Wait, is Ponds playing?

Can’t you say the same thing about all the other teams you just mentioned?
Seton Hall and Butler both lost close games to Georgetown that they should have won. Creighton let one get away at home to your guys in a close game. Providence blew one at home to DePaul. Those teams can all say, “If only we hadn’t let that one get away.”
Seems to me that you’ve got to take the good with the bad in this league.

Big difference though is the Marquette loss to DePaul might easily cost them an NCAA tourney bid.

Yes but I'm not a fan of those other teams
And to reiterate what Stever said the only one that truly costs anything is the loss to Depaul.

I doubt it, but you could say the same thing about Providence.

Y'all were able to offset that loss with signature wins against the big teams in the conference this year. We were not, I think that if someone blindly stared at our wins and losses you'd be in over us simply because of Nova and X while we just swept Creighton and Seton Hall. So no I do not think it's threatened you as much as it's threatened us.

Exactly. So the problem is not the DePaul loss but the failure to come up with a signature win. Missed opportunities against X and VU at home.
I think that your guys are going to the tournament regardless. Just don’t blow another one to DePaul.
