Right now Realtime RPI (which I feel is best indicator other than Lunardi) says you go 16-14 (10-8) in Big East. Therefore imo USF has to get to 12-6 in BE play. Even then it might put USF on the fence so winning 2 games in BE tourney (getting 20 wins) would put you in, imo. The start of the season really beat up USF, especially ODU, Auburn and Penn St. http://www.realtimer...pi_225_Men.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our schedule is seriously backloaded, and if, god forbid, Collins goes down, we have no PG that even comes close to the stabilizing effect he's had on our offense. I'm looking forward to watching the Bulls take on Marquette tonight. That program has been a thorn in our school's side going back to the C-USA years. Like Brian Williams said last night, "Go Bulls!" This. I could be wrong, but even though somebody different seems to be stepping up each game, it's Collins' steady improvement at point that's mainly responsible for our good record so far. Watching us play a couple games back with both Dority(?) and Collins on the bench - even for a few minutes - was very painful. You guys obviously didn't watch the Nova game .... Blake came in when AC went down, played pretty much the whole second half, and did an outstanding job. 12 pts, 6 assists to only 1 turnover. This is definitely AC's team but if he goes down I don't think it's near as dire as you're thinking it is .... Now, with Dority bailing out on the team, it does looks pretty ugly with both AC and NAsh not on the floor .... very reminiscent of last year. But with Nash limited right now with his back injury, who takes over at point? Poland? Robertson? Noriega? McCloskey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed where Nash was still hurting. i assume that's why he only played 1 minute last game .... and is Noriega still out, too? he didn't play at all. I could have sworn in the pre game I heard them say that both would be available for DePaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed they were still affecting him somewhat for the DePaul game. I would think he would be over that by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we bounce back and can continue talking Tourney in a few more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
