Wake loses at home to 13-16 Georgia Tech. Their third straight loss to bad teams. That should just about pop their bubble.
Ole Miss also lost again, along with Kansas State, Syracuse, and Cincinnati. A couple of those are fringe at best but still good results. Bottom line: Seton Hall is in with a win tomorrow night. It's that simple.
Gotta beat DePaul as well. Can’t forget that! We need a win on Wednesday AND Saturday! Crap the bed with either and we are screwed.
Depaul is the worst Big East team I've ever seen. Worse than the winless Gtwon team. Worse than early Miami, for those who were fans back then. St. John's dropped 104 points on them tonight, and at one point was up like 50 points in the game. Pitino played his bench guys more than his starters.
We obliterated Depaul at their place and will obliterate them on Saturday. Our bench should be getting double-digits minutes in that one.

DePaul is a sure thing. The worst team in the history of the Big East. Seton Hall actually could just "show up" and win that one.
Non-bubble related, but on the topic of the Big East, I couldn’t sleep last night and caught Cooley’s press conference yesterday after the second Prov/Gtown game. It was basically a recruiting pitch for Devin Carter. Found it amusing in this day of free agency we live in.
Wouldn't be surprised if he goes after Carter and Hopkins. Bring the old band back together.

Latest bracket matrix. Pirates moving into lock territory. Just win baby win. We are in 106/108 brackets. Last ten seed. I think a ten seed is a great position for us with a good match up.
Seton Hall is in. Nobody that finishes top 4 in Big East with 12 conference wins is being left out of tournament
Kansas State may have given themselves new life by upsetting number six Iowa State. Still probably have to win a game or two in their conference tournament.
KSU plays in the best league and no doubt has some really good wins I'm sure (no clue on the resume or metrics), but at 8-10 in league play I have to think they have some work to do.
Certainly have some work to do. But this win leaves the door open. A loss today would’ve pushed them out. They’ll have that opportunity in the b12 tournament
Lunardi gives a nice visual of where things stand:
agreed. This was made prior today’s results. Just updated with colors to show win / loss
That hasn’t really played out on the court being we’ve swept them.
Not sure how this is even possible. FAU who came in second in AAC behind USF is projected as a 7 or 8 seed yet they have seton hall as a play in and USF who won the conference as not in at this moment. They are 16-2 in conference. This is everything that is wrong with the metrics and the absolute garbage NET. Throw iT OUT!!!
Because USF has 17 of their 23 wins vs quads 3/4 opponents. They have also suffered two quad 4 losses and yesterday’s set back to Tulsa was a quad 3 loss.
Their 6-3 in Q1/Q2 games and have won 15 of 16 games. They can play. But leave them out for TCU whose 4-10 in Q1 and has 14 Q3/Q4 wins, right?

And if you look at all those resumes, metrics included.
Seton Hall should be above those teams regardless what happens in conference tournament play unless they win multiple games.
If the field doesn’t get a bunch of bid stealers, it’s looking more likely the Hall has a chance to avoid Dayton.
Beat SJU at the BET and that would remove all doubt.
After looking at their team sheets I have a hard time seeing Indiana State and James Madison getting at-large bids. ISU has 22 of 27 wins in Q3 and Q4 while 27 of JMU's 28 wins are Q3 or Q4, 21 of them in Q4.
I understand the trouble that good mid-majors can have scheduling but other than Michigan State, JMU didn't even try.
Indiana State did a little more but took blowout losses to Alabama and Michigan State and have a bad loss in league to Illinois State. Plus they would have lost two of three to Drake if they don't win the MVC.
An article recently shared on this site says the exact opposite. It said JMU tried to schedule and nobody would play them. They only got the Michigan St game because Izzo nephew is a JMU coach.
Drake is 6-4 in Q1/Q2 games. Indiana State 5-4. If you watch both teams play they're very good. The loser of their game today should at worst get a chance to play in Dayton.
They have 1 impressive win over AZ. They also lost to UNCC and USF head to head. You want to say they’re in ok but a 7 seed? That’s crap.
