Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3753170, member: 9844"] The COVID cancellations have reduced the season to just a few games that will make or break the season. Two of those were lost with Louisville and probably Mississippi State. Now there are probably only two games where we could expect to advance with a win, namely Baylor and South Carolina. We will be expected to run the table in the Big East, with a single loss, if it happens, being more damaging to our rating, than undefeated in the conference is likely to help it, IMO. Maybe we move up a little from beating Tennessee or DePaul, but probably not much. I think if we lost against Baylor and South Carolina, we might not get a number 1 seed. Split and maybe we still get one but as the number 3 or 4 team in the country. Win both and we should be number 1 or at worst second, assuming we win the rest. Of course the other top teams face much tougher in conference schedules and conference tournaments, so we might get some help with an occasional upset there, but so much rides on so few games.
