Duke is also their only win verse an RPI Top 100. Marquette will be in teh same position and if it came down to it Marquette, because of their RPI, would get the nod over Georgetown.DePaul is out they lost to Providence tonight. St. John's is NIT bound they will have too many losses including teams like Marist and Hofstra, which won't play well to the NCAA committee in March.The Big East is the BEST conference in the country right now hands down. Unfortunatly there are a lot of very good mid majors this year that will steal bids from the bigger guys.BE: 7-8ACC: 6-7Big 10: 6-7SEC: 4-5Pac 10: 3-5Big 12: 3-5A-10, CUSA, MAC, MWC, and WAC have strong chances to get 2 in MVC could get 3-4 in. (In fact many predict 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Gotlieb made an interesting statement that UL really has no big OOC wins with the soft schedule that they played. Even one their so-called matchup against Kentucky hurts because UK is really down this season. Right now, UL has 1 Big East win to show for which is going to make it hard for them to climb up the BIG EAST ladder. I wont be surprised if they happen to miss the tourny this season. It should be an interesting race in the BIG EAST. There are really no easy wins in this league. Not even against USF right now as crazy as that may seem.

Their only quality win so far is against Miami. They will need 18 wins to get to the dance, and I'm not sure they get there.Georgetown and Cincy should get there, but it's too early to say right now.

Louisville will win mor eonce they get Taquan Dean back, they played UCONN tough without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
