Up to the minute the standing are:
1) Nova (14-2)
2) Georgetown (11-6)
3) Butler (11-6)
4) Providence (10-6)
5) St. Johns (9-7)
If Providence beats SH tomorrow there will be a 3 way tie for 2nd.
This weekend Butler plays Providence while Georgetown plays SH.
So if the favorites win out and there are no upsets, we will play the loser of the Butler / Providence game.
I see us playing the Bulldogs, as I believe Providence will end up finishing in 2nd, while G'town and Butler rounds out 3rd and 4th, respectively.
I think Butler probably would worry me the most out of the three.
Also, I can't just throw out that Georgetown killed us barely 2 weeks ago. Too fresh in my memory.
Beating a team 3 times is difficult, but we have providence's number. Georgetown has the size and athleticism to match up with us. They can block shots and take the ball away from us. And they have the ability to kill us on the boards. No other team outside of Villanova has that type of game in them. Doesn't always come out, but they can be a bad matchup.
Providence is never a bad matchup, it's just a question of if we play well that day
I'm not one who thinks G'town is a bad matchup for us. Hence, why I truly felt we would beat them a few days ago. Our quickness and length can create some tough assignments, as well.
I agree Providence doesn't particularly worry me. Even more so, considering we handled 'em both games. Personally, I just hate having to beat a team 3 or more times in one season.
It's looking like we're going to get Butler, if things go accordingly. They beat us at home without Jordan and hammered us at Butler.
They wouldn't be the team I'd initially pick to play in the first game, but I do feel we can beat 'em.
