BE tourney thread Marquette

If they aren’t selected for the dance, it may be The Crown tournament in Las Vegas rather than the NIT. A possible matchup with UC?

Very disappointing to see them lose a big lead again but it has happened before & painful to Watch again. After 31 games you think they could have figured it out by now. Still can only play 7 players. Hate to pick on any of the 7 as they all make mistakes but Hugley can only play a couple minutes. Whatever NIL he is getting is too much for pretty much being a spectator & the Green thng is still troubling. Can’t get too excited about a new LOSERS TOURNAMENT replacing the NOBODY IINTERESTED TOURNAMENT. Note I do not think X’s players are losers they gave it their all today & got beat by a better team. Maybe they will still make it in like some are saying if not I hope they have a good time in Vegas. I will not be going & may not even watch it

barring any major bubble teams making a run, I DO think we are in the field, most likely playing in Dayton.

the issue on the committee are the power conference AD's/commissioners not wanting to share revenue from the tourney with non-football conferences so the Big East is basically getting "screwed" so if Xavier doesn't get in, you can point to that as the SOLE reason why and not because they didn't deserve it.

21 wins in the BE with ZERO bad losses = NCAA Tourney every single year. we deserve to be IN.

Praying we get in, but our resume is very flimsy.

Not many good wins. Big East is way down this year unfortunately, which has hurt our metrics big time.

I think Sean should go back to the suit coat. Works for Rick! Did what X couldn't do which was beat Marquette and they did it with ease

[Kevin Reilly]

Joe Lunardi has us in. For what it's worth he's rarely wrong. Hope we have some SEC size front court players coming in. Just watched the Auburn Tennessee game. What a war. Great game

[gym from delhi]

Lunardi still has X in

[Kevin Reilly]

I'm not sure if we deserve a bid but if we do than we can thank North Carolina's Ven Allen Lubin and his double clutching on the Free Throw line vs Duke at the end of the game. I haven't seen Boise State play and to me Both Texas and Indiana aren't very good so We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Lunardi’s 410 update has X as the last team in

[Kevin Reilly]

We play Texas. They are beatable but Texas is used to tough games. Happy we made it.
