Last In, First Out.

PrintIt would seem that Penn State is the LIFO as of 10:00 p.m. Saturday night. The fight for the final few spots in the NCAA Tournament is between Penn State, St. Mary's, Creighton, Arizona, and San Diego State (and, if they lose tonight, Utah State). For the most part, things fell into place for the Bubblicious. Maryland, Baylor, San Diego State, Duquesne, and Tulsa all lost. There was bad news -- Southern Cal stole the Pac-10 autobid by beating Arizona State, and Mississippi State beat LSU to move into tomorrow's SEC final against Tennessee at 1 p.m.
Joe Lunardi currently has us in his "first four out" category. Curiously, Creighton and St. Mary's are included in his "last four in." Creighton has wins against Dayton and...pretty much nobody. They also have losses to Drake (16-15) and Wichita State (15-16). Essentially, Creighton has a pretty RPI, in the low 40's.
St. Mary's is 24-6 and went 12-5 in the WCC. RPI around 47. Best win? Take your pick between Providence, San Diego State, and Utah State. Either way, it's between three bubble teams. Penn State's worst losses are to two bubble teams* (Rhode Island and Temple). St. Mary's had two shots at Gonzaga and lost twice. They also lost to 14-17 Santa Clara.
Trying my best to be objective, but I truly believe that Lunardi's on the wrong track. We shall see. The main order of business is hoping and praying for Mississippi State to lose tomorrow. A Utah State victory over Nevada (on ESPN2 momentarily) couldn't hurt, either.
* -- Oh yeah, and these jackholes. I purged that one from my brain due to Cornley's injury.

Creighton
What’s so strange to me is how ESPN has ulterior motives, I wish we knew the whole story here, but:
I was listening to the Friday night ESPN show yesterday, and they had a segment on the B10 and the bubble teams (Ohio State, Minny, and reluctantly PSU). Well the guy who they had on as an expert just gushed over Creighton, he was stumping for them big time. He said that they’re season and schedule is a model for how to judge bubble teams, and that Creighton has a better schedule than all the bubble teams. This was during the B10 segment. It was bizzarre how he would continuously find ways to interject Creighton into the conversation whenever he could.
I had never heard of this team, but I’m pretty sure there’s something funny going on with all this love for a team that’s schedule and wins are honestly not more impressive than anything we’ve done. I wonder why ESPN’s stumping for them and trying to boost their stock.

When I get back, I expect Utah State to be back up by 13.
And don’t give me this whole “You can’t scoring during halftime” bull crap. If Utah State really wants to be a tournament team, they better start whining to the refs like a tournament team!

Not voting to invite PSU was a big mistake I would say. Would have changed the course of college football, and maybe even college basketball. Hard to argue that players wouldn’t want to come to PSU to play in the big east.
Kath?
WTF??? How does tWWL justify
an explanation as to how Memphis should not be a #1 seed in favor of UConn…the 3rd Big East team with a #1 seed.
I agree that the Big East is a good bball conference, but to say that the top 3 teams in the Big East are 3 of the top 4 teams in the whole counry…ridiculous!

I’m not a big fan of giving the BE 3 number 1s but I rarely give Memphis any credit for playing in a one or two bid conference. They need to get into the Big East somehow to test their mettle.

I had a helluva lot more respect for us after watching that game than I did after the Temple loss. 40 hour turnaround after a watershed win for the program, on the road, in the league, isn’t nearly as bad as losing to a mid-major who needed a miracle to get in.
