Realistic Chance to Dance

[Fishjam]

Our worst loss is DePaul at 109. Realistically perhaps our worst losing performance as well. It helps that Marquette at 111 is the worst ranked BE team in NET. We were hurt two years ago by Georgetown and DePaul going 2-38 combined in BE play.

DePaul (#109) may be the worst team we've lost to but Road games are given far more weight in every metric and team resume. Losing at DePaul is square in the middle of Quad 2 (#76-135). Losing at Home to #81 Butler slides into Quad 3 (#76-160) and is currently our leading blemish.

If we were to lose to DePaul at home tonight then that would become worst loss. Getting swept by a sub-100 team would not look good. Winning tonight does very little for us but it would prevent a bad loss. Its a hold your ground game.

These last 5 games are like golf holes when you need to make up strokes. 3 of the holes are impossible to birdie. Best you can do is par them but a bogey on any of them would be killer. You need to par them to hold ground so you can attempt to Birdie or Eagle your 2 Par 5 opportunity holes.

It is bias the P4 dont want to play them

That was brought up about Miami but they have had really close games that they could have lost in conference. And Lunardi was saying that they could even possibly afford a regular season loss

Chances now a gazillion to 1 of SH not getting into the NCAAs. NIT hopes fading fast.

At 18-9, our NET is #51 now. Not a bomb last night.

Q1: 1-5 (neutral vs #26 NC State).
Q2: 6-2
---------
Q3: 5-2
Q4: 6-0

Last night gave another blemish but it didn’t change the fact we don’t have enough powerhouse wins. Our best win after NC State? Home to Creighton, #73. That is not nearly good enough.

Need Butler (#80) to play well. Root for them. Need to get them above #75 to become a Q1 road win and get a Q3 loss off our log. Providence finding itself could help top (#83). Unlikely for both.

Remaining games:

Saturday vs. #94 Georgetown
Following Saturday at #10 Connecticut
Tues 3/3 at #97 Xavier
Fri 3/6 vs. #24 St. John’s

Go sweep. While carrying one of the worst shooting teams in America. Good luck!

I have to think that there is a much more realistic chance we lose all 4 remaining games than win all 4.

If the bet was win all or lose all, I’d go lose too. We can’t string enough offense together.

Way to stay positive.

Yes, but not in the volume you want or need to consume.
