MU-Villanova Today

C'mon guys. The only chance MU has is to win the Big East tournament. That's the only chance now. Their RPI will never be high enough with the amount of losses.

Would give us 9 top-100 wins and a top-25 win, along with a top-50 RPI. If we win our last two and make the final we are in.

That said, I don't expect us to do either.

Rational much? Any post season experience will be great for the younger players on the team. People are acting like we haven't won a game this year....

Really decline the NIT bid? No way that happens... We will absolutely get an NIT invitation and accept it

JJJ absence? Injury or what some have been thinking?

And we get bumped for Indiana, again. Haha.

If we make the Big East final, we will have to beat 'Nova or Creighton. Three is definitely enough. Today sucked but the bubble is still soft.

I'm sure they will accept it, but quite frankly it's an embarrassment for a team that was unanimously picked to win the Big east. if you are okay with an NIT bid, that's your prerogative. I know the team must be okay with it, since they have played like that's where they have wanted to be all season.

Six double digit losses this year from an experienced team. Most under Buzz and there is still a good part of the season to be played. This has been a tough year for Buzz, and credit is due for staying with the guys as they made a run back despite no room for error. But, it was clear early on this team was going to underachieve and he should have gone with the future potential. Since he didn't, next season will be a total rebuilding project. NIT may be the better choice to extend the season and give the lads a chance to play some more minutes.
