Got to give you credit Marillac on your touting of BG after we played them. If I recall they were picked something like 6th in their conference and if they have won 10 in a row they are obviously much better than that. Don't get to cocky though cause I still think some of your opinions are wack (but not all of them).  ;)

I can't take too much credit because I think it was obvious to anyone that knew the sport that were surprisingly good. Tough matchup in a second game for a team like us.

They have #14 Buffalo in a few games...let's hope they can steal it and bolster both of our NET rankings.

I’m happy to keep making money of weak BG lines. They were -1 today I believe

Yessir. May not have been the worst for us since a win would have put VCU in a position to leap us shortly. We are in the unique position of wanting them to be a quad 1 but also not wanting them to have a better overall resume than us.

Princeton is really surprising me. I didn’t think they would play this well after dismissing their top scorer.

BG was a rock solid older team w a stud in Wiggins that should continue to help our resume.

Rutgers beat Northwestern on the road last night. Ga Tech lost by 8 to #22 Va Tech on the road and VCU won again.

Time to cheer for VCU to lose since they’ve passed us in all the metrics. They were #43 in the NET before the win last night.

If we finish 8-8 in league play, do you believe we will get a bid?

I think you mean 9-9, but I believe we are 100% in at .500.

That's silly.  We want every team we play to win every game that isn't against us.  The better they are, the better the wins (and losses) look.  For example, Creighton's recent slide just cost us a quad 1 win.

What do we root for when two teams we played play each other? A plane crash?

VCU is now direct competion. Its not as clear as hoping they win every game. Imagine we miss the tournament or get bounced to a bad region by then? Certainly possible.

You're smart enough to figure this one out on your own.

It's just as clear.  We beat VCU.  The better VCU is, the better our resume is.  You know, that beastly non-conf resume you always refer to ;)
