Again, Seton Hall beat the #1 team in the country and followed that up with two top 10 or top 15 wins right after that with Creighton and Marquette. There are not too many schools in the country that have the conf resume that the Hall has. They are in barring some unforeseen scenario where every AQ is some bottom feeder from their given conference and well, that is not happening.

St. John's is very close but they HAVE to win this game against the Hall on Thursday, no ifs, ands or buts. If they don't win they will still be close but they will get knocked out of a spot, guaranteed.

Johnnies need to bring their A game on Thursday at 2:30. No other way around it. We have to beat our cross river nemesis for once!!! Then we going dancin!

I don't think it would have mattered- on the bracketville thing they were a distant 50 today.

They are sure gonna be fun for some poor 5 seed.

If Indiana State is a sitting duck, it looks like bid stealing situation is rather simple... just root for Dayton & FAU. Well, other than an unlikely P6 or MWC team winning its conference tournament. Theoretically frees up as many as 3 spots. BE bubble teams should probably root against each other, though.

Oklahoma/TCU - loser is probably safe outside of a wild sequence of bubble related results
ND/Wake
G-Town/Providence
AF/New Mexico
Kansas State/Texas
DePaul/Nova

The last 5 games are do-or-die situations, so hopefully we get a couple of good results for the conference.
