This is a really strange year. While the majority of the BE has played 17 or 18 conference games, we have played the least so far...11.
I wonder how badly that might hurt us when they use the unknown NET formula in selecting teams for the dance.
Only thing to do is keep winning.

This feels somewhat like the position we were in last year. X was safely in with a week to play but couldn't manage to get one last win. There are 3 games left counting 1 tournament game. If we can win just 1 of the 3, we finish with a .500 league record. That will be good enough coupled with the 2 marquee wins.

I think if x wins one more they would be safe, but who knows. It’s be best to just win the next two and lock it up. Most likely first round be matchup is going to be UConn or seton hall, neither of which are great matchups for x.

Be is not as strong as usual, but regardless would be best to just not leave it up to chance.
In regards to the top ten...do you mean Oklahoma? They are going to drop a ton tomorrow after two losses this week. Not saying it wasn’t a great win, just not as shiny as it was last week.

Last year X looked like they would be good to go by just beating DePaul in the 1st round of the tournament but then lost. That I think would have cost them a bid. That was a bad loss. If they can finish in the top 5 they avoid that kind of game. If they finish 6th or 7th then they play 11th or 10th place team and that would become a must win.
Going to be tough to win these next 2 games even though they are against sub par teams it is always hard to win on the road especially for X this year.
Not playing Nova this year was a blessing and a curse. Kept them higher in the standings but 1 win over Nova would have locked them in even if at home.
Not playing Depaul same thing kept them from 2 wins but also kept them from a season crushing loss.2014 RTS National Champion $200,000 (2460 teams) 2015 RTS 2nd Place $25,000 (3120 teams)

Currently the concensus on Bracket Matrix has X as a 12 seed, which is right in line with the current NET rating. So X is last 4 in right now by those metrics. Losing 2 of 3 would put X squarely on the bubble. Don't want a Seton Hall game in NY to be a must win situation.
