Big East Tournament

No way we win the Big East or even make a real run at anything. But we're fans so we root for it anyway. And there is a path that favors our chances that is well within reach.

If we draw Marquette and beat them we play Xavier. We haven't played that poorly against Xavier losing by 7 to them I believe on the road. Then there's a chance we play either Seton Hall or Creighton. If we draw Seton Hall, we have a chance, Creighton could be interesting with how much they slaughtered us by. This is all a fantasy within a dream sequence but let me enjoy it.

My question is, let's say we shock Providence (or even if we don't) if Marquette beats Butler and Xavier beats Creighton. It puts Creighton, Butler, and Marquette in a 3 way tie. Who would be the 7 seed in that scenario?

Those three teams would be considered a mini-conference, and there cumulative records against the other two schools is first tiebraker.  I don't have the time to check who wins that.

Listen, all I'm saying is if we make it to the semi finals we aint losing the tournament.

Just think, if it weren't for the way Norm Roberts developed his last senior class many young Saint John's fans would not have ever experienced the thrill of a BE tournament win. Thanks Norm.

If it weren't for Jim Burr and Tim Higgins deciding to not do their jobs in the final few seconds of regulation we may not have had that thrill either.
