Mar 2 to Mar 4 - Bubble Discussion

[Chris02M]

We don’t want to play BC first over Wake give SU the Noles winning.

we cant play bc as they with a win finish 10 or 11, with a loss there 12

 

[PauliePeppas]

Anything not to play BC on Tuesday (cant believe I just typed that)

 

[jncuse]

Good results so far. Notre Dame beating Virginia would possibly bring the injury factor into play to give them a favourable decision.

And no need having the risk of Loyola as an at-large. They need to win the MVC tomorrow to remove that risk.

in your estimation, what would ND have to do in the acct to get an at-large?

Here is that outside scare. Oklahoma St has been ignored because of the ugly RPI. But the RPI is deceiving. If they wi this they can be viewed as our equal.

Worrying because Kansas has little to play for today.

they could be in the mix for a 1 seed

With Colson back they managed to beat Pitt, so that proves nothing really. I think two quality wins puts them in the heart of the discussion.

This is the worst part in livng/dying w bubble results - the "nothing-to-play-for" teams playing against those teams you need to lose - Ohio St last night, Kansas today, etc

BC losing gave Syracuse 10 seed if BC won Syracuse would have been 11.
It was good for Syracuse that BC lost.

We get Pitt on Tuesday.
Winner of Duke-UNC will be the 2 seed.

First time I've ever wanted to agree with Seth Davis. Seems to think we have a decent chance with a win Tuesday.

Well you know what happens now..

 

[orangenirvana]

how come?

Doesn't matter now but Syracuse would have avoided Duke/UNC until the semifinals. Now we have to face one of them in the quarters (if we get that far).

So two wins is the best we can hope for now considering how badly we match up against them this season.

Thought Wake?

 

[jncuse]

Alabama almost pulled it off, but couldn't.
Stanford needs to hold on.
Looks like Marquette is keeping pace with us.

try again nd has tiebreaker on us for 10 seed if they lose, were locked as 11 seed, bc is 12, GT is 13, wake is 14, pitt is 15

 

[Chris02M]

it is wake

 

[sdcuseguy]

I would love it if Seth Davis was right but I just can't see it. beating Pitt almost does no good for us at all. We need an upset in the 2nd round. That should do it.

good thing were not playing pitt

That is better as if Duke wins as I expect I wouldn’t want to be in Duke’s QF.

 

[jncuse]

They do that by winning the Big 12. I just think it's a natural letdown.

what does Pitt have to do with it?

 

[Chris02M]

only seeds locked in as of now for acct are 1, 7, 11-15

 

[Orangezoo]

Seth Davis ... Says Bama at 17-14 is definitely in... Really?
