Feels like the top 4 are almost locks to make the NCAAT, but our max is 5 teams this year unless someone shockingly wins the BET.

Seton Hall has a shot. There are so many opportunities remaining vs. the top five in the league, and at least one or two of the bottom five will probably be a Quad 1 road game. They'd also have to avoid pitfalls against some of the bottom of the league too, so it's not an easy path, but it's doable.

No one else deserves a mention besides them.

Don't count out Creighton just yet. 4-3 with all three road losses to the top of the league : Marquette (Kalk didn't play), to U Conn ( close game til the end lose by 9), and three point loss to Xavier( Miller said it was their best game of the year- I agree it was a helluva game from both sides).

Also, Creighton's home wins were all double digit over Seton Hall, Butler, and De Paul. The one exception yesterday's 6 pt win over Providence.

Oh sorry, I misread his "top 4" as "top 5," because I've always been thinking in terms of five teams, then Seton Hall, then not gonna make the tournament.

Top 25 in both kenpom and NET. Creighton's not getting left out if the tourney started today.

I think there will be 4 ranked teams today. Amazing comeback by the league.

B10 crushed us ooc but only 2 teams.

Hah- that's pretty ironic.

I think Big East may still have 4 ranked teams tomorrow despite 3/4 teams losing this week.

Deserved IMO since we have 4 top 25 NET teams (just swap Creighton for Providence).

Mountain West is looking kinda crazy, too. SDSU + 3 teams right near the cutoff line, and Utah State is hanging around as well. Bubble followers will be watching this conference.
