Win and Nova makes the NCAA tourney. Lose and we've got work to do next week.

Any chance we can call in a favor to our friends in Omaha? You don't need this one and you'd generate a lot of good will in Philly and probably the league office.

[kayako]

Four games on Fox I hope we get good games.

Fwiw, credit to Cooley’s squad for battling today at MSG. I thought this would be a blowout, but Pitino has his hands full.

ehh- Creighton needs this game to keep a 3 seed likely and be able to avoid a 1 seed until regional final. And also get the 2 seed in the BET instead of 3.

St John's now big Nova fans. A Nova win and they clinch 5th seed I think Win 2 way tie with Nova and 3 way tie they also win with PC.

Am i the only one thinking we should tap the brakes on St Johns? I know the media wants so badly to make them a story and they have had a nice win streak since Pitino called them out, BUT, 3 of those wins were against Georgetown and Depaul and the other against now struggling Butler. The record is what it is and if they hold on to the 5th seed more power to them. However why are they a"lock" over Nova and PC? I see al 3 of them in same boat yet if you listen to broadcasters during and between the games you'd think SJU just blew out UConn and Marquette on the road

Hot start for the Jays. Not quite Wragge hot, but pretty good.

better record than Nova. 2 more Q1/2 wins than PC right now.

I don't think they're a lock over them- but I thnk they have a easier path where they are than Nova or Providence. St John's basically needs win over Seton Hall to clinch. PC needs either win over UConn or do damage in BET. Nova needs either in over Creighton or do damage in BET. I know which one I'd take.

[kayako]

I was fairly certain Creighton wins today.... and of course 10-0 Creighton. 2 wins in the BET required for Nova, but I want to see them at least put up a fight and not get blown out at home today.
