IMO. Absolutely need to beat Xavier and Marquette, and split the Nova/Grown. We need help too. That D2 win is biting us in the arse, useless game

Need help?  Please!  #37 RPI rating and #31 SOS.  The Johnnies control their own destiny. 

2-2 and a win in the Big East tournament will put the Johnnies in.  3-1, and we'll be in prior to the start of the Big East tournament.

 

Yeah we need 3 more wins total, which I think is what pretty much everyone has been saying. Problem is I do not see us beating Nova or Gtown. So that means we HAVE to beat Xavier which will be a tough game again than take care of business vs Marquette. That would make our 1st BET game a play in. So basically a lot of work to do.

I don't see us beating Villanova, but I do see us winning next Saturday versus G'town.  I have us going 10-8 to finish out the conference season.

IMO, we'll be fine by the time the Big East tournament starts.   ;)

Right about now is when the team should be kicking themselves for DePaul and Creighton games

They'd be just about a tourney lock today with those 2 wins. Man those really do hurt.

I don't regret the Depaul game as we had all our players and just lost a close one to a team having a beyond exceptional day from the line.

It's the home Butler and road Creighton losses that I regret.  There's no way of knowing, but I feel we win these two with Savior playing or playing more than 7 minutes, respectively.

I think to make the dance (and not be sweating on selection Sunday)we need one of the following :

A. 1 win against Villanova or Georgetown; or

B.  Win against Marquette and win in BE Tourney

So you think if we beat Gtown and lose our next 2 in conference and lose 1st game in Be tourney we make it? No way

Agreed.  Might just be that as long as we beat Marquette we're in, but the extra win would make it much more comfortable.

22 wins any which way and we are in, and in decent shape. 21 just get in 20 and we need major help.

You got it Kid. These two scenarios are our tickets to the dance.

We are so close now I can taste it.

Agreed, need 2 more. Get the Georgetown and Marquette games. I want to relax @ Nova and in the B.E. Tourny. After that beating Nova would be Butter.
