Butler, DePaul, Providence, Xavier, Georgetown, marquette.
Do you count on at least 11 wins out of these games?

Good thing we have already played & won 3 road games against this group. None are terrible.
A few weeks back I tried to come up with a reasonable map to 12-8 and had 10 from that group just broke it down different. People can debate whether that's enough but we have a pretty good non-conference profile and metrics this time around compared to 2023-24 to feel good about 22-9, 12-8 in March.
I simply don't trust our style of play to have enough firepower offensively to not be in these rock fights and maybe get clipped in one or two to push The Hall even higher to 14-15 wins, but we'll see. The bottom of the league is really bad this year. Anyway, I grouped:
1-3 vs. Connecticut, St. John's (NP yet)
3-3 vs. Creighton, Villanova, and Butler (currently 1-1, 2-2 remaining)
8-2 vs. Providence, Georgetown, Marquette, Xavier, and DePaul (currently 3-0, 5-2 remaining)

At this point The Hall has to own it at The Rock. Great chances for some season sweeps because of the early road wins . There are not many if any land mine games left.. DePaul games are not the horror outcome games they have been. I don't expect to beat UConn this season. So, a win may be necessary vs Nova, but especially SJU. No guarantees as we all know, but this year's team has managed to put themselves in a fantastic position for Post Season.

We will not get into the tournament if this is our season. 12-8 with 0 UConn wins in a horrific Big East
Then so be it. Such is life. But the bubble is always horrific too.
The breakdowm makes sense, but the tough part is we play St John's at home last game of year. You would have to assume Rick has them rolling at that point. It will be very tough.
The bad news is Providence, Xavier, Marquette, Depaul and Gtown would all be Q3 losses at home. We need to win all of them.
obviously our record stands for itself, but the offensive metrics are seeming to be permanent. i have 0-4 and 2-4 vs the top groups
that's 11-11. win one and we're good.
2 vs UConn 2 vs Mike Repole and 2 vs Villanova & Creighton.
steal two of those 6 and avoid any bad losses and we’re off the 8/9 line.

we were picked LAST in the league, so why are we worrying? enjoy this ride
@IronKaz1 I agree with this sentiment, but it's very funny hearing this from you.
