What’s everyone think?

I’m an optimist so I voted yes but I’ve never seen a year with so many teams on the bubble so wouldn’t surprise me if we got left out.

We need FAU to win today and Oregon/NCST to lose to have any shot

Should get in.

6 Q1 wins (3 against top ten teams) and ZERO Q3/4 Losses.
Looked really good vs.Bluejays on neutral court two days ago.Everyone should have seen that game.
Does it mean PC WILL get in?
We shall find out on St.Patricks Day😎

Our resume is stronger this year than last, but I think we are out. Bubble teams are much stronger this year than I can recall. Colorado, New Mexico, Texas A&M and Mississippi State all significantly improved their odds the last few days and no one really cratered their chances.

6 quad 1 wins, 3 in 1A and no bad losses is normally enough, but I think we are going to end up one win shy. Sure hope I’m wrong though

Another way to look at it is how many BE teams make it in. Three (UConn, Marq, Creighton) are locks, but that is too few for our league. Four may be the number, and then it comes down to us vs SJU. If five then we are in.
Thoughts?

Big East is getting 5

I think we are in if FAU, Colorado and UNC all win this weekend

I would love to see a side by side comparison with Michigan State. Bad losses, .500 record in conference and 19 wins

Not sure if this link will work, but it allows you to select teams and compare resumes.

Mich St is living off the metrics

Their 3 big wins: Baylor (neutral), Illinois and Indiana St at home

Best argument yet…

I know full well if they do sneak in that they could easily lose their game in Dayton. But I don’t care. This is a group that played their tails off and for the most part maximized their potential. Yes they often shot poorly, but they never gave less than full effort and my goodness was Carter special. Oduro and Ticket deserve a chance on the big stage and would be a testament to their dedication after Hopkins went down.

I was disgusted with how last year ended thanks to that fraud. I have nothing but respect for this team and hope we are discussing their opening game tomorrow night

FAU is losing to Temple with about 8:00 remaining...
