Butler pulled off the big upset in Chicago beating DePaul for the first time ever (think it's been over 20 games) 86-81. I was not expecting this result at all.
This opens up things for Seton Hall to possibly finish 3rd in the BE with a win at St. John's tonight. They are up 29-18 at halftime in a game on FS1. DePaul ends up 4th in the BE if Seton Hall wins tonight.
I wonder how close to a bubble team DePaul is now...

When Butler played UCONN Saturday, I was shocked they won 2 games.

I never even considered that DePaul would lose at home to them especially with a loss meaning a drop in the BE standings and meeting up with UCONN in the semi's of the BET instead of the final also...

| Awkward Bowl is awkward. Seton Hall smacked St. John's around 59-43, and really, that makes it look better than it was.

I'm wondering if DePaul might be at risk of not making the tournament, either. I think the only reason they are still ranked is because of their (well-earned) reputation over the past couple of decades, and they'll certainly not be ranked next week. They struggled to beat a very poor Xavier team, lost to a below-.500 Creighton, beat Providence and now the loss to a Butler team whose NET and RPI numbers are down near 300 in the country. I honestly think that Seton Hall might have a better profile than DePaul.

You called it--Depaul dropped out of the coaches poll, for what it's worth. Still receiving the second most votes, after Rutgers.
