Looking forward to next Sunday.
In the meantime, I'm REALLY looking forward to the results of Pick'em Round #30.

I think we need 1 more win or there is a real possibility we are disappointed.

I think we need 1 more win or there is a real possibility we are disappointed. I'm with you. We are at the door, but need to remove any rationale for the Committee looking the other way, in a desperate attempt to unjustifiably reward a few "elite" programs that are less deserving.

We will be rewarded for coaching hustle performance and one of the top five teams in the BE Friars could be the most feared team going into BET

Wichita St about to play Illinois St. for the MVC title. This is hugely important because the loser will be right on the cut line. Wichita is probably going to be viewed more favorably thanks to their standing in the metrics such as Ken Pom. As a result, we want to see Wichita win here and hope Illinois St. doesn't steal an at large bid.

Lack of mid majors elsewhere has me thinking both are in...but I agree wsu is probably safer.

Lunardi now has us as a 10 seed rewarding our rising like a phenix from the dead culminating on another road win.
So stop the equivocating BS by some here despite our 3rd place finish...we are IN and better than IN if we get #7 Thursday
Very surprised by '94 here...could force me to rescind my Fan Of The Year designation based on his previous and correct Happy Warrior personna.
I have spoken

I think the Big East has built enough respect and credibility that us finishing above water and 3rd is what will safely punch our ticket. I don't buy the "committee disregards league standings" bs...it's like telling a jury to strike something they just listened to from their brains, of course the committee will look and see that we finished in the top spots. How can they justify putting the 7th team in (Xavier) with their 2 top 50 wins when we have 6, possibly 8 come selection day (if MQ ends up in top 50). Of course if we beat CU it's all moot.
That said if we lose to CU I'll sleep with one eye open on Saturday night because Ive been scarred by the committee giving us zero benefit of the doubt and sticking it to us anyway they can -needing to win the BET outright in 13, announcing us dead last and rewarding us with UNC....sticking us in Dayton to play Dayton which they should be held criminally liable for, giving us the last game on Friday night every year.....etc.
