OOC Performance. How will it effect Selection Sunday?

[Xuperman]

The Big East sits at 42-16 overall to start Turkey Day '22. Creighton has been the only team to get any big time scalps to this point, so the PK games in the next 3 days will be highly significant.

Barring a major positive shift in the W/L% for the remaining OOC, I fear the At Large resumes for our top 5-6 teams will not be strong enough to warrant the 5-6 bids we are used to.

That said, IF things continue to be mediocre, I think there needs to be less of the usual conference bloodbath and more of a clear separation between the top 5-6 and the lower 5-6.

In other words, hopefully teams like BU, MU DU don't string together multiple upsets and let's say PC, SHU or SJU ends up drastically underperforming.

Without a very strong finish OOC....a group of teams bunched up around 10 conference wins will equal far too many NIT invites for the BEast, IMO.

How do y'all see it?

Unfortunately I do not expect 5-6 bids this year. Feels like 3-4 this year.

This next week will determine if it will be 3-4 or 4-5 bids imo. I think 6-7 is probably out of the question now.

Creighton, UConn, Xavier. Who else?

Any and all 20 win Big East teams will certainly have a good shot....21+ win teams are a solid yes.

If not, the conference is heading in the wrong direction as far as National optics and the "P6" narrative takes a hit. 21+ win teams that don't go dancing come from Leagues like the American or the A10.

Well right now I think you have to add St John’s, Nova and Seton Hall If you’re going to put X in with CU and UCONN, look at Kenpom:

32 Xavier
33 Seton Hall
34 Villanova
35 St. John's

Not sure how you can say we don’t have 6 in at this point.

If you look at all the other leagues as a whole, we are doing just as good or better than everyone but the Big 10. I think we are looking at five right now but it’s really way to early.

In Massey we’re at 4 ever so slightly behind SEC, and ahead of ACC and PAC… just about the same as every year

it really is. Need to get finished with these next 2 weeks and then have a better idea of the limits.

Agree we are about normal for this point in the season, even with Nova & X tanking. 5-6 bids.
We'd have to go t_ts up and lose all 24 remaining games, in order to see/be a 3-4 league.

C'mon Nova & Xavier...Let's go!
Xav vs Zags is huge. Let's go Muskies!!
