Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

The losses have been rough (3 lopsided and 1 just bad), but we got what could be 2 quad 1 wins from OOC play.

I'd say should be 2 Q1 wins. Memphis top 50 and Rutgers top 75 seem very likely. 11-9 in conference play gets them close, and 12-8 probably gets them in.

Mike Brey sounded very impressed with Marquette's athleticism and BE toughness after the game. In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have projected them to finish 9th in the conference. Marquette's got an interesting mix of talent led by a proven coach.

Remaining 7 games for the conference is huge, more than I can remember in previous years. Could be the difference between needing 11-12 wins or just 10 for a team like Seton Hall.

Seton Hall will need at least 11 given they have 4 OOC losses. Going only 10-10 would put them at 16-14(remember they have a d2 win that doesn't really count).

Even if they aren't counted for NET calculations, those wins appears to count in the win column. If they really don't count, I'd think it's really dumb to play these games, but more and more teams are doing so.

even at 17-14 that's tough. they really need 11-9 to have any shot at 18-13 and that's no guarantee at all.

It funny how many of these old Big East schools seem to miss the league.
