Why? You don't think a 3rd place finish in the Big East is worthy of a bid?

Unfortunately, with Xavier's win yesterday, a 3rd place finish likely won't happen. Probably 5th at this point.

Maybe at least people can stop talking about an at large bid now................

Agreed. I never saw it. This team just has too many fundamental flaws.

I think what is hard to take for MU fans is that we just aren't very good this year...it's been a quite a few years since we had to see that

Not with our resume.

Why? You don't think a 3rd place finish in the Big East is worthy of a bid?

This team lost their shot at third when Xavier beat Creighton and we lost to 'Nova. 4th at best now, and based on the rest of the resume coupled with the way the bubble went yesterday, no.

Are you asking me Jim?

Maybe the Seniors want to play in the NIT. oh well, it's their legacy. They have to live with it.

Nailed it.

I'll say it until i'm blue in the face. Conference standing does not matter. MU's overall profile ranks behind VU, CU, XU, SJU, PU, and GU in terms of BE schools.

Why? You don't think a 3rd place finish in the Big East is worthy of a bid?

I don't think it will get it done Jim, compare our resume to the schools currently listed as the last teams in and we are easily 2-3 top 50 wins behind them, not to mention most have a top 25 or better win, that is too large of a gap to make up at this point in my opinion... Sure could things break perfectly? Yes, but the odds of that are pretty low.

Why? You don't think a 3rd place finish in the Big East is worthy of a bid?

Not when you can't beat a top team and MU doesn't have any quality wins.
