Around SBN: This Should Encourage Juan Mata

Bubbles Bubbles




Today's Bubble Watch on espn.com provides an accurate look at what the Hoyas will need to accomplish in order to be one of the 34 at-large bids on Selection Sunday:

Georgetown [15-12 (6-10), RPI: 40, SOS: 1] Just when we were ready to write off the Hoyas for good, they found a way to beat Villanova 56-54 on the road Saturday. Still, Georgetown will need to win its next two games -- at St. John's on Tuesday and home against DePaul on Saturday -- to have any chance at an at-large bid. Because Georgetown played the country's most difficult schedule, the NCAA selection committee might be willing to overlook an 8-10 finish in the rugged Big East. But Georgetown would probably also have to win at least two games in the Big East tournament (considering the first would come against a bad opponent). Georgetown is 4-8 against RPI top-50 opponents, beating Connecticut (road), Memphis (home), Villanova (road) and Syracuse (home). Its overall record isn't very good, but Georgetown has more quality wins than most other bubble teams.

I think that 3 more wins gets Georgetown in, but I can also see the Committee putting a 'win and in' label on a potential Big East Tourney game against Providence next Wednesday night.

However, first things first, and a preview of the Johnnies game follows later today.

Casually.
