UCONN at South Florida preview and game thread

[NCBull]

My GOD ND just won't lose a game.

It's a great win and a great way to hang on and come up big in a big game.

Biggest things that hurts us is that CMU loss. 

But we still have a chance to get into the tournament.  We're a lock for the NIT at this point as the worst case scenario.

Depending on how things go in the BET, there could be possibly TEN Big East teams in the dance.  We get at least eight and I think we get nine teams in. 

I like our chances to pick up two wins if we do end up at #9.  We'd play DePaul to start out.  That's not a guarantee, but we should win it on a neutral floor.  Then we'd get ND who we've fought hard twice.  If the third time's a charm then we win, get to 21 wins, likely lose to Cuse in the quarterfinals, but I think we get in the tournament.  And if we don't, I'd find it hard to complain about a 21-12 season if we get there.

Well ND is in the NCAAT so if we play them and win we are going to be the 9th BE team in.

looks like our path is Depaul, Georgetown, Cuse

[smmitty]

Will beating DePaul and Georgetown get us in?

Gtown has a higher RPI than ND so it will look better. But first we must win vs DePaul.

ND is pretty hot I wouldnt want to face them right now
