BE - Thur 2/25 - 2g, PC-Seton, SJ-DePaul....

Big win for Seton Hall.

Providence just needs to win. They're now 60th in KenPom, and I have very little faith in them doing anything in March. If they beat DePaul and St. John's, they're in. But those are potential landmines that could be problematic. Really hope PC gets in the dance, you never know when you have stars like Dunn and Bentil. Just wish someone else would have stepped up by now.

It's hard to imagine them losing to teams as bad as SJU, and DePaul, but if they lose to either, no way they get in without a run in NYC.

the problem for PC is that their recent play is validating their KP rating. I think most thought that the committee would overlook that- but with how poorly they've played don't think they would. Just saw Palm has PC as a 10 seed now- one of the last 3 teams in with a bye. it's that close...

Whitehead had 25 points on 8-12 (5-8 from 3), 6 boards, 9 assists, a steal, only 2 turnovers, and 4 BLOCKED shots. He is playing his way into the first round. I dont think he will win it but you could make an argument that he is BE POY when you take into account PC's decline and X's overall balance. Still think Hart gets it though

the frustrating thing with PC is that they have the talent to b very successful. It just seems there is always something that blocks that talent from reaching its potential. is that black cloud that seems to follow this program back fro a few years ago?

1-12 against the worst team in the conference.

dunn is still projected as a top 5 pick.

nba scouts know he's being double teamed and triple teamed every game. with him not able to shoot over the defense he's easy to defend right now. scouts already know his shooting needs to improve but they always say shooting is easiest to fix at the next level. his other measurables however far outweighs his deficiencies. if he remains a top 5 pick then it's a no brainer that he goes.

I just saw a mock draft from CBS having Dunn down to #8. What they said was pretty interesting- none of the teams currently in the top 7 really need a point guard.

I think it'd be really shocking if he stuck around another year. There's more of a chance of NovaBall being the head of the Dave Letiao fan club than there is of Dunn returning next year.
