C'mon X we need that tourney credit

LOL Butler cost us a lot of money today.

yeah quite possibly like 1.8 million dollars(and that's if they didn't win game in Dayton).

You bring up a good point with Dayton games. Fans don't want their team playing in Dayton, but I'd assume conferences don't mind the very winnable path for 2 or 3 tourney credits. I've read that the 16 seeds actually love the PIG because it gives them a realistic chance to double their tourney credit.

Assuming we’re going to see/hear 3 fan bases vs 1 tonight as I’m sure the Pirate and Husky fans will be pulling for ST Johns big time.

Blind resume Xavier should be in.

18-13.
SOS of 10.

Wins vs Ohio State and bubble team Virginia Tech, and UConn, Marquette, and twice over Creighton... plus Oklahoma State, plus Cincinnati... lost 2 overtime games.

And all of us play in the most competitive conference top to bottom, along with the Big-12.

I don't know why X hasn't been playing great recently, but they totally deserve a bid.

As a conference, we need a 24/7 PR arm.
Stever, what are you up to this weekend?

18-13 and SOS I would assume is by NET, which is what the NCAA would use, of 33. OOC of 124.
5 Q1 wins
2 Q3 losses
4-6 road record (5-8 away from home)
Metrics in the 40-54 range

Those numbers are ones that could really go either way. A lot will hinge on the next few days.

The emotions of the game may swing SHU fans to SJU's side at times, but logically we're better off with Nova winning. Should we get by UConn, the SJU press would be a nightmare with Aiken still out and Richmond playing with one hand.

Wednesdays session attendance- 17,163

Remember in 2015 when we celebrated that for a semifinals.
