Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4204860, member: 833"] Updated: 1) Villanova - It would be great for UConn to pick this team off, but they are in the driver's seat for the league title now. 2) PC - I think PC is winning with mirrors, but they should go 3-1 the rest of the way. 3) UConn - I think we can afford 2 losses and still finish 3rd. UConn would really have to cake its pants to finish below 4th. 4) Marquette - Their remaining schedule is easier than ours, but UConn wins the head-to-head tiebreaker with Marquette so Marquette is really 1.5 games back, not .5 a game back. That is a lot of ground to make up for a team that only has 4 games left on its schedule. 5) Seton Hall - If they get Aiken back by 2/26, I think they are running the table. They may run the table anyway. 6) Xavier - A tournament team should be able to go 3-2 with Xavier's remaining schedule. We will find out if they are a tournament team. 7) St. Johns - Big win tonight, Posh Alexander will be returning, and their remaining schedule is manageable. Their NET rating is lousy (90 before tonight's win), but the teams are so tightly bunched from 100 to 40 in computer ratings that a 3 or 4 game winning streak would move them up the NET rankings quickly. That Xavier game on 3/2 could effectively be a play in game for both teams. 8) Creighton - it feels like 8-5 and in 4th place tonight is probably Creighton's high water mark for the season. This team plays smart and doesn't give up, and can shoot a little, but it is a year away and there is a tough remaining schedule. Creighton may win 2 and beat someone they aren't supposed to, but they could also lose out without even playing that badly. 9) Butler - I don't know how they beat anyone decent, but they picked up 2 wins in the last 2 weeks. Still, 0-5 the rest of the way seems like a safe bet. 10) Depaul - there is a leftover feature from the Leitao (and earlier) years where Depaul does just enough to lose winnable games. They will beat Georgetown and maybe someone else, but they still have work to do to un-Depaul the program. 11) Georgetown - looks like the players are quitting on Ewing. Sad to see. I think the Big East is a 6 bid league this season because there will be too many teams knocking each other off. SHU, Xavier, St. Johns and Creighton are probably fighting it out for 2 bids.
