NCAA Tourney in yet??

Let's made this discussion a moot point tomorrow. The six non conference losses. The current RPI of those teams -- UConn #1, Creighton #20, Quinnipiac #39, Virginia #50, Georgia Tech #55, Toledo #67. As a whole none of these are horrid losses. Throw in a win over #24 Texas A & M. Now, does it hurt that there were six non conference losses or does the committee look at how UD has turned it around?

Conference is ranked #12 - not good. Losses to GW #52, Fordham #123, La Salle #170. Duquesne is #128 so how would a loss to them affect the decision?

UD overall strength of schedule #57 in their favor. I think they're already in personally. Thank goodness none of the non conference losses were dreadful though at the time I'm sure we felt some of them were.

Thoughts???

Charlie Creme has GW in his last four in even after loss to DUQ so if they are in then you'd think Dayton is too.

Three from the A-10 would surprise me. I'm shocked GW is still in despite a decent RPI of #52.

If Duquesne wins, one of UD and GW isnt getting in. League isnt good enough. The fact that we won the #1 seed in the regular season, split with GW, and got to the A10 finals and they didnt seems to make UD's case. Our SOS, Non-Con SOS are all slightly better.

Against Top-100 UD is 4-7, GW is 3-6. Obviously our RPI is better, even with a loss tomorrow it would remain so.

Its also conceivable neither UD and GW gets in if they dont win. The committee will do whatever they want.

I like the Duq matchup however more than SJU. SJU is like GW -- pulling teeth. Dukes are a better offensive team and way more athletic than SJU, but as they have a higher ceiling they also have a lower bottom. They are streaky. Our length may help us more against them than SJU had. I also trust SJUs perimeter dribble penetration defense more than Duquesnes. The Dukes sometimes overcommit and leave some gaps.

If we outrebound Duq and have more assists than TOs, we win. Do not leave anything to chance. Pull the lever yourself.

Way too close to think that you might not need to win. Win the game and let everyone else sweat it out.

I think that the foul problems have forced players to rest more than they might have otherwise. I didn't think that they looked even a little bit tired yesterday when the game ended.

Based upon rpi and other indicators you would think that UD has a chance to get in without a win but it is only a chance. Bring your A game and you will have a couple of days to relax a little.

Flyers are in when they win, and get a better seed. They will win today, period!
