We're favored? Crazy.

Hope we get into the win column today. If not it's going to be extremely challenging as our schedule really ramps up starting next week with trips to Hinkle and The Pavilion.

Home teams...with exception of Nova, obviously.

Some real important ones today.

Best scenario for maximizing bids would be providence, xavier, and georgetown. But I'm intrigued by butler. If they keep picking up wins they could sneak into a top 5 seed.

The good thing about the nova game is that it is on the road, so it won't be total rpi poison.

Flipping around and turned on Tulsa-USF and I have to say I'm so happy we don't have USF, Rutgers, Cinci and Pitt on the schedule anymore. Those teams played some thug basketball in the Big East and were brutal to watch. Games were consistently in the 40's-50's - Boring! I have to admit, despite being a skeptic on the league that we have, that we have ten fun ass teams to watch. Even at the bottom, love watching Fischer at Marquette, BG Jr at Depaul and Creighton fans pack the house at home.

Milk steak - Outside of the Penn band and whatever students they drag out of the library, sold out Palestra will be a pro nova crowd.

Nova

Providence

Took Marquette +10 and Butler +4... think these road teams have a chance to win, if not keep it close.
