Big East Conference Game Thread- March

[auror]

I guess we should give up on the dream of Xavier getting into the top 30.

They'd have to win the BET at this point.

Xavier is still on the right side of the bubble. If they win on Saturday, they may not even have to win a game at the BET.

Gloating when your team losses but covers is the most PC thing ever. 1 NCAAT win in 25 years leaves with you little to gloat about, so I guess take it where you can.

Gloating? I will leave that to you. I would think you should probably stay out of this but you’re obviously young and dumb, so let’s go. The knucklehead that was SO sure of easy money is smart enough to hide. But here you are to fill the void.

Easy money against a team we’ve never beaten. Pure mojo genius.

We are talking about one of your posters talking about how -9.5 on Nova last night was easy money before the game. I rightly asked him how much did he win? Knucklehead chimed in to defend his fellow Husky honor. We are not talking about the death match your squad is currently in. Which leads me to my sage old man advice. Never bet your schools game. Ever!

so sad to see the blue men falling apart...again.

fans should be banned from the arena until they can behave themselves. not a good luck for community college duke.

Gotcha. Same betting stupidity, different night.

 

[Get a Job]

What?

I am pretty sure he's insulting Xavier and their fans.

 

[connVA]

Dude- I know. I was alluding to the fact that both decisions were stupid bets.

We good, my iPad was running slow. Go watch your squad come back.

No they aren’t. They’re a 55 kenpom at 17-12. No chance in hell they’re in unless they make a deep BET run.

 

[Hi-Low]

DePaul up 13 on Marquette. Last thing we need is a tough battle from DePaul on Sat

 

[UConNick]

Big East doing a great job imploding their own seed lines/bids tonight

 

[storrsroars]

X is still in as either an 11 or play-in. KenPom is just one metric and not the key one. X was 36 in NET coming into tonight. They do have to win on Saturday though.

 

[Hi-Low]

DePaul murdering Marquette. This league is nuts.

Ya “coming into today”. Kenpom is adjusted in real-time. Their Net is going to tank losing to a Q3 St John’s team.

A road game against St John's is a Q1 loss, not Q3

 

[UncleSpliff]

A 15-13 St John’s team is a Q1 game?? How so??

 

[shizzle787]

Top 75

 

[navery12]

A 15-13 St John’s team is a Q1 game?? How so??

Just barely, but yes. St John's is at 74 in the NET rankings and Q1 on the road is top 75

 

[UncleSpliff]

Just barely, but yes. St John's is at 74 in the NET rankings and Q1 on the road is top 75

Be that as it may Xavier is 3-9 in its last 12 and 7-11 in conference. I just don’t see how they get in unless they win a few more games.

For what it’s worth CBS has them on the bubble and that was before the loss.

Bracketology Bubble Watch: Indiana, North Carolina must win to work their way back into NCAA Tournament
