I think I'd be a little worried, if I were a Pirate fan. I think they are going to need some BET games.


They'll need to do some work in the BET for sure if they lose out. RPI Forecast has them entering the BET with a 40 RPI if they finish 1-3 - which means just surviving the Wednesday game should be enough to get them in and may not even be completely necessary (though I certainly wouldn't want to go into selection Sunday having lost 4 of 5 including 1 and done in the BET).

Regardless of if they get in or not, this season is still a major disappointment for a team that was expected to challenge for the league title.

1 problem is if they lose rd 1 of the BET, that would almost certainly be vs DePaul. Just looking, giving them a win over Butler(best shot at a win of the games remaining I think), and then losing 1st rd to DePaul- puts the Seton Hall RPI at 49 at 19-13. Adding in 3 more tier 1 losses- making them only 3-9 vs tier 1. Might get some help in Creighton and Providence home games becoming tier 1- but then while 5-9 vs tier 1, only 2-2 vs tier 2.

Howard is doubtful for Marquette. Tough break.

However, like we read 2 weeks ago, they play way way better defense when only 1 of their 2 M+R guards is on the floor, while their offense pretty much stays just as effective.

In their Creighton win, it played out like this. Down 16 or whatever, but their defense got better after the injury.

Meanwhile, i don't know what to think about PC vs The Hall. We got crushed in Newark.

It's a difficult one to predict because for both teams, it really depends on which one shows up. They've both looked really good and really bad this year depending on the game. Both have a lot of potential, but both are maddeningly inconsistent. I legitimately feel like this game has even odds of being a blowout either way or a triple OT thriller. Absolutely no idea what's gonna happen.

Tough decision to make at Providence. But it's the right one. Hopefully they can finish this game another day.

What happens now? Does the game get played? Does it become FINAL?

It'll be picked up where they left off at a later date. Would've been nice if they made the call before Desi got hurt.

Remainder of the game postponed due to moisture on the court.
