Remaining 10 games after SJU

[SHUmash90]

think we have a realistic shot at 7-3. The 3 games that will be toughest @creighton, @gtown, @butler. We should be able to handle @stjohn and @depaul. Think we can beat everyone at home ( if they play like they did vs Nova- need the crowd). Think worse case 6-4. That gives us 19-20 wins plus BET. Think that gets NCAA bid.

That's 10 after Wednesday St. John's. I assume we 4-4 come next weekend.

Anything less than 10 conference wins we need to win 2 games in the BigEast tournament - and that would probably get us the play in game.

Maybe, but the bubble will be very weak once again. If we're 9-9, it depends who the wins are against.

Don't think 9-9 does it. Unless we sweep PC, get X and butler at home.

The way I see it:

PROJECTED WINS:
St John’s-Home
St John’s-Away
Marquette-Home
Georgetown-Home
Butler-Home

PROJECTED LOSSES:
Georgetown-Away
Butler-Away
Xavier-Home

QUESTIONABLE:
DePaul-Away
Providence-Home
Creighton-Away

If we win the 5 games I project us to win and 1 of the questionable, that would give us 6 more wins for a 9-9 season record in conference. Plus we have a shot for more victories in The BET.

I have been saying this since the Big East season began. The key games are Butler, Georgetown, Marquette at home. The games against Butler and Georgetown will be tough games to win. But if you want to dance, you have to take the games at home against Butler, Georgetown and Marquette. Sweep the games against St Johns and DePaul and that gets you to 9 wins.

I actually think the bubble will be a little stronger than normal because the "top teams" are losing to bubble teams more frequently than last year.
Last year before conference tournaments, the top 12 ranked teams had a total of 39 losses. Whereas to date, the top 12 ranked teams already have 34 losses.

I think 10-8 should be good enough.
I think 9-9 (would require a win over Nova, X, or Prov in BET or making the finals of BET).
