Big East Basketball Thread

We actually just straight up suck. Markus has to be hurt because hes terrible now. Joey blows.

21 lead changs or some shit because everytime we get up 1 or 2 with either give up a basket right away or miss 7 straight shots until Gtown scores...sometimes its 4 shots on 1 possession.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

LOL now in the second half

Get up 7. Give up 10-0 run.

Get up 8. 14-6 run.

Up 7 and chance to go up 9...Markus sprints out of control for a horrible floater. Gtown goes back down to cut it to 5.

Missing a free throw every trip.

It's 4 games now of a team looking like they should be in the Pac 12. It will not stop.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Now they are just calling fouls every possession when McClung drives out of control

4 losses in a row.

Great week Seton Hall

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Another Markus choke lmao

Dude is not clutch late in games

Misses free throws even. 4 games in a row.

I have never seen a meltdown like this

 

[mr.hockey4242]

And the 1 time they don't call a foul its to literally lose us the game

Whatever we fucking suck

Bad end to the season for this conference.

The way the seeding might go depending on the conference tourneys, this conference might be gone after the first 2 days.

Bodes really well for next year though. I think the BE is gonna be dynamite next year.

If St. Johns lose their first game, they're out right?

Creighton will be greatly improved. They return practically everybody. Should be fun to see.

Wojo given a 5 year extension at Marquette after two of his starting lineup defects from what would have been a Top 5 team.

Some things never cease to amaze me...

Extensions really mean nothing in college b-ball.

And with the facts of the situation coming to light recently. There isn’t much fault at Wojo for the whole situation.

Just have to live with it and hope the guy can make things work going forward.

Alot of rumblings this morning that UConn is headed back to the Big East. Would obviously be a great move for basketball.

Seems like a done deal according to espn

many credible CBB writers are saying this is a done deal

so, the AAC is just going to let UConn go to the Big East for all sports, but football? lol wut

Temple should try to go back to the A-10 for all sports but football, if the UConn/Big East deal goes down

Yeah it appears it is now.

Yeah looks like it. Great move for UConn and CBB in general. Getting Uconn vs Nova/Gtown/St John's/ etc. will be great.

As for the AAC, my guess is they fine them, drop them and UConn joins the MAC for football.

 

[jontaejones]

Wut??

Really?

YESSSSS!!!

Please let this happen.

There have been rumblings about this move for the last few years, but each side would deny the rumors.

Obviously, I know why now, they are still denying it today.

I've been on the UConn fan boards and they wanted a move back to the Big East. Obviously fans of other Big East schools want them too.

And I think with other conferences going to 20 games, that was the sign to pull the trigger.

Ironically, the thing that kept UConn out of the Big East is the same thing that kept them out of other conferences. If their football was anywhere near legit, they could have gotten an invitation to the ACC, B1G, or Big 12.

I also thing the slight decline of the women's program played a role. Big East is not super strong in Wimmens, and ND is gone, but at least they have rivalries.

UCONN would be better off going independent in football ( like BYU ) imo . Easier to raise your profile doing that and could set up a move to a P5 in both sports down the line . But great news on the CBB front . BE should've grabbed Cincy too but baby steps

When conference realignment started UCONN just went to a BCS bowl game.

The problem is CT isn't considered a big market.

the big10 taking Rutgers over UConn was killer, and who knows what Louisville did to slide in over UConn at the very last second a few years ago.
