As we stand right now, Lunardi is on the money. I think we are looking at 6 teams getting in with a chance at 7 at least partly because other conferences are so down - Big 10 (outside of the top 3, it is basically a dumpster fire); Pac12 ( what a mess) and the American (they add Wichita and currently look like they will only get one more team in than last year; even with Wichita they are closer to 2 spots than they are 4).

Absolutely love Seton Hall's draw here (with the exception of locations). I think the Hall could do better than a 5 seed, but Clemson as a 4 doesn't scare me at all and Michigan State looks to be the most vulnerable of the 1 seeds at the moment. I could definitely see the Pirates coming out of that bracket.

Might be wrong but I think I remember this guy ragging on the Big East the past 5 years... now he's a homer:

7 bids out of 10 schools, two years in a row is all-time stuff as far as conferences go.

Tonight CU walk-on Jordan Scurry was awarded a full scholarship. I believe he's a Providence native.

Nova is just dominating again. I see them probably going 16-2 at this point at worst. X is a distant second.

We'll see. Nova has only played one decent team on the road so far in conference and they lost. They still have at Marquette, Providence, Xavier, Creighton and Seton Hall. On top of that they still play Providence, Creighton, Seton Hall and Butler at home. They'll almost assuredly end up winning the conference but I think they'll lose another couple games from the above group.

This is what I am thinking as well. Nova has earned the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but think they are going to drop 3-4 games before the season is done.
