Wichita and Providence dropping games is not helping our cause. We have no top 25 RPI wins right now.
I don't get the LBS as a bad loss. They are in top 100 RPI. They had the #1 NC SOS and are Ken Pom #89 right now.
We only need to win one of the next 3 plus DePaul to be 100% safe on Selection Sunday. Yes Butler is lower than X and Prov but that would be another road win against a tourney team.
The other side of the coin is that if we beat X than we can lose the other 3 & it won't matter bc of how big a win that will be.
If we had just played smarter in the last two minutes of the Nova game then this whole thing would be moot. Ah well.

He's just throwing darts at the bubble.
I would make the argument we should be ahead a lot of the teams ahead of us on his chart.
I don't understand how Lunardi can have Wichita State as a 7 seed. Their resume is not worthy of a 7 seed.
Overall record 20-7
RPI 45
1-5 vs RPI top 50
9-7 vs RPI top 150
SOS >100
1 quality win against Utah.

We have had a very good, sturdy season. A #10 seed sounds about right to me. We have taken care of business.
We don't have a lot of firepower behind the resume because of the lack of top wins. At the moment we do not have a single RPI Top 25 victory. That Villanova loss by one point hurts in that regard. We didn't play a killer non-conference schedule either although we did notch a pair of quality wins (#44 WSU, #80 GU),

I feel like he hasn't changed his bracket in weeks. Alabama and LSU have been bubble teams that lose to mediocre teams at best and go nowhere. We win 6 of the last 7 and move from a play in game to a last 4 bye. Both Michigan and Colorado could lose 4 of their last 5 based on their remaining schedules. I don't think SHU has to do anything great to get in, just hold their own and they should be in. I see a lot of bubble teams facing much more difficult tasks than us. Just take care of what we need to and things will definitely work themselves out for us to be in.
They just need to fill the space on the graphic. It's not a bad loss; it's just our worst loss. The trouble is, we have no great wins, which is why you see us on the bubble, as a 10/11/play-in team.
Still time to add a nice pelt or two to the resume. Beat XU and don't lose to DePaul and we can rest easy on Selection Sunday. Might be sweating a little otherwise...
To me this speaks to the overall strength, or lack thereof, of the Conference, with the team sitting (Currently) in third place in the league....is "on the bubble" and maybe a play in game or 10 seed.
The league this year really is 2 solid teams (not great, but solid), maybe 2 or 3 other decent teams (us, Providence....?) and the the rest. I sure hope for the good of the league that Nova and X make a deep run...and maybe a surprise team (SHU? with a favorable set up...) makes it to the second weekend. Otherwise, this will be 3 bad NCAAs in a row for the league...

Think about it for a second without rose colored glasses. There are 2 columns - one for "quality" wins and one for bad losses. PC & WSt are our quality Ws. Since SH has more than one loss, the "bad" loss appears to be LBS, which is a lot better than a loss to that Central NJ wannabe sports power. They're going o put something in the bad loss column if you have a loss and its not to a top 50 team. My take knits FWIW. BTW, SJU beatings would have replaced LBS and DePaul could also so SH better take care of business.
All of this doesn't matter of we win the BET. That is my short term goal right now. I want to see us play friday night and hopefully Saturday, want too de Seton Hall's name mentioned a lot those 2 days. And preferably it mentioned a lot while still alive in the BET.
Well, that would certainly take it out of the committee's hands. Sounds like the best plan yet.
That is just a standard graphic at FS1: God wins, bad losses.
LBSU is our worst loss but not a bad loss, they are a top 100 RPI team. We have no "bad" losses. That fact is one of the strengths of our resume.
