For some reason I feel like the commitee will like 10-8 in BE better than 9-9. It also matters that we finish AHEAD of Marquette and SHU in final reg season BE standings. Therefore I think WWWL gets us in over WWLWL, but I think the only way we go into Selection sunday comfortable is WWWWL

I believe we have 5 top 50Ws and 2 are teetering...UVM(50) and URI (49)...uvm will probably get bumped and uri winning actually hurts us.

I think currently our record is 6-7 versus the top 50

We have 6 currently(SHU 48, URI 49,Verm 50)...Vermont is projected at 43 if they win their last reg season game vs a decent Stony Brook team at home...SHU is projected 46 if they win the next two and lose at Butler...URI projected 46 with a loss tmrw and win their last 2. 38 with 3-0.
We want URI to lose tomorrow to totally eliminate them as an at large, but even if they do win out, they have to beat either VCU or Dayton in the A10 tourney to have a real chance. They've blown too many chances and the Forham loss at home was a killer... St Bonaventure missed out last year with an RPI under 30 and 13-5 in a much better A10. A10 sucks this year.

If we win the next 3 we. Will have 20 wins, more top 50 and top 100 wins than any school we compare to on the bubble and will have beaten every single BE school not named Villanova and probably have finished 4th in the conference. There is no way we don't get in. My opinion obviously.

Couple that with the fact that we would have won 7 in a row (before BE Tournament), reflecting the fact that we're a team that is peaking heading into Post Season Play (as opposed to crawling across the finish line as a team that's been on the decline of late).
That said, I'd like the Friars to take the next 3 - plus the first game in the BE Tournament.

Thanks J so let's go win 3 in a row and test that premise.
For me it's all about tomorrow.

Others have been saying it, so I might as well say it as well...
Tomorrow is HUGE in so many ways! I love that it's a 4pm start (plenty of time for pre-game gatherings), and wish that I had the time to drive over and be there.

Will Wojo slap the court with both hands?

Will Wojo slap the court with both hands? This much I know...he wouldn't be doing that it Shammgod was 60 feet away, sitting with our staff on the opposing bench. Do we have a good officiating team tomorrow? I really hope so!

Kearney blue forum servers will literally spontaneously combust if we get in and they don't. They're in nuclear meltdown mode already thinking about the possibility.

Must win the next two no doubt. We are right on the cut line, and there is a mob with pitchforks at the gates. I am still uneasy about winning next 2 and not winning at the BET, but 10-8 in a very tough BE very well might do it. As of today we make 98 of 113 brackets with avg seed of 10.73 bracketmatrix.com/edit: also as of today the bracket matrix has 7 BE teams in. No way that plays out imo. Someone will lose in the last few games here and get snubbed. I just don't see 7 getting invites. Bid stealers will also emerge in the tournies. I would say the most likely scenario is 2 of 3 (PC, SHU, and Marq) make it and 1 doesn't....But could be only 1 of the 3 depending on final couple games here. Also if X loses 2 more and then 1 at BET, so they would have lost 8 straight do they go golfing?
