Still a little too early to completely give up on Xavier, DePaul, Georgetown and St. John's. At this point I think 5 teams make it (with excellent seeds on average) but there's a solid chance at least one of those 4 can go on a run. Just don't ask me who, because I don't have much confidence in any of them individually.
This league is so deep it's quite possible we get 6 or 7 in if the PC pulls away from the bottom and has some quality wins and one of the bottom 4 make a run at MSG in the BET. All four have the ability to do so since I think there is no real dregs in this conference this year.
Yeah, not to get too much into it now because I haven't looked that closely, but some of those teams I think would get in with 7-11 records and a win or 2 in the BET. Seems that at least 1 of the 4 could go 5-4 or 6-3 from here on out.
Lets look-
Providence 7-11 would get them to 14-17. Would need BET to make tourney
Xavier 7-11 would get them to 18-13. Would need 1 win over a top 6 team to make tourney.
Georgetown 7-11 would get them to 17-14. Would need at least 1 win over a top 6 team to make tourney, maybe 2.
St John's 7-11 would get them to 18-13. Would need at least 1 win over a top 6 team to make tourney.
DePaul 7-11 would get them to 18-12(vs d1). would need at least 1 win over a top 6 team to make tourney.
Big part of it is does 7-11 get them in the top 6 where they'd see 3 seed Butler/Creighton/Marquette or do they finish 7 where they have to play 10 seed and then either Nova or Seton Hall....[/quote]
Heres stevers time of the year when its all "the big east wont catch any breaks and will get the minimum amount of teams in while the AAC will get all the breaks and get the maximum amount of teams in.
