[ugarte]

Kansas playing at Temple on ESPN2 now (5:30pm EST Saturday 1/2).

And Kansas lays a 32 point ass-whipping on them in Philly. Oy.

[Al DeFlorio]

And now 5-10 Binghamton knocks off LaSalle, 66-61.

Yeah I dont think any of the teams we played all year will make the tournament except for Syracuse as Seton Hall just had another close loss against Virginia Tech

A close loss against Virginia Tech is hardly the death knell for a program. Alabama will probably make the tournament also.

Seton Hall has not proven they can survive in a close game against a good team which doesnt give them much of a chance in the Big East. Their free throw percentage is terrible and they live and die by Hazell's shooting. You shut Hazell down, you win.

They are 9-4. They have lost to three top 20 teams (Syracuse, WV and Temple) and Virginia Tech. I'll grant that none of their wins (Cornell excepted...) are impressive but four single-digit losses to very good teams isn't a sign that Seton Hall sucks. There is plenty of opportunity for Seton Hall to pick up 17 or 18 wins by the end of the season.

I dont think Seton Hall sucks, they are a good team, they just not have shown themselves to be a tournament team in the Big East. VT is the kind of team they need to beat. Maybe they can make the tournament but is 17/18 wins going to be enough? they will also need a decent run in the Big East tournament.
