Xavier is going to live or die by JP Macura...I don't know what to think about that.

close to must wins for Seton Hall and Providence.

For Providence, a loss here leaves them at 15-12 and 5-9. With next game @ Creighton.
For Seton Hall, a loss here leaves them at 15-10 and 5-8. With next game with Nova.

Both teams are underdogs, but in the 40-49% range. Kind of games that bubble teams must win to make the tourney.

Huge game for CU tonight. We still aren't 'firing on all cylinders' like you'd prefer going into the stretch run of the conference season, and SH has their backs up against the wall with regard to tourney hopes. If the Jays shoot well and can keep SH from a huge rebounding margin--and keep AD from getting every rebound available--we can win. But it won't be easy.

Surprised to see Xavier as an underdog. Xavier will win big. Chris Mack is terrific as the underdog.

I have a bad feeling about this one.

Hope your feeling is right!

Look at it this way, a bad feeling for the Jays tonight is a good feeling for the league

you see, I do not get this logic at all. I feel like it's better for the league for Creighton to get up to a 3-4 seed and Seton Hall not to make it than for Seton Hall to get in the FF, while Creighton gets a 6 or 7 seed. What is important isn't teams making the tourney, but teams doing damage in the tourney.
