OOC Games to watch Sun 3/9

LaSalle beats St. Joseph's.

Bad loss for St. Joe's. A loss to Dayton in the first round of the A10 tournament would leave them teetering on the edge of the bubble.

It will be interesting to see what the Selection Committee does with them, but they might already be teetering on the bubble. St. Joseph's is a team that really didn't show up until the conference slate, with their best non-conference win being on the road versus #102 Vermont (which is better than #80 Boston University at home) and with a non-conference SOS of 127. Their computer numbers (Kenpom 59 and Sagarin 63) aren't good either. They did go on the road in the non-con, which the Committee likes, going 3-1, even if it was against teams all outside the top 100, and their road record overall is 8-4.

Just saw on Warren Nolan's RPI site Nebraska's RPI up to #41 now. Nebraska very likely now tourney bound- would play #23 Ohio St in the QF of the Big Ten. Even a loss there and they should be safe.

I despise Nebraska but they earned their ticket with their late season play.

They have three really good players, four role players and literally nothing else but that's all it took to steamroll the highly overrated B1G this year. I just hope they don't get a play-in game because they could win that and we Jays fans love to rub their noses in the fact that they have never won a game in the NCAA tourney. If they have to play a 5 or 6 seed straight up the streak is likely to continue.

they likely will be like a 9 or 10 seed. Would see a 7 or 8 1st.
