Strangely, I am watching SH @ Butler. Butler is hammering SH by 20 14 minutes into the game. I hope Butler wins - I would much rather play DePaul Wednesday (and I understand we could lose to anyone).

Its apparent we have three good players and the rest suck. We cant turnover this roster fast enough. Wow. You know it was a bad day with this kind of post from you!

DFW's current pairing suggests that DePaul is locked into the 10 seed, but I don't think that is right. If Butler loses to Seton Hall tomorrow, they and DePaul will finish with the same record. They split head to head.
Butler's wins were Marquette, Seton Hall and DePaul DePaul's wins were St. Johns, Seton Hall and Butler
So when you run down the standings from the top, it will depend who wins the SJU v. MU game tomorrow. If SJU wins tomorrow, then DePaul would get the 9 seed, since they beat SJU. If Marquette wins tomorrow, then Butler gets the 9 because they beat MU.
Is that wrong?
It matters obviously if we end up at 7.
If we are playing Wednesday night, I personally would rather play DePaul at this point then Butler.

Dayton wins at St. Louis tonight. Not good for other bubble teams.

Well, according to DFW's summary on the front page, the Hoyas are NOT "on, or near the bubble" - he has a degree in bracketology with a minor in Punch Bowl Pooping. Well according to a collection of people who like college basketball and have too much time on their hands (with whom most of us can probably identify), Georgetown is probably not in right now: www.bracketmatrix.com/Of the twenty or so updated through yesterday's games, only Yahoo has us in. Yahoo's "Bracket Brad" says of Georgetown: "Will through [sic] self through window if denied at-large. Quality Ws!" So at least Bracket Brad is on our side and has threatened self-defenestration to prove it. That bracketmatrix site was last updated before the finsih of last night's game. So are you saying you nonetheless went to 20 of the bracket sites referenced that were updated to include last night's game to look to see if we were in? Maybe I am confused.

If PC had lost tonight we would have had to all start reviewing the "mini-conference" tiebreaker rules. If we lose Saturday, we are locked in at the 7 seed. If we win and St. Johns wins are we not still the 6 seed? Or does the head to head vs. Marquette outweigh the performance against the top conference teams? If we win and St. John's wins, then they are 10-8 and we are 9-9, so I am pretty sure they would get the 6 seed! EDIT - sorry, realized you were referring to a tiebreak between us and Marquette - not SJU (not to mention I responded late last night as well!)

We are NEVER past caring, and hoping. The Villanova bigs will be more of a challenge certainly, and playing on the road has not been a strength for this squad. But you can't help but have the feeling that Markel and DSR, as well as Jabril, just refuse to let this season end with anything short of a trip to the NCAA's. If we continue to value the ball and limit our turnovers, and if we can get contributions across the board like we did last night, this team can absolutely win this one. Of course it will not be easy, it will be another war - but if I have to go to war, I want Markel Starks next to me. Turnovers killed us in the 1st Nova game (especially the first 10 minutes), so agree that will be key for game 2. I hope/expect we will be better prepared for that zone press Nova employs so well, which if I recall was very effective in the first game. I think it is the good spacing on their press, but it always seems like we are playing 6 against 5 getting the ball upcourt.

If we end up tied with St. John's at 9-9, who gets the sixth seed? If we win and SJU loses at Marquette we would be the 6 and SJU the 7 (as a result of that win v. Nova). If PC had lost tonight we would have had to all start reviewing the "mini-conference" tiebreaker rules. If we lose Saturday, we are locked in at the 7 seed.

I can't help but wonder if the answer is what we saw Marquette do with Davonte Gardner. To protect him from fouls Buzz Williams kept taking him out whenever he could for defensive substitutions and back in for offensive ones. Perhaps we could do the same with Lubick and Hopkins in for offense and Hayes and Ayegba in for defense. This would give our two best offensive bigs more minutes to look for hooks and layups while avoiding fouls. Or possibly for the positioning and intangibles factor we could do Hopkins and Hayes on offense and Lubick and Ayegba on defense or even just rotate Hopkins, Hayes and Ayegba at Center and leave Lubick with Cameron at the 4 but with 5 extra fouls to dish out to low FT% shooting bigs. I think this pretty much sums up our season w/r/t the frontcourt that we are discussing Nate and Mikael as the offensive end of an offense/defense front court rotation.

Last year Greg missed a final by accident, now that he's at Rutgers that's kosher to say right Dan? The substitute professor did not let him make it up. I bombed a physics exam because I was up all night counseling a student in distress (I was a RA) but foolishly I took the exam without talking to the professor first. Counseling a student in distress. That's funny Dan. Was it at the Tomb's?

I believe this team, because of its hits, lumps and bruises this season, has gained confidence. Once you play caliber teams early, whether you win or loose, you always learn a lot more than if you played a bunch of mediocre teams early. This was a great win. DSR exuded confidence. So did Lubick, Starks and the whole cast. I think the fact that we got to play (and beat) VCU in November is a huge + for the season. Whenever we get pressed I have a ton of confidence in our (Markel's) ability to handle it after having dealt with it so well for 40 minutes of the most intense pressure we will likely see all year. I suspect Markel et al have the same confidence.

juicesbracket.blogspot.com/At least one site agrees we should be a 1 seed today. Regardless of seed, I think we're fated to be in the same region as Florida. In the comments below the bracket, he noted how FL "dominated" GU on Day 1 of the CBB season. While we didn't play well that half, dominated is not quite how I remember it. Nonetheless, I like the seed and references to the very strong resume we are building.

should work with DSR on that pull up. Or Bobby Winston - the pull up in the lane was his one effective shot.

Only one game of interest: GU @ Cincy! GO HOYAS!!! This is in fact more true than usual. No games of interest besides ours tonight. Not of interest per se to Georgetown fans, but there is a huge game in the America East tonight on Long Island on the campus of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The first place Seawolves (9-2) are hosting the 2nd place Catamounts of Vermont (9-3).

Also does any player get almost injured as much as Porter? His head, his throat, his nose, his ankle. And those are just the one's I caught. Seriously. Don't know if you go to the games, but it is even more noticeable there. It's uncanny. So true. And after what happened earlier this year I get sick to my stomach every time he is running back down court rubbing his head looking dazed and confused.
