As I see it

[Halldan1]

1. Connecticut 24-2 14-1
C'mon, was there any doubt

2. Creighton 19-7 10-5
A hair above Marquette

3. Marquette 19-6 10-4
So much for the 7 game winning streak

4. Seton Hall 17-9 10-5
Pomeroy be damned

5. Villanova 14-11 7-7
Somebody has to be 5th

6. Providence 17-9 8-7
Brutal schedule coming up

7. Butler 16-10 7-8
The schedule is now catching up to them

8. Xavier 13-12 7-7
Bad time to go on a losing streak

9. St. John's 14-12 6-9
Can't wait for the next fluff piece from the NY Post

10. Georgetown 8-17 1-13
To think, the coaches in the league had this mess ahead of the Pirates in the preseason rankings

11. DePaul 3-22 0-14
When they keep the score in single digits that should be considered a win

I am aligned with SPKs list. Nonetheless, the last 3 weeks are going to be very interesting. If we take care of business at home, we have a very good chance of finishing 3rd. While Creighton is playing well, they have home games at UCONN, SHU and Marquette. They have road games at St John's and Nova. I can definitely see them going 2-3 down the stretch. Therefore, if we win our 3 home games, we will finish 13-7 to their 12-8. In addition, i really think we have a decent chance to beat them at Creighton.

How do you put a team 3 games behind us, ahead? We lost to them but it’s was set up for a long day. Nova coming off a horrible loss and losing 6 of 7. They were on life support.

Garbage. These metrics mean less than zero in my opinion. Hopefully one day they will be done away with.

A week off is coming at the perfect time for us. Take a day off tomorrow and get back at it on Tuesday.

Play each game like it's a must win and things will fall into place.

Our record warrants a #4 ranking.

Butler, Xavier and Providence are interchangeable IMO, but I give the edge to English as he has had to make do without Hopkins and missing Oduro for a game.

Guess we kinda have to hand it to Dan for being the one person to bump Creighton up over Marquette.

Would love to see 3 BE in the Elite 8 but think Marquette might be the most vulnerable.

Shu09 is a self-persecuting SHU fan. I see a lot of it at our home games and Mets games at Citi Field.
