DePaul is 4-1 against the bubble teams and Creighton is 2-1. To get 7 in, you need the other 3 to be pretty bad. We've (ugh) held up our end, but the other two haven't. The killer is that neither of them (or us) have any shot at a bid outside of 4 wins at MSG.
Would be nice if Seton Hall and Xavier could beat up on St. John's and the Johnnies managed to win the BET at MSG. That, or something like it, is probably the best shot at keeping 7 bids. Right now, I just have a tough time seeing all 3 get in. I do still think at least 1-2 of them will, though, someone will build some separation.
