Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

2 games tonight:

6:30pm, Butler at Seton Hall, FS1.
7pm, #20 Providence at Marquette, CBS-SN.

The Dawgs-Pirates game is yuge, yuge. Must see tv.
Providence really needs to win tonight. But we've never actually won in Milwaukee, ever.

Can't wait! I hope I get out of work early to catch most of it.

Seton Hall- win tonight clinches a spot pretty much to me- as long as they beat DePaul and St John's..... A loss, and they need a win between @ Georgetown, PC, X, @ Butler.
Butler- not a must win- but close. Would need to go 4-2 last 6 with X, Creighton, @ Nova, @ Georgetown, SH, Marquette left....
Providence- Huge game for them for seeding in the BET. They could wind up as a 6 seed in the BET.
Marquette- Huge game for them to try to finish the season in the top 100. They need 4 wins from looks of things to finish in the top 100. They have 3 of 7 games left where they are 20% or less pick in Ken Pom. Aren't favored in any game left.

A Providence win puts MU three games behind CU, but a MU win puts PC a game behind and leaves MU two behind. Since I think PC sets up for a stronger finish than CU anyway, going to have to pull for PC to win this one (plus another loss or two will really dampen their dance hopes). Going to be tough though. Dunn is going to have to do a little more than what he accomplished at DePaul. A Butler win drops the Hall into a four-way third place tie and leaves Butler in 6th at 6-6, one game out. But, a Butler loss puts them two games below the 6th seed and probably one loss from playing into a Wednesday night game. Sets up for a pretty fun finish to the season either way.

A look back at PC's 0-9 history in Milwaukee.

Over at muscoop we have a poster named "bradley center bat." That was an interesting game.

Certainly was. PC/MU games seem to bring out the crazy.

Pretty terrible half for the refs in the PC/MU game, both ways.

Bentil looks like he tweaked his ankle again and sat down at the end. Could be a problem tightening up at halftime.

Brutal officiating. Both teams will be playing walkons with 10:00 to go at this pace.

What a circus shot by Jones...
