Big East Basketball Thread

DePaul and Butler a combined 16-0 against D1 competition. Will DePaul be 17-0 when they travel to Nova? Not out of the realm of possibility.

DePaul looked good.

Won a game against a quality opponent when they were clearly not playing their best.

Making the tournament would be a big step for that program.

I was at the gm. It was a fucking blast and court storming made the car ride to the expressway perfect. I’m for storming courts at every sporting event I go to from now on. No traffic

Good to finally see fans in the seats there!

I need DePaul and Butler to run through Big East play only losing to themselves. Gotta keep that tough SOS for the Gophers. Lol. All joking aside, DePaul has out themselves in great shape to make the tournament. They shouldn't lose again OOC, and if they can manage .500 in BE play or a couple games above .500 they'll be fine.

Wow. St Johns takes out West Virginia.

Projected bottom of the Big East pulling major weight.

Doesnt WVU also suck?

Probably, but they were also undefeated.

I also thought St Johns might lose 20 games this year after Mullin left.

Gtown and Marquette just finished off a perfect day for the league.

Impressive all around

DePaul’s offense needs to slow the F down. Playing completely out of control

 

[podsox]

DePaul losses an ugly one. No ranking for you

We don’t suck this year. Honestly we have a few nice wins. But Saturday was awful, we turned the ball over way too much and didn’t make shots.

This team averages almost 75 points a game. Their Defense sucked Saturday too.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Well, so far Gtown has handled the loss of Akinjo(maybe addition by subtraction) and Leblanc well.

Alexander and Gardner have now officially joined them however.

7 scholarship players left.

There is like 5 dudes at the end of Xavier's barking

Yes, barking. Like dogs.

Huge game for SHU on thursday potentially without Powell

I love seeing those losers lose so don't matter to me but theyd be in big trouble at 6-5.

Willard scheduled like a complete fucking idiot. Gave them a bunch of tough high major games but schedule dog shit cupcakes. Therefore their NET and SOS look like shit and they have a bunch of losses.

Cupcake scheduling is a lost art.

Would have been a big game if Powell could play.

Now ... not. But you never know this year.

I think they're still a dangerous team with Powell and Sandro, but no way they win the Big East.

Yeah they are gonna be in trouble if they lose this. Sandro is out a while.

And their non con isn’t gonna look good.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Hats off to NDSU christ they were annoying tonight.

We actually played pretty damn well. Missed some open shots/bunnies but those bastards just kept raining 3s. They finally went ice cold late and it was game over from there.

Two thing we need going into BE.

1. Koby to figure himself the fuck out. Dude can't make anything...except free throws. Hes elite there
2. 2 pt FGs. I think our 3 pt shooting is a bit of a fluke. We suck on twos. Especially Sacar and Markus right now who are our two best guys

How is Providence pick em in this game.

They should be like +10.

Murder. Great start to the day for the league.

Yea, big wins for this conference this week. Seeding just went up a notch regardless of the rest of the games. Absolutely crushed the Big 12.

Seriously though. Providence?

Providence has talent. Good win for them.

Probably best for the league if them and SJU take on the punching bag role once league play starts though.

This is the deepest league top to bottom this year. The round robin format may have teams just continually beating up on each other this year. Would be nice if a couple could become closer to sure fire wins.
