Honestly. I think Xavier is in better shape that PC. I could see a situation of Xavier going 0-3 and still getting in. It wont look good. But they would still get in. 19-13 in the Big East, this year, will get you in.

Xavier has the tougher end of the season. but that's good too. No bad losses!

Xavier is 8-8 in the Big East, 0-3 puts them at 8-11.

Yeah. the under .500 in-conference records nowadays don't matter that much. Its the overall record (Q1, NET, SOS) I'm talking about. Its hard for me to see that a 19-13 team from the #1 NET conference will be left out.
 
Providence has better playing much better the last month or so. Probably the hottest BE team in Feb. I think they're in.

Xavier NET is 43, Providence 44. Xavier has 3 Quad 1 wins, Providence 7(was 8 before yesterday's DePaul loss). Xavier SOS at 28, Providence at 32. If Providence finishes regular at 19-12, it's hard for me to see that a 19-12 team from the #1 NET conference would be left out. They are in play for no worse then a 4th place finish in BE.

I can't wait until UConn finally has a chance starting next year to get a lot of Quad 1 wins. Obviously UConn hasn't exactly been good the last few years but when they are good again (and they will be!) they at least need the chance to get more high profile wins so when they do make the NCAA Tournament it's with a high seed.

That's true I think, but it would be by the skin of our teeth and a possibility we get left out.

I'd just rather win out, ya feel?

If they finish at 19-12 there's 0 chance they get left out. I don't even think they're in much danger at 18-13, but their losses are really, really bad. can't overstate how bad they are.

I would like to think that the idea of bringing in a large, talented freshman class of one and dones is pretty well shown to be a path to not winning much of anything at this point. Experience matters a lot. More than talent, although experienced talent is the best of all.

I'd like to think this too. The thing is the balance between the two, and it's going to be interesting to see how Hurley manages his talent over the next couple of years. It's pretty damn exciting.

yea, i'd like to be atleast .500 in conference to be comfortable. the optics of being under .500 are just bad even if you deserve a bid. and we don't have a lot of great wins to offset it. just better to be safe than sorry and beat providence and butler and finish 10-8
