Let's be real here. Here's most likely the rest of our schedule:

Butler W
Xavier L
DePaul W
Georgetown W
Marquette L
Creighton L
Seton Hall W
Providence W
St. John's W
DePaul W
Villanova L

22-9. 11-9 in the Big East. This is not a championship caliber team. This is a bubble team that should be seeded 8 or 9 in the NCAA tourney that will be lucky to make it past the first round. Unless a major turnaround happens, hang up your dreams of #5. Last year's team wasn't the most skilled, but they were tough. They were able to take care of business against the bad Big East teams and for the most part, split with the best, and grind it out in the tough games and OT. We actually played two halfs of decent basketball, not one great half and one awful half. We actually played defense and rebounded, with a real PG leading us.

And don't bring up "Oh we beat Alabama! Oh we beat Iowa State! We're so good!". No we are not. Last year we also beat Auburn (which was ranked first for a while) and Villanova. We still lost in the first round.
