BE Title

[tzznandrew]

Alright, so looking at all the teams with 5 losses and fewer, it looks like we may have a tough go even if we win out (and our only chance is to win out--damn you refs @Marquette!). But, let's imagine we do, and look for what else we need to have happen:

Remaining Schedules
Georgetown (11-3)
@UConn
Rutgers
@Villanova
Syracuse

Marquette (11-4)
Notre Dame
@Rutgers
@St. Johns

Louisville (10-4)
@Depaul
@Syracuse
Cincy
Notre Dame

Syracuse (10-5)
Louisville
DePaul
@Georgetown

Notre Dame (10-5)
@Marquette
St. John's
@Louisville

So we need each of the three teams ahead of us to lose at least once (Georgetown 2x).

Georgetown
In the scenario in which we win out, Georgetown is 11-4, and now needs one more loss (frankly, I don't care if we split this title 15 ways...) We then need to pull for Villanova or Syracuse.

Marquette
We really need Notre Dame to come through on the road, here, otherwise we need St. John's...

Louisville
They've got three teams that can conceivably beat them. Probably our best bet is to pull for Syracuse at home.

So, take care of business, and we probably need Syracuse to go 2-1 (with the loss being DePaul) to have a shot, and we need Notre Dame to take out Marquette.

Hoping for DePaul to win at Cuse is a tough one.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Cuse can go 3-0. We are tied in the L column.

Hoping for DePaul to win at Cuse is a tough one.

Oh, I don't care if Syracuse wins out, provided we do. I was just offering it as consolation for those who don't want to hold their nose and pull for Syracuse.

Cinci could definitely beat Louisville; I think they match up pretty well

Being this close this late with everything that happened to us is F#CK1NG AWESOME!!!!

First team to 40 wins.

Not with Cashmere Wright a shell of himself

I guess we will see if he wakes up then

Amazing that the disgraceful refereeing error in the uconn marq game to start the conf season could end up handing marq the BE title, that's how it looks like it will go unless gtown win out

We'd be 10-4, and provided we beat Georgetown (a big if) we would have some wiggle room to drop another game, potentially. We lose one, and its over now. Also, if they called that game right and there was a 5 team tie (or something crazy), we'd be 4-1 against the other top 5 teams. That's the one game that really irks me.

Nice to think about scenarios....
UCONN running the table: 13-5
UCONN drops one at Cincy: 12-6

Georgetown
Hoping: 12-6: losing to @UCONN, @Nova and Rutgers
More likely: 13-5 : losing to @UCONN and @Nova

Marquette
Hoping: 12-6: losing to ND and @Samson Johnson
More likely: 13-5: losing to ND

Ville
Hoping: 12-6: losing to @Cuse and Cincy
More likely: 13-5: losing to @Cuse

Cuse
Very likely: losing to @Gtown: 12-6

ND
Very likely: losing to @Ville: 12-6

The fact we can have these options is freakin awesome!!!!

I dislike Gtown more then almost anyone alive. I hope fans realize that we have a good shot to win this game but there is just as good a chance that we lose to those POSs. Besides my burning desire not to lose to both pitt (scum) and Gtown in the same season and the last season at that- the meltdown if we lose will be epic around here.

Good shot to win this game? A good shot to win? No sir. We do not have a good shot to win and instead we are DOOOOMED! DOOOOMED, I say, DOOOOMED!
