Big East Basketball Thread

No doubt, Providence is better than probably every other team in the Pac and we sure as hell aren't going to go undefeated in the league.

It's gonna be that kind of year for everybody. Only team I've seen that has played with any consistency this year is Oklahoma.

Big East champ will have at least 4 or 5 losses this year.

Providence is overrated but that 2 man show is deadly. And we won.

Wow. Big win for a inconsistent team.

Lose to Georgetown but beats Providence. Just doesn't make sense

Georgetown is underrated by their own hand right now. That team has skill and is a bad personal matchup with their length.

They shoulda won at Maryland and also played Duke to the wire.

The second half shellacking to SHU where we simply didn't try was the embarrassing moment.

We suck again!!!

We suck again!!!

You're good again!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

You're good again!

We're only roughly 23.5 pt under dogs tonight!!!!!

Considering I predicted 84-57...I'll take it!!

Providence is in big, big trouble. Not in terms of making the dance. I think 8-10 is good enough for them but still...

3 straight losses. Gtown, at X and at SHU for the next 3. That's probably 2 losses forsure, maybe 3.

Can't just be a 2 man show. As good as those 2 are.

Good win by Marquette!

There's going to be a whole mass of .500 teams in the Big East. Interesting to see what the committee does. I certainly didn't predict this kind of finish.

Yup. Marquette is 8th(fucking DePaul loss) but 2 games out of 3rd. Insane.

This is where RPI is a joke. All these teams are pretty equivalent. But providence and Butler need 8-10 records. Marquette and Creighton need 11-7. All because we beat shittier shit teams. That's on the AD but it's such a awful judge of a team.

But it will be interesting to see how things end up. All these teams are capable of beating each other.

Ultimately I see 5 teams going. Nova/X(duh) with SHU, providence and Butler. Creighton still alive. Marquette and Gtown basically gotta win out or win the BET.

I agree, it's really hard to separate the teams in the middle of the pack.

Of those six teams currently within one game of .500, you gotta go with Providence because of their wins over Nova and Zona. After that, it's real murky.

And how did you guys lose to DePaul? At home? I watched those guys play against Nova. They are terrible.

TOs, youth and inconsistent shooting. it's how we lose and win every game. Poor Butler saw that first hand.

We lost home to DePaul. If we even remotely take care of the ball last Saturday we win at X

Shit we were beating you guys at half. But went on our usual 10 minute bender of no offense and it got away.

We're a year away from being dominant...but that won't even happen cuz Ellenson is leaving.

Jay Bilas said that Xavier was a Final Four team in the preseason when they weren't even ranked Top 15. He very well might end up being correct.

I'll be watching this basketball game!

But Marquette vs Creighton is on

 

[jontaejones]

Props to Xavier for not storming the court like a bunch of morons.

Hope we see their dumbasses again in March.

Did they storm?? Can't tell if first part was sarcastic since you called them dumbasses in the next.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Nice win at Creighton tonight.

God if we didn't choke at home vs fucking DePaul and this same Creighton team we would be 9-6 in conference and actually have a pulse.

Also nearly had a win at X. We're close, just a shame it's a reset without Henry next year.

They didn't storm. Not a single soul. Xavier has knowledgeable basketball fans.

I actually want to see X do well. I don't mind if they win the BET. Been there done that. I want Nova to see 2nd weekend this year. That's the only goal.

As I speak, Colorado fans storm the court for knocking off the #9 team in the country. Meh...

All you have to do is win out and win a round in BET and you guys are in...

Ehh I think with our RPI it would have to be 12 wins so 2 BE wins and a maybe. Just disappointing if we're 9-6 win Gtown at home and hope to get Butler and that's 11.

Also, I just want to at least avoid that fucking first round BET tourney game. We ain't winning that thing but if we just have to win 3 games we at least have a "chance" lol.

And of course. Now Nova is gonna be pissed on Saturday!!

X is a legit team. I was gonna say, if they stormed the court that's messed up.

Colorado storming vs #9 is pretty meh. But I kinda get it. Zona is basically daddy in that league and Colorado is fighting for lives to get back into tourney.
