Our Side of the Bracket

[AntG168]

Who do we want on our side of the bracket in MSG, Nova or Creighton? I say Creighton, we should’ve beaten them the first time.

Definitely Creighton

 

[AntG168]

Definitely Creighton

So I’m assuming we’re rooting for Nova tonight? Lol

 

[navery12]

Don't care, bring on anyone

But to answer the question, Creighton

 

[ASweet3781]

Is this a real question?

Probably want to avoid the program that has won 2 recent National Championships until the Final.

Who is the 6 seed? St. Johns?

I hope so--they're laying waste to Creighton rn.

Xavier if they lose to Marquette... otherwise it’s St. Johns

 

[ASweet3781]

I like the draw either way. Xavier just lost one of their best 3 point shooters for the season and we certainly owe St. John's one. Creighton is certainly beatable in the semis as we came close twice. Avoid Nova until the Finals.

Man does it feel good to care again. And being at MSG? Feel like a kid again.

 

[UconnU]

Creighton. I want them again.

9PM next Thursday is going to be lit.

Nova. To be the king you have to kill the king.

 

[willie99]

We have to beat them both, what difference does it make?

The only thing missing from our return to the BET is that full capacity attendance not allowed ... imagine if not Covid, our fans would have flooded MSG .

 

[HouseofPain]

We beat Nova in the final.

let the fans in!

 

[AntG168]

We have to beat them both, what difference does it make?

Seeding. The more games we play in the BET tournament the better our seeding. If we get to the finals that’d be a great look. So me personally I prefer the path of least resistance to the finals. No one will remember who we beat on our way to the BET finals, they’ll just remember we got there

 

[tzznandrew]

Nova. To be the king you have to kill the king.

But are they the king if they're the 2 seed thus having been...dethroned?

 

[tzznandrew]

We have to beat them both, what difference does it make?

If you play both that's better than playing one.

So if you think we'd lose 100% to Villanova but have a better chance against Creighton, you want Creighton to potentially get that win rather than 100% lose in the semi.

If this were the NCAAT I'd agree with your sentiment, but we want to make as deep an NCAA run as we can, and the more games against good teams the better.

If Nova is without Gillespie, they aren’t as formidable.

 

[UCPharma11]

I think our team has acquired the MAMBA mentality at the right time. Lets GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I hate that I’m thinking that, but I am.

 

[auror]

I hate that I’m thinking that, but I am.

They keep trying to dump it down to a different guard on the block and it has NOT gone well. For those doubting Gillespie's value, this has been a case study.

If Marquette and PC win Saturday, PC is 6 seed.

If Xavier wins, the loser of Seton Hall St. John's is the 6 seed.

If Marquette and Villanova win, Xavier is the 6 seed.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Definitely Nova now without Gillespie. They only go 7 deep when they’re full strength. Now they have basically 5 players and 1 bench player that gets minutes (Swider). They are extremely thin.

 

[Kemba15]

If Marquette and PC win Saturday, PC is 6 seed.

If Xavier wins, the loser of Seton Hall St. John's is the 6 seed.

If Marquette and Villanova win, Xavier is the 6 seed.

Seton hall is 10-6 in conference, they can’t fall that far.

 

[wheelerdog]

Seton hall is 10-6 in conference, they can’t fall that far.

Seton Hall is currently 10-8.
