Final as I see it

[Halldan1]

No other results are going to change this list. So this is my final order.

1. Connecticut 35-3
Odds on to win it all

2. Creighton 25-10
Just like their upside over Marquette

3. Marquette 27-10
Expect most to disagree with this

4. Seton Hall 23-12
They belonged

5. St. John's 20-13
So did they

6. Providence 21-14
Maybe them too

7. Villanova 18-16
Who would have thunk it

8. Butler 18-15
When all is said and done, nice job by Matta

9. Xavier 16-18
Don't know why but Kenpom is in love with this team

10. Georgetown 9-23
Much better next season

11. DePaul 3-29
New coach, hopefully better results

There was a time on this board a few years ago when Willard, McDermott, and Cooley had remarkably similar BE resumes which included records of like 1-4ish in the NCAA Tournament,

McDermott finally broke through. In the past 4 seasons he’s made 2 Sweet 16’s and an Elite Eight, painfully close to a Final Four. Prior to this the program hadn’t been to a S16 since 1974.

Does this change if we win NIT convincingly next 2 games?

 

[Halldan1]

No. I just cannot see any scenario where SHU catches Creighton or Marquette.

I see it the same as Dan, except for flipping Xavier and Butler. No major difference between them, but I give X the ever so slight edge because they went 2-1 vs. Butler.

We're clearly # 4.Pretty good versus #9 pre season coaches prediction.
