That's what Lunardi and Palm think this AM.
Not sure how Lunardi still has Butler as an 8, if we are a 10.
I guess we did need that Creighton win to dance. Or at least they think so.

Thought all along we needed to beat Creighton to firm up what was a slippery situation heading into the BET.
Backing in while relying on a bubble bursting gets you a play-in game, ( maybe ), especially for an obviously flawed team like we have been, (12-13 losses).
Tonight's chances aside vs a resurgent Nova, again with Hou$e Money, think we need to focus on the many positives, seeding be damned.
We are healthy...ankles firm, Flu bug past us now.
Defense is intense - team fighting, getting rebounds and loose balls.
Watson.
We still can't shoot but somehow we are grinding out points.
Diallo.
Seniors are loose; Rodney is awake, Cartwight is on a mission.
This is fun so let's move forward, take the bid and bring that craziness into the tourney and scratch out a win or two...

Tonight, we will rain down threes... Rodney had a few that were half way down. Shot looked good. |

It's tough to move too much once the confr tourney starts b/c of conf match ups.....I'm afraid we're in the 8/9 range right now. I'm guessing we get up to a 7 with a win.

If I'm reading the RPI site correctly we are now at 31, below Butler which is an 8 seed. Nine point drop in RPI didn't seem to move the needle in Lunardi's bracket.
I agree WTM we should enjoy the moment and let the seeding take care of itself. Despite shooting 3 for 19 from 3 point arc, they overcame a 17 point deficit. Amazing. NY Post column called it a real life "Hoosiers" played out at MSG. Worth a read.
I don't think we can expect them to have much left in the tank after two draining OT games, but it has been a great ride.

Palm has Providence as an 8 and bracketville has Providence as an eight
I don't care what seed they are as long as they avoid duke or UNC in Charlotte.

I would rather have a 10 seed then a 8/9 also, I don't wanna play a #1 this early

We will be the only team in the tourney to have beaten a # 1 seed 3 times as long as X stays on top line. Win tonight and that jumps to 4 times. I think 4 wins against a #1 seed means we should be a 1 seed...................

Doubt we’re behind butler. How is that possible? Even creighton at this point. Our metrics surpass them , save for 1 or 2 really bad losses. I think we’re an 8 or 9 wit a loss tonight and a 6 or 7 with a win, our sos would be Freaking 3 if we win, RPI 19 or so, according to the wizard
Edit: never mind those numbers I screwed up, as the wizard counted our two BET wins already and I was doubling them in. Still think we should be ahead of butler all on metrics even before we play nova tonight.
