Providence getting blistered by 23 with 10mins to go in the game.

Spread for tomorrow is USF + 7 1/2

Too bad Providence couldn't borrow Fitzpatrick for the end of the game. They threw up a 3 to tie it and juuussst missed. Wow, what a finish.

Need to call them the PROVIxENCE Friars ('cause they have no "D")

Do we want ND or SHU tomorrow? I'm thinking it's better if SHU wins...

Got a reason?

Here's mine.

I think the BE's only getting 7 teams in, regardless of what their records are. Maaayybbe 8. Certainly not 9.

There are 6 teams, IMO, that are already in: Cuse, Nova, WVU, Pitt, GT, and UL. Even if they lose their first game in the BET, they're still dancing.

That leaves ND, MQ, SHU, and USF fighting for 1, maybe 2 slots. MQ's gotta be considered the favorite here.

ND and SHU have pretty much identical RPI and SOS, not much to distinguish between them. ND's got a couple of better wins, but they also have more bad losses. They're on a hot streak right now, and the sooner they get cooled down, the better.

ND beat us twice, we beat SHU, SHU beat ND. If SH beats ND again, that helps our SOS more than if ND wins.

A SHU win helps us put ND behind us when SHU also falls behind us when they get beaten by Pitt, and we take care of Georgetown

Anyway, we're probably going to have to also beat Cuse, not just play them close, to get to the dance.

your logic doesn't make sense and quite frankly it's dumb to be even arguing about this. notre dame is most likely already in the tournament, seton hall is closer to us than notre dame is in the committee's eyes, thus meaning a loss to notre dame ends seton hall's chances at going to the tournament. this explanation is half as long as yours yet it makes way more sense.

Notre Dame is on the very inside of the bubble right now.

Seton Hall is just on the outside.

USF is well outside the bubble.

If Seton Hall wins, that puts them in.

Notre Dame then moves onto the edge of the bubble.

If USF wins, we move to on the edge as well but leaning towards out.

If the selection committee has to pick between Notre Dame or USF, we lose that decision every time.  They have a higher RPI and SOS, they beat us twice this season, and they have the recognition that we don't.

Bottom line, we need the Irish to destroy the Pirates.

Looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree.

Both of your scenarios assume MQ and ND or SHU in. That makes 9+ Big East teams in the dance for USF to get an invite. My basic, fundamental assumption is no more than 8.

If only 8 teams get invited, and MQ's one of them, then both ND and SHU have to get left out, or we're NIT-bound.

I'll be rooting for SHU tomorrow against the Irish.

After we beat the Hoyas, of course.  ;D

GO BULLS!!

Might want to check your numbers, you seem off on the number of Big East teams. Also, Marquette is a lock; not sure where you get they are a bubble team.

LOCKS

1. Syracuse

2. West Virginia

3. Villanova

4. Pittsburgh

5. Marquette

6. Louisville

7. Georgetown

Bubbles

8. Notre Dame (in)

9. Seton Hall (out, barely)

10. USF (out)

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
