Can we sneak into a bye in BET?

Can you somehow work in the pros/cons of a high hedge defense and three man weave on offense and use that as conduit to live stream the game during the presentation? There must be a way to tie that to company synergies and cross-departmental communication and synchronization?

I agree. And throw in something about 'intermodal', 'synergies', cross training applicabilities', stuff like that.

It seems you have chosen the low hanging fruit. Your action item is to ping us back when you have achieved best efforts to make your presentation more impactful. If you need to we could have a thought shower among the tiger team posters here so you can provide an aha moment.

I would love it if UConn got the #3 seed. I want another shot at Xavier, assuming both win their QF games. However I don't see Providence going 0-2 as both games are at the AMP and Creighton is at home vs GTown and at DePaul

There's no way it will happen so no reason talking about it.

I’d be really impressed if you could figure out how to make a live feed of the game part of your presentation!

Hmm.. seems like some open items to consider with the rest of the team. Let's table this for now, circle up at a later date and discuss the blocking and tackling. Looks like we're all busy until .. checks calendar .. April 4th. Let's reconvene then.

Marquette is also locked into their seed and know they play 1st session. Their fans are hyped, they're going to show out.

So are providence and X in session 2 . They are locked into that session so they could get on it too

Nah Providence and Xavier can both finish in the 4/5 game in session 2 or be 2/3 seeds in session 3.

But even still, the point is that Marquette fans are very activated. That plus the UConn effect is the driving force on session 2.

Nearly impossible for them not to be in session 3. Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

Not really. Providence and Xavier play tonight, so automatically one of them is going to lose the first of the 2 necessary games. After that, it's just losing 1 game for whichever of them is the loser.

Providence plays Seton Hall, who is a tough and similar team (yes at home, so that helps but is not "nearly impossible").

Xavier is playing Butler, who already beat them once less than 3 weeks ago and Xavier in this hypothetical will be 4-4 without Freemantle. Certainly a loseable game. Just look at last year when Xavier was definitely going to make the NCAA tournament and just had to avoid losing to St. John's and Butler in the conference tournament. Oops. Thad Matta also owns Sean Miller (from his coaching tree).

Creighton plays GTown and Depaul so is extremely likely to win both. We may win both.

Since Creighton is 0-2 against Marquette and since they play each other, It is assured that 1 of the 2 of them will be in the 2/3, but the odds that both are there is more like 80/20. Since Providence has the game tonight at home, they're more likely to be 2/3, but anything can happen (and this isn't a 1% anything, it's more like a 20% anything.)

I don't see those scenarios as being close to 20% but that is the beauty of sports and why they play the games.

With their loss, Providence now with a 20.75% chance of being in the 4/5 according to KenPom. People that bought Session 3 tickets now sweating a bit.

UConn with a 2.8% chance of going to a coin toss with Providence for the 3 seed. Need Depaul to win on senior night against Creighton and Seton Hall to win at Providence.

Good call. Hope the 20% comes through. Would much rather see PC in 4/5 than Creighton.
 
Can anyone reassure those of us that bought tickets for the 2:30 session that we're not going to be panic selling our tickets this weekend after UConn grabs a 3 seed?
 
God— a three seed would be great. We avoid Creighton in 4/5 game in that stupid 2:30 time slot and then play the winner of seton hall Georgetown -Thursday night. Sounds perfect to me. So basically, we have to beat nova Saturday and hope providence loses for that to happen- or is it not that simple?

Beat Nova, Seton Hall over Providence and then DePaul over Creighton
