could move back up to Q1 if they beat DePaul badly enough.  Of course, we play them next and could knock them right back to Q2.

Thats whats nice about getting nova first game

We are getting a Q1 win added to our resume regardless

And if we lose its a Q1 loss with the added Q1 win

TK aint playing unless hes in top form

This is the kind of sh*t with NET/Team Sheets/Computers that drives me nuts - we can lose a game and it still might end up being a net positive to our resume.

NET is COLE.
