March 3, 201214 yr Author If Marquette hangs on to beat GTown the Cats will get the 4 seed and double bye in the Big East Tournament...
March 3, 201214 yr Marquette beats Georgetown 83-69. So UC will likely face the #5 seed in the quarters, which I'm assuming is Georgetown?

March 4, 201214 yr 12 wins in the conference for the Bearcats; figured this would be close being in Philly.
March 4, 201214 yr I hate to play the what if game but this team is an ot loss to Marshall, last second shot to Presbyterian, (both without Parker or Mbodj being healthy) last second tip in by St Johns, horrible no call tech ot loss to west va, and last second fts away from sitting at 27-4 right now instead of 22-9. Yancy and Dion really stepped up today but it was Cash filling the stat sheet in every category and late big shots by SK and Parker that hwlped lead this team to the W. UC is currently in the 8/9 game. Will be interesting to see what a few wins at MSG could propel them to.

Ultimately I have to believe they would have been much better served to not schedule some of those sub-300 RPI teams for their non-conference games early on and instead have scheduled some respectable 100-150 range RPI teams. Of course, you need to win those games, but a loss in those games probably wouldn't have hurt any more so than beating a 300 RPI team (or losing to one). UC dumps a couple of those opponents, replaces them with and beats a couple of decent teams, and they could be looking at a 5 seed or so, maybe better. Great finish to the regular season by Cronin and his team.

Hopefully Whit and company make much needed improvements in that area going forward. I am hearing a big name regional home and home is in the works with the first game at 5/3 next season so that's a start...

Or are you talking about first home game of the season? Any hints???? I'm assuming Indiana since Mick has said in the past that he and Crean are good friends and have been in talks for a while about scheduling eachother.

They are playing a holiday tournament in Vegas over Thanksgiving. Iowa State to open and then either UNLV or Oregon. No hints yet. I'm guessing it would be a December game on ESPN...
