4th in the...Atlantic-10
Wins over um...St. Bonaventure? St. Josephs?

Yes. I am beating a dead horse. And it feels good too.

I was gonna post something similar....

UC earns the 4 seed in the BE tourney and a double bye. Should be a decent seeding for UC in the NCAA tourney.

 

[OrangeBlackRedWhite]

Hell, I would love a 12 or 11 seed. Just don't want to get stuck in the 8/9 game.

I think Cronin will take whatever they give him

UC's RPI has got to be close to top 20, right? Good showing the BE tourney and maybe 5-6 seed?

 

[cincygrad]

Our RPI is terrible.... Bad job scheduling. You want to schedule cream-puffs, but not teams that are outside the top 300.

That said, they finished 4th in the Big East and the team is dangerous when they are on their game. I've enjoyed watching them play. I think a sweet 16 isn't out of the question, but they'd need some help to get further than that.

As for Xavier...... Hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

Here's the thing about X: They were over-rated all year long. There was a really good article on ESPN (and in the mag) about how all the problems that XU is having now they had when they were 8-0. They just got lucky that Tu was able to carry them back from double digit deficits to win against Vandy, Purdue...etc...The brawl didn't bring those issues, but it did highlight them because of all the attention they got afterwards.

Eitherway, without an A-10 run culminating in an A-10 tourney championship, I don't see how X can make the tourney.
