    At this point, unless we finish out 4-0, our chances of making the Dance will really come down to the performance of the various other bubble teams down the stretch.

    It's out of our hands. We need other teams to play themselves off the bubble for us to have a chance.

    We are *almost locked in to having to play Wednesday at MSG. after last night.
    Could be anywhere from 4:30pm to 9:30pm depending on spot.
    Games vs Seton Hall & St. Johns tell the tale. We can't finish lower than 8th.
    (We were preseason picked 3rd, I believe)

    Weird thing is, Xavier might be best positioned to make a run out of the #8 hole as things stand. They'd match up with Butler in the 8/9 game and if they finally put their first round demons to bed, they'd face Providence in the quarterfinal round. I don't think the Friars want a 3rd matchup with Xavier this early in the tournament.

    I tend to agree, even though Butler tends to be our kryptonite at times. Conversely, other than the few teams that have beaten Prov, we have definitely given them the most trouble. I think they would have some sphincter issues with us as their first game after a bye.

    I know all the ranking systems show us making it but at some point the eye test comes into play.If we don't get up to 19 or 20 victories by Selection Sunday,I don't see us making it even if our NET and Kenpom ratings say otherwise.Even after losing last night our Kenpom is higher than Providence's. The thing that is carrying us is strength of schedule. But at some point you need to beat some of those good teams

    I’m actually not disagreeing with this.

I could be wrong, but I feel like the committee has left out teams in the past for going less than .500 in league play.
    Barring not winning another game, we will get in with a better seed than some teams who finish above us in conference.

    I think we have to win 2.
