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

Nova absolutely taking Butler to the woodshed.

Kamary Richmond got injured. Hope he is okay because without I’m him and Aiken they might as well call it a season

 

[auror]

Creighton getting really good looks in 1st half.

That’s what I thought about Creighton when nembard went down…

Eh felt like it was more our mistakes that game than Creighton playing well we started awful and came back facing a raucous crowd. We would beat them in MSG

As for seton hall without Richmond or Aiken they have no scorers outside of Rhoden

The mistakes, yeah u ain’t lying Brutha. Th Ajax TO when UConn finally tied it gave Creighton life . It got the crowd back into the game when Creighton scored the next 4 points. everytime UConn got the game tied again with a chance to take the lead they would commit a sloppy turnover that rescusitated (spelling) Creighton

Seton Hall is missing their 2 starting PGs and they are still beating Creighton. Their length and their switching on D is giving Creighton

 

[Kolumbo]

on a side note, oranges, loserville, pitts, bcu: that is all.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Kalkbrenner plays like Kareem Abdul
Jabbar vs us and back to reality vs everyone else. Creighton gonna lose this game at home vs a 2 starter down Seton Hall team.

Seton Hall is playing the pick and roll much better than UConn

are you watching the same game as me? kalk has 16, 8, and 3 blocks. he's a really good player.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Ya and he just missed a free throw and a bunny with a min left. What did he have 24-11 vs us?

 

[HeGotGame]

He had 4 points and 6 rebounds against us as well.

 

[UncleSpliff]

O’Connell air balls a long 2 down 3 with 13 seconds left lol. Talk about boneheaded plays.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Down goes Creighton we are back into the 3 seed with a win today! Let’s go

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Creighton taketh away and then giveth back.

 

[UConnMike04]

Great win by SH for us!

 

[aburks41]

Seriously how did we lose to this Creighton team? They are not that good

 

[AzHusky]

Their in our heads

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

So we get the 3 seed if we beat Depaul now?

 

[aburks41]

So we get the 3 seed if we beat Depaul now?

Yes

 

[KingAG]

Yes

They are good, but Seton Hall has height that bothers some shots that UConn’s D doesn’t. UConn’s D is good, but it seems like when the other team has some good 3 point shooters, they don’t really understand the nuances of playing help D. Even if the other teams plays 3 point shooters the common misconception is that you can’t play help D, but that is incorrect u can play it you just have to show more variety when helping.

 

[bendm]

if we beat Depaul we are 3 and Creighton is 4.

if SJU beats MU then Hall is 5 and MU is 6

go Johnies.

 

[Huskygamble19]

I am glad that Seton hall won, but it is just so annoying that we played probably are worst 2 games this season against Creighton. get them out of your head guys!
