Bearcats who they are

[swg]

Ibrahima Thomas sat in the lane. Frozen.

Cashmere Wright lifted his shirt up in disbelief. Lost.

Yancy Gates and Lance Stephenson did what they had done for the final 12 minutes of the most critical home game of the season: They sat on the bench. Helpless.

In the seconds after Deonta Vaughn's game-tying 3-point attempt bounced off the mark to close overtime, a wild two hours of intense basketball slammed to an immediate halt.

A cold reality set in underneath the 79-76 final in favor of Marquette.

The NCAA tournament dream is all but out of reach.

"I thought it was going to go in," Vaughn said. "It hurt me. It hurt me deeply."

The NCAA Tourney is not out of reach until you lose in the Big East tourney.

I have this logic theory that if you are in the Big East tourney you are in the NCAA Tourney. It applies to all schools that have a conference tourney where the winner gets a auto bid into the NCAA field of 65.. Thus, there are 340 teams in the NCAA tourney, the only 7 teams not in are 7 teams in the Ivy league as there is not a conference tourney in the Ivy League. There is no logical way to deny this because starting in your conference tourney if you do not lose another game you will be NCAA Champion. 34 teams that lose in their conference tourney will get a second chance by being put in the field of 65.
So, by my logic Mick has had UC in the NCAA tourney the last 2 years, year 1 UC lost to Pitt, year 2 UC lost to DePaul.

I'm starting to agree with you Mick.
