St. John’s will get in as long as Buffalo, Washington, Utah St, and Houston (Or Cincy) get auto bids.

If those 4 conferences listed give us bid stealers on these last two days before the selection show, big trouble for sju

Yep, St. John's is not safe by any means. Bracket Matrix has us as the second to last team in (though, we could pass Temple in the next update). If a couple more teams steal bids tomorrow, then our chances on Selection Sunday would be 50-50 at best.

I think everyone on this board can agree it's criminal that the A10 (and WCC) will get 2 bids. Even worse, the MW and Pac 12 could get 3 teams each. If Pac 12 gets 3 bids after their atrocious performance, that'd be a shame.

If you had told me end of OOC play that, I'd have said for WCC I totally could see them getting 2. They're right there with the Pac 12(in RPI, only .0004 separates them). It's crazy after the OOC that the A10 had that they're going to get 2, but VCU was really good in the OOC play. With a couple of really good wins there.

The MWC and Pac 12 possibly getting 3 in? Insanity.

Looks like 4. Good thing Memphis and Wichita both lost. Johnnies tooting hard for Washington.

And it looks like SLU will go dancing if they can beat the Bonnies tomorrow.

True about the WCC, they had a solid OOC. I just meant that nobody aside from Gonzaga really stood out in that conference during the entire year.

Fortunately the MWC won't get 3. Now just need Washington to take down Oregon...

Agreed with the WCC. But them getting a 2nd isn't the end of the world...

You'd hope if Oregon wins that the team that gets bumped and designated as 1st team out is Arizona St.

Although, I personally kind of like Lunardi's better- the team that he has getting bumped would be NC State. Never gets old seeing an ACC team bumped out for me.

Oregon is trying to steal a bid. Up 11 at the 12 minute mark in the second half. The Pac 12 really sucks. I'll be sick if they get 3 bids.

I really hope the committee does not put Arizona St in. This atrocious conference does not deserve a bid. Not a single team in that conference had a good OOC.

Put in St. John's, Temple, NC State, Ohio St, etc over them. Any other bubble team.
