Bubble Watch - Friday Conf Tourney (It's not over)

[Alsacs]

I had us in last year when the board felt otherwise.
Short of bid stealers happening I have us in. College hoops sucks.
We have the quality wins.
Other teams have quantity wins.
The committee takes quality over quantity.

We are going to make it.
Probably will play Vandy or TCU in Dayton.

rhode island up 6 at half

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Have to announce those NIT tickets.

 

[jncuse]

guys its over. start thinking about next year

Decent chances we avoid the death blow today. One day at a time.

 

[MickGoCuse5]

and remember one at-large matrix slot opens up if MTSU wins that tourney tomorrow

I don't think this is correct. The matrix has them as an auto-qualifier right now (in bold).

JB ?

 

[Orange2389]

lol

Not that I disagree that Dayton is in and Syracuse is out. But it has nothing to do with the RPI.

its part of the factor

 

[Orange2389]

so did you really just go from "we're still in it" to "we're out" within one page of a thread?

no i didnt

 

[OrangeXtreme]

JB ?

He wouldn't do that on Selection Sunday.

It's either NCAA Ticket sales ... or NIT sales.

Or what's behind door #3 ... they already know they're NIT bound, and the team has voted not to play.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Would you give up Grimm for a year if we get in?

Let's not get crazy.

Moyer tweeted the other day that he'd be playing in SU's next game at the Dome.

Perhaps not.

he probably doesnt understand the redshirt policy very well

It was, but it was not the crusher as we still have VCU in our back pcoket. We still have not been passed for the last spot in (matrix or my personal view). But the water is now up to our chin, and we have 3 days to go.

Agreed but it was nice to have both Dayton and VCU as goalies. Now just one goalie remains, and the weaker one at that.

 

[pearl31]

no i didnt

hmm you might want to double check
(and cease with the declarative statements as to whether we're in or out - lots still up in the air right now)

 

[bpo57]

So what does that say about St. Mary's, whose signature win is @ Dayton?

I put St. Mary's and UVA in the same bucket in the sense both struggle to score and are wildly overrated.

we are clearly out. that has been the case since the baylor game last night

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Is this accurate? Not doubting you, just not sure why/how that would be the case.

lol damm you must be embedded in the committee room - srsly enough with your faux-authoritative posts, they have 0 validity

 

[jncuse]

Xavier 86
Marquette 85
Wake Forest 85
USC 83
Vanderbilt 81
Providence 80
Kansas St 78
Rhode Island 40
-----IN/OUT-------
Syracuse 35
Illinois St 25
Cal 6
Georgia 4
Houston 3
Illinois 3
TCU 1
Iowa 1
Indiana 0


If there are no bubble busters we are actually in modest shape... mind you this relies heavily on VCU. VCU is our best friend right now -- they can knock off Rhode Island in the semi's and keep the A-10 to 2 bids.

Don't think any of Cal, TCU, Indiana jump us with a win today... either way don't take a chance.

GO VCU!

I imagine MTSU is occupying an auto slot in everyone's f ield right now, they won the league outright.

hmm, I guess I'm not sure, that's how I had been reading it but now am thinking I was mistaken... jncuse ?

Yes - MTSU needs to win the CUSA because they may be an at-large.

No spot will open up if MTSU wins. It will just stay as is.
