So can someone please tell me where does the Big East stand right now in regards to bids? are we at solid 5? 6? 4?

Definite at 3, 4 is decent chance, 5 is probably unlikely, 6 is remote possibility.
 
S. Fla loss helps both St. John's & Seton Hall...opened up a spot

Other bubble teams to root against tonight....Oregon, NC St, New Mexico

Creighton’s 2 losses to the MWC early in the season had a huge, long term result on the entire conference’s metrics. But that’s because the MWC teams won the games. Not gaming the system.

Interesting you say that. The MWC intrigues me because the quality of their play is high, their games late at night here on the east coast cap off the day of entertaining basketball, and that they have 2 teams that beat Creighton handily in Colorado St. and UNLV. With Creighton being a top 15-20 team and finishing 2nd in the Big East, that only scores a ton of metric points for the MWC. Colorado St. and UNLV were middle of the pack MWC teams.

In fact it's UConn and Colorado St. that are tied for holding the 80 pt scoring Blue Jays to only 48 in a game. UConn had Creighton's offense in a vice grip in that game in Gampel.

Does it? I think it only helps if Florida Atlantic wins the AAC tournament. If UAB wins the AACT, that could be a bubble burst for Seton Hall.
 
the announcer most synonymous with the big east is in minnesota calling the big 10 tournament?

how far has that league truly fallen?

Except Temple beat FAU and took that spot away again.
 
Assuming NC State holds on (up 9 with two minutes left), if Oregon beats Colorado, St. John's might be in trouble (hope not). I think Seton Hall has already been squeezed out.

If Cincinnati had a realistic chance of being in the tournament or if they were just somewhat good really, your trolling would have some substance. As it is, however, this just comes across as desperate. Congrats on getting the right to be constantly mediocre for the rest of your days.

Looks like BE gets 3 and only 3 in. Kinda bogus, 6 are good enough to be in.

Tomorrow night is gonna be mayhem with all these bids being stolen, alot of coaches gonna be on the rampage about being left out

It will be really interesting to see how the Committee treats the NET and the Big 12 and MWC gaming of it. If the NET has any more than a marginal weighting, than the NCAA Selection Committee is saying that lighting up low majors is the most important factor in getting a bid.

Wow, feel really bad for our 3 bubblers. Each did some great things this year in a tough tough league.

BE Bubble Update (3/8/24)

Here's how we're looking today before this weekend's last BE games and before the BET. 31. Villanova 17-13...
the-boneyard.com the-boneyard.com

The Big 12 is marginally better than the Big East in records among the majors, yet the Big 12 is going to get 9 bids to the Big East's 3 bids. That is ridiculous, and makes a joke out of the entire selection process if it happens that way. And if you are going to give the Big 12 9 bids, then you have to give the MWC 6 bids.
 
Why is everyone assuming St John's is out? Lunardi and his ilk are frequently wrong. Is there nobody else besides St John's that can lose their bid? Not that I really care, screw Pitino and the guy in the red coat, let them enjoy the NIT.

Pitino with a NYC team = Tuesday night ratings. Hard to imagine they would get bumped.
