Did you see the graphic last night that had us as an 11 seed? It was an error, I guess, as the panel kept saying we were "definitely out."

 

[Halldan]

As I see it we must win Friday and maybe twice more in the tournament. Otherwise we would have to run the table at MSG.

It all starts Friday. Bagged that Q1. Get nearly a week off again then make noise.

Let’s just get to Friday night at MSG with the win against SJU in our pocket and see what happens.

 

[Hall Berry]

Agreed, Piratz! BTW, Providence (#75 NET) results in our road win against them teetering between a Quad 1 and Quad 2 win. So, in your scenario, Piratz, if we beat SJU on Friday, I think it will be also imperative down the stretch to Selection Sunday that the Providence road win remain a Quad 1 win! So, go Friars!

I had Providence 5th in my league ranking Sunday. Not everyone agreed. But of all our potential opponents, despite the regular season results, they are the team I would least want to play.

Well, damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm going to root for them to win their final two regular season games, so they hopefully settle in comfortably above the #75 cut-line and our win in Providence remains a Quad 1 win.

And then just hope they don't go below the #75 cut-line if Providence ends up being the team we play (and beat) next Thursday.
