I'm ignorant here. I think this tourney is now only going to be eight teams... what are the possibilities that Marquette plays in it? Do we know what has to happen? I can't follow the selection criteria/interplay with NIT, etc.. all I know is I'd love for MU to keep practicing and play in Sin City this April. Anyone have good insights that are not #FakeNews #Lies?

Is this the FOX property? I would expect MU to be seriously considered bc of

1) FOX / Big East
2) Past success in recent years
3) a lot of your other non NCAA teams will see coaching changes. MU will be a rare "bad" team that has its coach and core returning players in tact.

The Crown was shortened from 16 to eight teams. The Big East gets only two bids.

It's very likely two are Seton hall and Creighton.

So, probably need some teams to decline to get an invite. Strong finish and a good showing in NY might help.

Or just win the Big East tourney and we don't have to think about The Crown!

I think this year any games NJ, DO, AS, and RP can get together are beneficial

GE brings up a good point that we don't want anyone spraining an ankle in a season we aren't going to the Tournament.  Should hope for a loss in R1 of the BET and head home.  Put AS, NJ, and RP in bubble wrap until November.

Heck.  Start that now.

Yes.  I'm making fun of GE's take that he wants us to lose ASAP in the BET because we don't want to get injured in a meaningless BET game.

That's what I remember reading somewhere. And that ICE will enforce the rule.

There is no circumstance short of the most improbable run of all time through the Big East tournament that we would be invited to any post-season tournament.

Given our record this year, an invitation to any post-season tournament would be an embarrassment to the sponsoring organization. It also would be a prima facia indication that there's too many post-season tournaments.

You should see who was invited last year.

Based on our lack of progression from last season to this one, I'm starting to have my doubts.

There would absolutely be articles about how far post season tournaments have sunk if a 10-22 Marquette team was playing somewhere.

Clearly they were focused on RGV, and who was atop the leaderboard for egbs. Basketball practice only comes after they collectively hit 10k on each.

Hamilton was on top of the egbs, so he was award the starting spot for half the season.

So, are you projecting that the next three games are lost before tipoff?  ::)

UCONN sure. But the other two?
