It is easier for Manhattanites but you know the groans can be heard from Montauk to Hoboken when they even think about the Bridge and Tunnel crowd; never mind having to traverse to those outposts. Might as well be Guam.

Wow way to not understand anything at all. Marquette's schedule hurt them so even if they won which they mostly did they hurt themselves and everyone else. Georgetowns results hurt us and the rest of the conference but still to a lesser degree than Marquette because our strength of schedule was so high. We have 2 bad losses Radford and UNC Asheville. Monmouth is 36 in the RPI. No one can call that a bad loss. And are you really calling @Uconn a bad loss?! Do you think losing @ Maryland was a bad loss too you forgot to include that. Smh

I'm not saying anything about Marquette's OOC scheduling decisions. I am saying it was just rich for a Georgetown fan to call out Marquette for hurting the conference from their OOC... when it's Georgetown that's done that.

Also, I'm not saying UConn is a bad loss.... but losing to a bubble team isn't something to be proud of.

Their OOC RPIs were practically the same, so acting like one has hurt the conference from their OOC while the other has not is rich. And at least Georgetown scheduled worthwhile games, even if they struggled. Marquette's schedule was a non-starter.

Also, good bubble teams at their own place are the equivalent of top 25 teams on a neutral court. That's not just speculation; that's how the Selection Committee views it. And really, it makes sense when one considers how difficult it is to win on the road in college basketball.
