Unfortunately we’ve had halves where we looked like we didn’t even belong near the bubble nevermind in the dance. They have to keep winning to assure anything these days with the way these committees vote and think.

ok, i'll bite. how exactly does 'the way these committees vote and think' think?
personally, and with zero inside knowledge, i know that the ncaa folks are getting calls from their media partners sounding in 'get that UConn kid on the tube. he's electric...'

Seems like we are on the right side of the bubble. I think the seton hall game is huge because if we lose we will probably end up in that 8/9 range making a deep run difficult. With a win and a get towards the 6 spot where we can have a much more manageable path to the sweet 16.

Basically what I meant was "who knows?". What you meant was, well I guess I'm not sure LOL.

Win the last 2 and 2 in the BE tourney we can get out of the 8-9 game or worst scenario I believe. But lose one of the last 2 and the first one in the tourney we're gone.

Just keep winning with Bouk.

UConn is in with a reasonable finish.

Winning with Bouk solidifies the case for seeding that UConn is a much better team with him.

what you 'meant?' im not a mind reader, i just read ur words in the plain language understanding for them.



'and, howz our backcourt doing nowadays?' is this confusing for you, cuz, try as i might, i can't come up with any words more plain to convey what i mean. can you? mebbe u didn't hear them the first time, so heregoes again: 'and, howz our backcourt doing nowadays?'

Never asked you to be a mind reader? My backcourt was good yesterday, if "mine" is the Huskies. Are they good always on both ends, nope. But I liked what I saw yesterday, even with Gaff and a couple of plays he made. Are we guaranteed to get that next game, who's to know. My only opinion is we need to keep winning so we take as many questions out of their hands as possible. Seton Hall is our next HUGE game.

If they can continue to be that efficient game to game.. We'll be making some big noise in the Tournament.

Looked like Nova sharing the ball and finding open teammates. A compliment!

Lunardi has UConn in with a 7 team cushion, Brad Evans with a 10 team cushion & Palm has us with a 15 team cushion. They don't select the teams obviously but they all have us in a good spot for now.

UConn has room for 1 loss but not 2 to finish regular season imo. The way they are playing should win both but Seton Hall looks to be in desperate need of win so that will be a dog fight on Wed.

We don't want a "bad" loss in BE tourney but with a 1st round bye we should avoid bottom of the league and will be just be trying to improve NCAA tourney seeding by winning games.
