Just looking
DePaul 6-10
Seton Hall 5-10
Creighton 4-11
Marquette 3-11
games left this week:
Marquette @ Butler
Butler @ DePaul
Creighton @ Seton Hall
Marquette @ Providence
so by Sunday night-
DePaul 6-11 2-0 vs SH, 1-1 vs Cre, 1-0 vs Mar
Creighton 5-11 1-1 vs Dep, 1-1 vs Mar, would be 1-1 vs SH if they beat them on Sat
Seton Hall 5-11 0-2 vs Dep, 1-1 vs Mar, would be 1-1 vs Cre if they lose to them on Sat
Marquette 3-13 0-1 vs Dep, 1-1 vs Cre, 1-1 vs SH
remaining games after that-
Villanova @ Creighton- Creighton goes to 5-12
Providence @ Seton Hall- Seton Hall goes to 5-12
St John's @ Marquette- Marquette goes to 3-14, clinches 10th seed
Seton Hall @ Georgetown- Seton Hall goes to 5-13
DePaul @ Marquette
Xavier @ Creighton
If Xavier beats Creighton, Dep is 6-11, SH is 5-13, Cre is 5-13, and Mar is 3-14 The DePaul/Marquette game would be seeding wise meaningless, and also a preview of the 7/10 game on Wednesday.
Actually in this scenario, this week's Seton Hall/Creighton game is meaningless for 7 and 8 seed. Dep would be 6-11, SH would be 6-12, Cre would be 4-14, and Mar would be 3-14. If Marquette won that game, it would be a tie between Creighton and Marquette for 9th- broken by which one of St John's(Creighton) or Providence(Marquette) finishes higher.
So DePaul is in the drivers seat for 7, Seton Hall is for 8(both primarily just because of previously won games).
