Battle for last place today. MU tied for last if we lose. :(

[BLT]

Carlino still out today. Will be a DNP

[MU/Panther]

I'm shocked Carlino is still out. He must not be doing well.

[MU/Panther]

Spread has moved to -5 for Creighton.

[Nukem2]

I'm shocked Carlino is still out. He must not be doing well.He really took quite a hit to his head/neck as he hit the floor. Wonder if he has an issue beyond the concussion and that protocol?

[MU/Panther]

St John's 40 Xavier 33 halftime on FOX.

[MU/Panther]

St. John's 70 Xavier 67, 3:39 left on FOX.

[MU/Panther]

Creighton 77 Marquette 70

Monster win on the road for the Johnnies. They are suddenly in pretty good shape for a bid at 6-6 with three home games and a trip here left. Xavier now would be advised to either win the return trip at St. John's or the Crosstown game against Cincy Wednesday. May still get in the play-in game without them, but you do not want to sweat out Selection Sunday.

[Nukem2]

Yes, SJU is getting in line for a bid. Xavier has a tough schedule ahead and is squarely on the bubble. BE likely will have 5 teams dancing unless X gets it going.

[MU/Panther]

Providence up 44 to 42 on Seton Hall with 8 minutes left on FSN.

[MU/Panther]

Final
Providence 69 Seton Hall 62
Henton 22pts and Dunn 19pts

Villanova 16 Butler 13 on CBSSN

[MU/Panther]

Hillard with a career high 31 pts and the game winning three with 1.5 left

Villanova 68 Butler 65

[warriorfan4life]

Impressed with Butler, even in a loss. They executed and scored efficiently against a great defense in the second half, and lost to a career game by Hilliard.

Meanwhile, it is time to strongly consider Nova for a 1 seed. Gonzaga's profile is even worse then Wichita's last year (which was not befitting of a one seed), and they do not have the undefeated record to claim hold to. More impressed with Nova's performance in the Big East then Wisconsin's in the Big Ten (and I know which league is better this year). Kansas has too many lopsided losses (including one to a bubble Temple team that Nova blew out of the water).

[MU/Panther]

Butler's Andrew Charbascz might have a broken right hand.

Really, really sucks if he's going to miss the rest of the year. Very important to their team obviously.

Butler's Andrew Chrabascz out minimum of 3 weeks w/ broken finger, source tells @SNYtv . Could be 3-6 weeks

[warriorfan4life]

May not be quite that serious. Probably out 2-4 weeks (http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25070059/butlers-andrew-chrabascz-to-be-sidelined-weeks-by-fractured-hand) according to Parrish's latest report.

[MU/Panther]

He played the rest of the game with the hand. Missed that key lay-up late.
