Huge win for X, who I now believe just need to win one game down the stretch to get in. On the flip side, real tough loss for a Johnnies team that needed this for their profile.
Ultimately think that is good for Marquette, as, like you said, one more win and X should be in. Though that one win will be tough with their schedule. St. Johns is battling with MU, so that actually helped us more that the Johnnies lost. Odd that we have 4 more conference games left compared to two for St. Johns. They should be well rested by the time they come to Milwaukee for Senior Day.
Actually wanted X to lose this one. Not sure why, but I just have this feeling that finishing 3rd in the BE will hold some weight(I know typically conference standings don't matter). If you assume X is in anyway, and they finish 4th, and MU finishes 3rd... I didn't think SJU had much of a chance to make the tourney anyway. I for one, wasn't a believer in how good they had been playing. At the end of the day, they are still St. John's.
