Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 3887686, member: 889"] This BET has been hugely entertaining, but has also been basically a worst case scenario for NCAA Tournament visibility for the conference. 1) Xavier knocked out of the Tournament with a loss to Butler 2) Providence (potential bid-stealer) knocked out 3) Villanova loses, meaning the top seed in the BE is maybe a 4 or even a 5 at this point 4) Villanova losing takes away a marquee win opportunity from bubble teams SH or SJ, who at this point need to win the BET to get in, since Georgetown and SH/SJ aren't marquee wins On the other hand, one of GT/SJ/SH will be in the BET final and have a non-zero chance to earn the auto-bid. However, the most likely scenario at this point is one I predicted earlier in the week: - epic UConn/Creighton semi-final game, the winner goes on to win the BET, and the conference gets only 3 bids with so-so seeds [/QUOTE]
