Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

so it's tomorrow. Right now looks like Marquette would be a lock. Think Xavier and UConn are both very possible, but not locks. Creighton is possible, but not as likely. Will be fun to see.

It would certainly be impressive for the conference if we landed 3 teams in this thing.

Either way, landing at least 5 members in the NCAAT this year will make a positive statement for the BE.

yeah- and possibly with 5 with good chances of advancing. Quite possibly none in the 7-10 pit of misery.

What time?

12:30 I think on CBS.

FWIW College Gameday crew voted their predictions for the 16 reveal and we got 3 (10) Marquette, 3 (12) UCONN and 4(13) Creighton in this morning.

I doubt Creighton is ahead of X right now. X is 11-6 in Q1&2 while CU is 8-8. Jays metrics are better but quality wins are more important.

I think it's closer than you think. X is 5-5 Q1 vs 4-6 for Creighton. 6 wins vs NCAA tourney teams for X to 5 for Creighton. It would be a surprise to me, but it wouldn't be a shocker to me.

I'm not saying it's not close, just saying X is more likely to be in the reveal than CU.

I could see CU in over X- if they say that some of Creighton's losses were due to who wasn't there.... (and yes, I know Wednesday with Xavier). Creighton just has more of those.
