yeah just looking at the remaining schedule- Marquette would need to go 5-2 to make it. That would hand St John's 2 losses, DePaul 1, and Georgetown 1. But then it would hand either Seton Hall a home loss, or Creighton a loss(either home or away). So for Marquette to make it- it would ding Seton Hall or Creighton at a point where they can't afford to have many more dings(I would say especially Creighton). 21-9 would be a 31 RPI, 20-10 would be a 40.4 RPI. Yeah- that big of a difference.
One thing that will be fun to see is I think on Saturday they're doing that sweet 16 reveal like they did last year. It'll be interesting to see what the committee says about Xavier and Nova.. Does Nova get the #1 overall seed, and does Xavier get the 4th 1 seed. Does the committee view Butler, Creighton, or Seton Hall in top 4 range right now?
