I have no idea when last they got only one bid. They've got at least 3 every year for the last ten, including 5 in 2013 and 6 in 2014.
row_33 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Or due to all the “top” conferences having a year with tons of extra losses for allegedly elite teams, are they going to expand the number of Big 10 and ACC teams in March Madness? might be the first year since the 1970s that conference tournies may mean a thing at all, back then only the winner got to go to the NCAA tournament.
plenzmd1 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 33 and bbb, here is lanardi (sp) latest bracket.only Rhode Island in. That dude is pretty spot on. Spiders out of conference way to much to overcome, Bonnies in conference killing them. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

He’s got 6 Big East teams, more importantly he’s got Xavier starting as a 1 seed in Nashville. THAT would be perfect for me! (And really, what else matters?) The Big East would have two of the #1 seeds as well. Nice!

RPI is way better than anybody else in the conference besides Rhody: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/standings/

Cant lose to the Spiders tomorrow though..they lose, they ain't in without winning the trny 1

I’m sitting in it right now. It’s an $8-10 Uber ride to the arena - walked past it just yesterday. Cheaper than parking, and better for a lot of other reasons too!
Buffalo716 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 A10 was definitely weaker than it has been in a long long time they might only get 1 in. Looks like Bonnie's is the other realistic option if they can hit 21+ wins good RPI , good win (unfortunately ) at Syracuse
row_33 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Just took a more detailed look at the division, yeah probably only Rhode Island gets in plus the conf tourney champ if not them....
YoloinOhio Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 Best team in Ohio: UC, Xavier, or Ohio State?
plenzmd1 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Buck out today, beating the Bonnie’s at home just got a poop load harder. Out 3 days with cramps, that’s freaking weird. Having Ng said that, taking Richmond + 11 for a smidge
Augie Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Villanova is having their way with Butler. Down 8 with 6 minutes left is not usually insurmountable, but it’s Nova. (Yes, this was intended as a jinx.) 1
plenzmd1 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Good win Bonnie. But we all know good teams win, great teams cover 1
row_33 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Boiler down Two crushing last second losses in 3 days
Augie Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Xavier pulls out difficult (and somewhat amazing) win AT Creighton, at the buzzer. The first home loss of the year for the Blue Jays. I had my son record it (I was traveling), but recording ended with 4.6 seconds left and Creighton at the FT line with a shot to tie, and another to go up 1. DANG! Mental error on my part! Miracle ending was caught on twitter. YAY! 1 hour ago, row_33 said: Boiler down Two crushing last second losses in 3 days Happens as soon as everyone says you’ll win out.
row_33 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Rumour out there that a top 5 team at home actually beat an unranked team once this year.... Edited February 11, 2018 by row_33
eball Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Good week for the Heels. Looks like they've regrouped from that 3-game skid nicely. They finish off a 3-games-in-5-days run tomorrow night at home vs. the Irish.
KD in CA Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Rhody may be without EC Matthews for Friday's showdown at SBU.

Augie Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Hoping for a great game Saturday with Villanova at Xavier. Always a rough matchup for X, or generally anyone else... Two top 5 teams. Xavier is #1 in the Big East at the moment. GO MUSKIES!
