Bubble Shmubble

This ain’t no bubble team

 

[auror]

Agreed. Win the next one and everyone will agree.

 

[wheelerdog]

This is fun!

 

[BGesus4]

I mean we just beat UNC by 30

 

[HooperScooper]

Well they don't look like a bubble team but their resume does. I'll be curious to see how they look at the games Bouknight missed.

I know I've said this a million times, but how good would a Creighton win look on the resume? They'd be squarely in and be playing for seeding. And I wouldn't have to sweat each of the last 4 games of the regular season. 😀

 

[polycom]

Just win. That is all.

Agree to disagree there, if you look at our resume compared to the bubble teams they don't even compare

 

[Giants2021]

If the committee just looks at resumes on paper they are clowns hopefully they actually use eye test it’s not close this is one of the top 30 teams in the country

 

[UCLJ0211]

We are in 3rd or 4th place in the BE. Should be a shoe-in you would think.

This ain’t no bubble team

This ain’t no 10 or 12 seed either.

 

[metsfan2323]

As of right now we are not on the bubble, we are in....but a bad loss could put us back on the bubble so we still need to win some games.

Marquette's win over NC is huge for us. Thank you Marquette! That's the help you don't get in the AAC.

 

[Hi-Low]

A lock means you can lose out and still be definitely in....we are not that.

I think a G'town win will guarantee us a spot in field & if combined with a Seton Hall win at minimum a 10 seed but probably higher.

If win a couple in BET could work up to a 6 seed maybe.

 

[Kitaman]

Being on Fox national TV is such a boost. That's the advantage of this conference. Bouk has major exposure, and the team as well. People know about us and can see we belong!

 

[nadavtheman]

Your title made me chuckle shmuckle

I think a G'town win will guarantee us a spot in field & if combined with a Seton Hall win at least a 10 seed imo.

If we win our next two, I think we will be seeded better than that. Get to the BET finals? No reason we can’t be a 6 or 7. We still have work to do, so I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I would like to avoid the 8 or 9 seed, though.

 

[HooperScooper]

That may be. I haven't really compared resumes with the other teams. I think the one issue is UConn doesn't have many Quad 1 wins. How good would a Creighton win look on the resume? Huskies would be a lock at this point if they had closed that game out. Wish they could have played 1 of the Creighton games later in the season because I'm convinced they would win.

 

[Tenspro2002]

This ain’t no bubble team

If the Committee considers more strongly:

• the eye test
• recent performance
• play with Bouknight vs. without

we'll be in good shape.

If they just look at the raw record and computer numbers, then we need to win at least 2 more games.

 

[RayRay]

The one thing I keep thinking about is how the committee needs to see that we are vastly better with Bouknight in the lineup, and it’s clear as day that we are. Our only losses with him are Nova and Creighton and aside from USC, every win has been by double digits. Not even close, and the committee should seed us as a team with Bouknight and discount the 4-4 record without more.

They seem a little better then on par with Depaul, no?

 

[ElmCity40th]

If 7 ACC teams get in...there should be no way only 3 Big East teams get in.

 

[BlueDogs]

We are a solid tournament team that can hang. No way we don’t get a bid with one more W, unless there is some real games being played.

Lol ...you are a stalker. Thanks for your interest in UConn bb.

 

[temery]

And the jinks has been put into motion. Beating a sub.500 team at home doesn't say much.

Hard to forget the clowns when you go to the circus.

 

[Kemba15]

I said this a few days ago but we have now won 90% of our games with Bouk are right around top 30 in both Kenpom and BPI. It’s ridiculous that we are being considered first four out/last four in

Message board pissing contest, so much fun.

Is it 80% (8-2)? Huskies lost to Creighton and Villanova with him.

 

[3rdbass]

I wonder if Xavier will hold on. Up 7 in the second half against Creighton and playing pretty well. It sucks we couldn't be Creighton at home this year. That would have been huge of course.
