A few weeks ago I wrote St. John's off as being incapable of making the NCAA Tournament. Since then, SJU has beaten Duke, UCONN and lost to Georgetown and UCLA. Yes, they beat Rutgers, but they still have work to do. The loss to Cincinnati was big because SJU could be competing for a spot in the NCAA Tournament with the Bearcats directly at the time the field is selected. If SJU loses at Cincy, then the Selection Committee will see a season sweep for the Bearcats against SJU and, although Cincy hasn't beaten anybody in conference of note, it may hurt the Red Storm. If St. John's can beat Cincy and win 3 of their last 6 Big East Games, they will have punched their ticket.
Personally, I would love to see SJU in the dance.
