Last night was a lost opportunity to make life easier as getting to 8-4 would've been HUGE because it gives you incredible room, plus another quality win.
Our RPI is #53 today (KenPom #36) with 2 Top 50 wins, led by Wichita State (#33) and at Providence (#36). We have 8 Top 100 wins. All of our loses are to RPI Top 100 with the worst at #87 (LBSU).
I think we need to get to some combination of 11 conference wins to feel good on Selection Sunday. Whether that's 11-7 or 10-8 + 1 in BET. Need to take care of business.

Our win over PC gets less impressive by the day. Like the Villanova game, I'm not upset about the loss, just think that it was another missed opportunity. Win that game last night, and you're pretty darn close to punching your ticket. We have alot of work to do.
When you follow the games daily you ride the roller coaster. I personally did not think Providence was as good as their national billing early on because they basically rely on just two players. However, they are a good team and just struggling right now. They still have big wins over Arizona and Villanova and swept Butler.
Unless they completely implode it will be a quality road win on the resume when all settles.

We've played in a much tougher BE in years past and gotten to 10 BE wins and been left out of the Tourney.
If we have 10 BE wins and are in 5th place and Butler has 9 in 6th place, who gets in?
The committee will have to determine of Mq beats PC cause the conference is deep of cause most of us are not that great. I think the former. I still think we are gonna surprise the doubters and win our share of the rest.
The problem is that when teams like Creighton and Marquette have crummy OOC's, but then beat the league's top teams, it isn't viewed as a good thing.
I agree with your last sentence.
