Great take on Xavier, xusandy. Let's hope they have CU pegged with StJ n DePaul.

As for the rest...it is this weeks preview only and there are no Kreskins here. Having broken out of their shooting slump -
And at home - Jays win. I'll worry bout next week come Sunday. 2 games to win This week.

Plenty of possibilities still. 4th & 5th will dance.

We would need a Houdini act to make the tournament. We would really have to run the X/@Marq/@Butler gauntlet and then hold serve at home. That's five straight, six counting DePaul.

That would leave us needing one win @PC, @X, or in the BET to have a fighting shot.

Way too many land mines.

If the Marquette that lost to Depaul, blown out be Hall twice and looked star struck against Nova shows up then we lose. I can't remember a more bipolar Marquette team.


PC is right up there in contention for bipolar team of the year. Which team shows up, the one that beat Villanova, Arizona and gave MSU all they could handle, or the one that barely showed up in Chicago?

Hoping tonight is the night that CU's string of bad shooting for anyone not named Cole Huff will come to an end -- as it did for Cole on Saturday. Good shooting can get contagious. Time for CU to bust out a 55% shooting night.

For what it's worth, Bentil has not practiced since spraining his ankle vs. DePaul.

PC is gonna be a tough seed I feel for the committee. Their metrics aren't good because they are so bi-polar like you said.

It's crazy. I think they are as likely to be a one and done as a 4 seed as they are to win a game as an 11 seed.

funny you mention 4/11. In Brackets that were done yesterday- some had PC as a 4 and others had PC as a 11.
