There's still a reasonable chance WVU can make the field of 64. Sitting tied for 6th in the BE, there are 4 teams that have a chance to pass them in the standings. (Cincinnati, Pitt, Syracuse, and Villanova) If we can finish 3-1 with the loss being to UConn, then the 4 teams behind us should all expect to finish 10-8, one game behind us. That would place us in sole possession of 6th place and a win in the BE Tourney should be enough to seal a bid. If the loss comes to Pitt, however, or if we finish 2-2, then we're looking at a 7th or tied for 7th place finish and we would likely need to win two games or at least be extremely impressive in the BE tournament. Pitt plays Louisville today and a Louisville win would be a huge boost.
And congratulations to Tennessee in taking over the #1 spot in the next poll. I wonder how long it has been since the Men's BBall team has been ranked higher (#2) than the Women's (#3) and the football team (#12).

Damn! We should've beat Tennesse! I agree. 21 wins, were out, 22 roll the dice, 23 we should make it. I just don't know which team will show up on a given night. The one that whipped Marquette and had Georgetown beat except for the no call or the one that Cinci or Villinova rolled over.
...had Georgetown beat except for free throws. Officials are infamous for swallowing their whistles on end of game close calls or contact.
