Rutgers could have a good year next year. Think this time off for carter will do wonders for both Myles Mack and rutgers heading into next year.

This pays for a lot of term papers and fines for wayward players;

3,500 at game last night. It appears Coach W. is really on edge. Can't blame him with injuries, but I just don't see him having recruiting capability to turn program around.

Pulling for UConn, would love to see Cincy implode;

Best game: Cincinnati at Connecticut (7 p.m., ESPN). Connecticut hasn't been getting the attention it deserves this season, primarily because it can't make the NCAA tournament. But the Huskies would be a sure-fire at-large team if they were eligible, and therefore would be a nice win for Cincinnati on Thursday. Surprisingly, the Bearcats are in 10th place in the Big East, and need to finish strong. After Thursday, they still have to go to Notre Dame and Louisville, and host the Huskies next weekend. Sean Kilpatrick and Cashmere Wright need to find consistency in their jumpers.

“@jeffborzello: No marquee games tonight, but a bunch of games with at-large implications: Cincy/UConn, Oregon/Cal, La Salle/Temple: http://cbsprt.co/ZujVcD”

Right now they have a record of 19-7 & 7-6 in the big east with a RPI of 42, SOS of 31. They have 2 games against UCONN, @Notre Dame, @ Louisville & USF. With some luck maybe there is a chance they can fall into the bubble

exactly

They are a solid, well coached team but they are offensively challenged.  If they run into a hot shooting team, they can be taken out early.

They haven't scored 70 against a good team since November.  Can't win the tourney like that.  Probably can't get to the second weekend.  Also great BE defense often becomes foul trouble in the dance.  Need the scoring to balance that out.

“@NeillOstrout: #UConn 37, Cincinnati 34 at the half. Napier with 11 for Huskies. Wright 10 for Bearcats.”

I think  Cincy is wearing UConn down however.

Your not a fan of weaveare you? Cincy offense make STJ's   look good

Bearcats blew a big chance tonight. A lot of one on one crap and chucking. They remind me of a Jarvis team.

I think Cincy is still OK because their non-conference is good.  Wins over Iowa St, Oregon and Xavier really help.  But this is a bad stretch from them.  4 losses in 5 games.

9-9 should be enough to get them in.  Kind of reminds me of UCONN 2 years ago.  Remember before their post season run UCONN was 9-9 in the regular season.

I'm not sure Fordham.  They are .500 now in Big East play and with their schedule and the way they are playing they could conceivably fall below SJU and Nova depending on how both teams play down the stretch.  If they crap the bed late in big east season, I'm not sure some decent OOC wins early in the year will save them.  NCAA awards teams that perform down the stretch.

Cinci needs to finish horribly to not make it. They have a lot of strong wins. Do they have it in them? Let's hope so.

They have USF at home, win.   Steal one other.

UCONN went 8-10 last year and made it.

And not sure why you are rooting so hard against Cincy, the stronger they are the stronger SJU's road win over them looks.

As for collapses go look at Nova's finish 2 years ago.

They were 9-5 in the Big East.  Proceeded to lose 5 straight to end the season.  Lost 4 straight to end the regular season and then lost to a horrible S Florida team in the first round of the BE Tournament.  Made the NCAA's as a 9 seed, in other words they weren't even a bubble team made it with ease....

Then proceeded to lose to George Mason in the 1st round to lose 6 straight to end the season.

I suppose you're right.  They have the quantity/quality wins.  They just have had a real rough stretch.
