Big East Tournament

10 seed playing Villanova at 7pm on Wednesday: St. John's win OR Cincinnati loss

9 seed playing Providence at noon on Wednesday: St. John's loss AND Cincinnati win

FYI, St. John's currently leading Marquette 23-15 at MSG.

I don't particularly want to play either of those teams, but I guess I would rather play Providence for the revenge game despite the matinee.

I'd much rather face Nova to minimize the risk. Losing to RPI #52 on a neutral court doesn't hurt at all. Lose to #85 Providence (for a second time) and we could be looking at an 11/12 seed.

In terms of advancing at MSG we are better off in the 8/9 game because I think Georgetown is a lot better matchup for us than Louisville.

Hedging huh? Yeah, not a bad idea for how this team has been playing.

Absolutely not. Gtown is clicking on all cylinders right now. Ul on a neutral floor is a much better option because they speed up the pace and give up more easy baskets. Gtown is a much slower paced and better half court defensive team

Basically worst case for the Cats just happened. Marquette hit a buzzer beater to beat St. Johns and so Cincinnati is locked into the 9 seed against Providence...the last team I'd want to face.
