How about a six pack of Gansett?
How about if PC is out, I’ll stop being so brash.

If PC is in, I’ll continue posting like I do. 😁
You can post anything you want. I may bust your balls though. All good fun.
PC has about the same resume as Clemson, who definitely appears out of the tourney.

56 Providence Big East 21-11 6-6 0-3 15-2 4-8 3-2 3-1 11-0

57. Clemson ACC 23-10 5-6 3-3 15-1 4-4 3-2 7-2 9-2

Providence has a better resume. Clemson has two Q3 losses and two Q4 losses.

PC only has one Q3 loss

Both teams have the same Q1 and Q2 win totals, but as we know bad losses trump good wins.

Neither one of them have a very good resume though. Like PC beat nobody in the non conference.

I give PC an edge over Clemson. I guess my point was Clemson is considered definitely out, but PC is definitely in? I don’t get it.

Well after a deep dive

Looks like PC is pretty much the only bubble team that doesn't have a quad 4 loss.

Some teams have better wins, but quite a few have some brutal losses

Still PC has basically three wins over tournament teams

UConn, Creighton and Marquette

Really good wins, but after that their best win is Villanova...

After six straight missed UVU free throws, Healy made a pair at the line to pull to within 86-85 with 12 seconds to go. Utah Valley made a pair at the line to push the lead back to 88-85 with 10 seconds on the clock.

Incredibly, Jones drained a three-pointer with four seconds to go to tie the game at 88-88 and was fouled on the shot. Jones made the free throw to take an 89-88 lead as the 'Birds held off Utah Valley in the final three seconds as the 'Birds completed a 23-point comeback.

No Quad 4 loses may save their butt.

Watched the second half of the MAC Championship game. The league’s power ranking is low in a couple of different metrics, but to my untrained eye, both Kent St and Toledo can play with the top A10 teams. I checked their schedules: Kent St hung with Houston and Gonzaga in the non conference.

Watching Duke UVA and they were quoting someone who said this

"The coaching job Jon Scheyer did this year was the best I've seen in 30 years of coaching. He had an almost impossible task blah blah blah"

IMPOSSIBLE TASK?

Really ESPN?

Poor Duke all those five star freshman 😥

Yeah they have more talent than anyone but they're just a bunch of wittle babies 👶

Jon Scheyer is working miracle ya'll! Duke is a really good basketball team! I'm in awe! Would have never imagined in a million years they would be such a good team this year 😮

UCLA-Arizona a hard fought slugfest that went to the wire. I almost stopped watching it, though, because of Walton. I used to like him: I felt he was a breath of fresh air. Now he talks way too much …. more than the play by play guy, and most it it has nothing to do with the game. I get that part of his act it to bust the play by play guy’s chops, but he went over the top with that, too.
