[NU Sports] The Big Dance

[Eric Kunkel]

All bets may be off as St. Bonaventure pushed its way in past Xavier.? If they squeak in I'll be happy, but how we lose to Minnesota in a spot like that puts them at a severe disadvantage to the Selection Committee,? So close...? Eric

CBS just posted Palm's latest projections: 
 
Last 4 in: Colo St, Ole Miss, N'western, USF. 1st 4 out: Seton Hall, Miami,  
Iona, Drexel http://t.co/46akiGvO 
 
Lunardi has really had a change of heart overnight and dropped us far down.  Not  
sure what Iona did yesterday during their day off to jump us in his view or why  
he moved Miami ahead of us last night after their loss. 
 
I still can't see Seton Hall making the tournament over us, but the consensus  
seems to be that the Big East is getting 9 or 10 in.  I also see little  
justification for West Virginia as a lock when their resume is really not that  
different than ours...too bad the committee only factors in their 10 point loss  
to Kent St and not their defeat at home to Div 2 Northern KY...

thing had they beaten Minnesota Thursday. They might not even have had to do the  
play-in game - so we could say they'd have made it even in a field of 64,  
before the tourney was artificially inflated. But backing into a play-in game  
after tanking it in Indy...I'm desperate for a tourney bid, but they just  
don't deserve it.
