If it comes down to us vs. Cuse or they are for sure in and we are close they will look at the win...

Especially with it being at MSG and them being fully healthy at the time...No Devendorf now...He played vs us...

I don't think that's necessarily true. The overall profile is more important. I'm looking for the specific examples but I know there's been several big east bubble teams through the years were they've been close in profile were the team with the better profile went over the team with the head to head win.

What we really need right now is teams like Butler, Drake, Memphis and others from one bid leagues to win their conference tourneys. A10 bubble teams like Dayton, UMass, Saint Joe's, and Rhode Island to continue to pick each other off.

Agreed. The committee definetley looks at how you play towards the end of the year too. So the Cuse game will mean nothing, if we don't start getting some quality wins.

Their win over Georgetown is more separation between us and them than us beating them in November

You will get no arguement from me that the Bucks need to get a quality win or two, but it bears mentioning that when discussing Syracuse's resume nobody is taking into account the fact that they are currently ranked 9th in the Big East. Yes the win over GTown yesterday was a good win for Syracuse but it didn't elevate them ahead of us. They still have more work to do than us, and if we both finish strong our resume will trump theirs. We don't really need to worry about them as much as just taking care of our own bussiness.

We're gonna have to beat the top 4 BT teams, or bust.
