“Good Shape”

           Nova has won 5 in a row and despite very few quality wins, their quantity of wins has them in terrific shape. If they beat UConn this weekend that would likely seal it. If they only win at Xavier; they’ll be in pretty good shape, but just don’t want to take bad losses. If they lose both then things get a little worrisome.

“Bubble”

         Seton Hall beat Providence and Butler last week to keep their hopes alive. They’ll have to beat DePaul and Georgetown this week in order to continue to be viable moving forward. If they win both games they might only have to beat St. John’s and Xavier to get in. If they take a loss this week; they’ll have to beat UConn as well.

          Not much else to speak of as Butler, Creighton and Xavier have fallen off recently. This is looking like a 3-4 bid league at a maximum.
