Right now Lunardi still has us in the first 4 out. Of our final 6 games we have 2 Quad 1, 1 Quad 2, and 3 Quad 3 opportunities remaining. It feels like we’re gonna need to win at least 4 if not 5 to feel comfortable heading into the Big East tournament.
I was shocked to see we were still on the outside looking in after beating Xavier on the road. I feel comfortable that we’ll take care of business and get in. I just assumed a win over Xavier would have put us in the right side of the bubble.Right now Lunardi still has us in the first 4 out.

Hey, at least we have more Quad 1 and Quad 2 opportunities than we would have had in the AAC.
If you look on his Twitter he updated the bubble at 11:30 last night after the Pac-12 games were done.Lunardi never updated it
I can’t say that impressed by resumes of the five teams directly ahead of us. None of them will have a win as good as our upcoming victory over Villanova.If you look on his Twitter he updated the bubble at 11:30 last night after the Pac-12 games were done.
Especially Drake and Colorado State!I can’t say that impressed by resumes of the five teams directly ahead of us. None of them will have a win as good as our upcoming victory over Villanova.
It looks like there are no Big East games at all on 2/25. I wonder if they’ll wait until closer to that date to try to minimize the chance of scheduling a game and having it wiped out by COVID again. I agree we should play Nova that day if we can. It would be good for us and for the conference.It looks like UConn has 2 quad 1 games left on the regular season schedule currently (Nova, Seton Hall) and a quad 2 game at Georgetown. They need 2/3 of those games. The conference tournament is still in. I haven’t seen any make up games to this point but UConn and Nova both have an open date on 2/25, they should play. If Big East wants to maximize the potential tournament teams it has, it neeeds to give UConn another quad 1 opportunity in the regular season.
It’d be a really tough stretch to play 4 games in a week but they need as many opportunities as possible. I’d rather get two chances at Nova than one. But just have to keep winning, I think if they mostly take care of business they should be okay. Then try to make a little run in the conf tournamentIt looks like there are no Big East games at all on 2/25.

Good point. I didn’t notice we already play 2/20, 2/23, and 2/27. Maybe it wouldn’t be worth it if we’re still banged up at all.It’d be a really tough stretch to play 4 games in a week but they need as many opportunities as possible.

I didn’t know the exact detais either, other than the more quad 1 or 2 wins you have, the better off you are. We have not been close to being a tournament team since they put that system in place, so I never really studied it that much.This might sound dumb but what are these "quad wins" that people refer to?
Lunardi is far from gospel, Kevin Pulsifer is the 2nd most accurate bracketologist over the last 5 years he had us a 11 seed going into yesterday. Switch the Coverage, 4th most accurate, has us as an 11 as well. The 1st and 3rd have not released brackets.Right now Lunardi still has us in the first 4 out.

Thats why Selection Sunday will be very interesting. I guarantee there will be teams essentially getting punished and missing the tournament because they played less games. I know they put in the 13 game minimum to qualify for the tournament, but obviously more games = more chances for quality wins.UConn needs some quality wins to get into the NCAA tournament. There only quality wins are against USC and Xavier. But first they need to start winning some games. And it all starts Tuesday vs Providence
This very much feels like a “without Bouk” summary.
