    At least we traded spots with them in and they are now in "last four byes". I feel like a win tomorrow and Xavier gets REALLY close to being a lock. Just have to avoid a collapse at that point.

    Lets just win the rest of the games. The team, students, and the fans deserve it.

    This is how weak the bubble is. UC hasn’t done anything all year, have 4 bad losses, and they are still right there according to Mike Decoursey.

    Providence would be the team I thought X could catch but they keep winning.

    Losing at home to Marquette will probably be what costs X a top 6 BE tournament seed and I think X finishes #7 and will have to play that extra game which nothing good could come from it. A loss would be a disaster and a win and you have to play #2 seed that is rested.

    A must win today vs Nova to have any shot at a top 6 seed.

    Butler is the much more likely team to catch. 7-7 now and They go to Creighton tomorrow and still have to come to Xavier. They play home to St Johns and DePaul.

    Both Butler AND Marquette are in a tailspin. Unfortunately if we end up grouped with them at 9-9, we play on Wednesday, mostly because of that damn 2OT Cintas debacle. We need for MU to totally collapse or get to 10, so we can grab the 6th seed on Senior Day.

    I'm not buying Marquette collapsing - they just do not matchup well with Providence for whatever reason.

    Butler themselves is a game below .500 in the Big East now - it makes Xavier's loss up at Hinkle a little maddening now. Just gotta take care of business for the final four games of the regular season.

    My understanding is that if we tie Marquette (or any team) it isnt our head to head record that matters it is our record against the best team in the conference (or teams if there is a tie at the top).

    Seed projections:
    Code:
    Games																
    DePaul-Home	W	W	W	W	W	W	W	W	L	L	L	L	L	L	L	L
    G'Town-Road	W	W	W	W	L	L	L	L	W	W	W	W	L	L	L	L
    Prov-Road	W	W	L	L	W	W	L	L	W	W	L	L	W	W	L	L
    Butler-Home	W	L	W	L	W	L	W	L	W	L	W	L	W	L	W	L
    Seed	              5	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	7	8
    So if we go 4-0, we get a 5, if we go 0-4, we get an 8. Anything else will be the 7. (Assuming the favorites win all other games)

    You are correct. Head to Head is not the first tiebreaker (Which is beyond bizarre). First TB is record vs first place (Vs everyone who tied for first) and so on down.
