But when comparing bubble teams none will be able to compare to St. Johns 3 wins over Marquette and Nova.
I think when it comes down to the bubble teams the committee is usually more favorable to what good teams did you show you cant beat than what bad teams did you show you could lose to."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I知 going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I知 going to play harder than I致e ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

But what if you're Indiana and beat Marquette, Louisville and Michigan State (in East Lansing) but have lost 10 of 11?

My scenario is very narrow. St. Johns missing the cut is highly unlikely BUT if they finish 1-6 with two losses to X, coupled with earlier losses to DU and GU, it’s code brown for them on selection Sunday. Their non con schedule will do them no favors and their biggest wins are in conference. They need for both Nova and Marquette to stay top 20 regardless.

I have SJU finishing 3rd in the conference at 11-7 (winning v. XU, L @ XU, W v. Hall, W @ Providence, W @ DePaul.) I think worst case scenario in that stretch they go 3-2.
My conference predictions as of today:
Nova 15-3
Marquette 15-3
SJU 11-7
Hall 9-9
Xavier 8-10
Butler 7-11
Creighton 7-11
DePaul 7-11
Gtown 6-12
Providence 5-13

Not sure how rational thinking has us beating them twice. Yes, it's possible, but the opposite is most likely if you were to look at probabilities.

Rational thinking can lead one to believe they’re not that great based on their body of work. They barely got by some weak competition early on, got monkey stomped by Duke and dismantled at MSG by a PC team that we just dominated. They’re a collection of 6’5” street ballers with questionable coaching and no bench. If we can just maintain the recent 3 ball % and intensity on defense.....get somewhere close to the 32/18 we got out of our bigs on Saturday, we win both.
