Back in the Race

St Johns loses to ‘Nova. We’re only 2 back in the loss column, and we have another shot at them. Win in Jersey Saturday, try to get Diarra some rest and pray that Karaban comes out of his shooting slump.

How are things BL?

I for one am thrilled that things are getting interesting at the top of the conference.

Out of curiosity, did you stretch out the word race for dramatic effect?

Someone fixed the thread title. For the first hour after you started the thread it said Back in the Raace.

Good God. That’s all? I have accepted my awful eyesight. I was afraid it was something worse.

Problem isn't necessarily catching St. John's, it's that we have to pass 3 different teams. We will need to beat St. John's and have them lose another game... but it can't be to Creighton (unless the Bluejays lose at Xavier).

If we win out and Marquette beats St. John's on the last game of the season, that would probably do it.

We really need the Johnnies to beat Creighton since the Jays won their first matchup. if we go head-to-head with Creighton in either a two team or three team tiebreaker scenario, the two wins vs St. Johns is likely the clincher for them. If they split and we beat Marquette, however, that sweep could be the clincher for us. After head-to-head, the next tiebreaker becomes record vs each team going in reverse down the standings.
