Think we are absolutely in provided we take care of business against PSU.
Wonder about Big East now. Marquette doesn’t seem deserving.
STOP IT...Marquette is a 6-8 seed depending on what shakes out

Five of us on this board could beat Georgetown given the circumstances. They rallied and gave Seton Hall their best shot tonight and fell short. Absolutely no chance they play anything resembling inspired basketball on Saturday.Xavier MUST BEAT Georgetown or they are OUT
First round exit. Very overrated. If they are a 6 would bet the house on the 11. Michigan v Marquette who wins??STOP IT...Marquette is a 6-8 seed depending on what shakes out
And Xavier will be even worseFive of us on this board could beat Georgetown given the circumstances. They rallied and gave Seton Hall their best shot tonight and fell short. Absolutely no chance they play anything resembling inspired basketball on Saturday.
They're at home playing for their lives. Georgetown is down and out. I'll bet anything X wins by 12+.And Xavier will be even worse

They did not have close to the quad 1 wins that we have I believe.I remember Nebraska being highly seeded one year and not getting in, but maybe that was in a dream lol
We already beat Michigan out. They don’t need to lose.If we win against Penn State.....Ohio St, Iowa, and Mich lose 1 more game each...we are the 4 seed in the big ten tournament? I wonder if the double bye would somehow hurt us, or beating PSU would make it a moot point.
That’s the only negative of the night.hello Texas A&M you are sliding into legit bubble status
Marquette hasn’t been good either. Very interestingXavier has been atrocious, never say never. They have lost how many in a row...5 and 7 of 8
in the distance nowhere close to RUThat’s the only negative of the night.
I was playing with the mred big ten tournament seed calculator. If we beat Penn State and both Iowa and Ohio State lose one more game each, I cannot find a scenario where we are not the 4 seed.If we win against Penn State.....Ohio St, Iowa, and Mich lose 1 more game each...we are the 4 seed in the big ten tournament?

Marquette is in alreadyAnd Xavier and Marquette maybe punching their exits.
Why? They have not been good for a month. DePaul may get themMarquette is in already
They were like a 7 seed before tonight. It’s going to be tough for them to fall that far.Why? They have not been good for a month. DePaul may get them
Marquette has lost 5 of 8 and just lost to DePaul by double digits.
By all rights should be on the bubble. No longer automatic. No longer high seed. Should be below RU!

UNLV hosting Wyoming on FS1....A UNLV win helps anyone on the bubble.....
Not surprising at all. DePaul has been decent all year. Marcus Liberty missed 5-6 games in the middle of the year and they forfeited 2 losses because of Covid. BAC called it a bad loss early but at the time we were playing them they were playing well before Covid hit them. They have also lost a bunch of closes games to the top of the league without their best players. Missing Jones a few games as well( the guy who hit 5 threes against us. ).DePaul knocked of Marquette by 11. Crazy.
Yes but they literally didn’t beat anyone. RU has 6 Q1 wins now which is incredible.I remember Nebraska being highly seeded one year and not getting in, but maybe that was in a dream lol

One thing I cannot stand is people do not take into account when you beat someone . Did you beat them when they were on a winning streak ( MSU) and put them on their downward spiral , as compared to beating a team in the middle of a losing streak or playing hurt and losing one or more of their starters and a team gets a win. Big Difference in my opinion.
Also , something that definitely needs to be fixed in the NET. If you beat the team when they are legitimately ranked , when they were all healthy , and they stumble outside Quad 1 later ( MSU) , it should still be a Quad 1. This calling it a Quad 1 at the end is ridiculous. Beating Duke now as compared to earlier in the year, is not the same. Beating ranked teams back to back to back to back has to be weighed more heavily. So many things wrong with the NET. Only good thing is that a human decides who the best at large teams are not the NET. It is a sorting tool and maybe a factor to look at when 2 teams are very close in your evaluation.
Pet Peeve. Should be 7-5 in Quad 1. When we beat MSU they were # 13 and were on a winning streak and had just gone into Wisconsin and won by 10. They were Quad 1 at that time and it should be counted as such. Because they are down to 40 now after the grueling BIG 10 should not devalue the 21 point beat down. It should be worth more not less. That feature of the NET has to be fixed. Teams get injuries , lose key players and are not the same team. We beat 5 ranked teams when they were playing like top 10-15 teams ( Purdue as # 1 , MSU as # 13, Ohio State as # 16, Wisconsin as # 14 and Illinois as # 12. ). This is the top 16 of the NET not 25-30 , which should also be valued more. Need to correct this metric if it is still going to be used.We are 1 of 17 teams with 6 or more Q1 wins
Baylor 12-4
Iowa St 9-6, Kansas 9-5
Gonzaga 8-3, Wisconsin 8-3
Tenn, Bama 7-7, UK, Nova 7-6, Purdue 7-5, Auburn 7-4(2nite 8-4)
Texas Tech, Marquette 6-7, TCU 6-6, Ariz 6-3
Arkansas win vs LSU, 6-4, Rutgers win, 6-5
We are also 8-5 vs top 50, with Mich St and Mich wins.
The only one that would worry me is LSU as they are super athletic and crash the offensive glass. Had 20 offensive rebounds at Arkansas tonight. I agree about any of the others. We are better than them.RU is likely going to be stuck in that first four or 11 spots....I could see 6s like LSU, Alabama, Boise State, St Marys, Iowa State. Would love any of those matchups
