lets look at tonights game with Marquette and Seton Hall....
Seton Hall-
if they win, they have 3 conference wins. Still have 7 games left with top 4 teams. Would need 5-2 vs the rest to finish 9-9 and make tourney. With 3 home and 4 away. no lock there even- but a good shot
but Marquette would be 1-3. Still have 7 games left with top 4 teams. Would need 7-0 vs the rest to just get to 8-10- and would need 2 then 2 wins from top 4 teams.
now if Marquette wins-
Marquette would be 2-2. Still 7 games left with top 4 teams. Would need 7-0 vs rest and still would need a win vs top 4 teams.
Seton Hall would be 2-2. Still 7 games left with top 4 teams. Would need to go 6-1 vs the rest- with 3 home and 4 away.
I mean if Seton Hall wins tonight, yeah they move up quite a bit. But Marquette falls pretty much off the bubble. If Marquette wins, both are on the bubble, and neither would be what you would say is a likely NCAA birth.
