Around the Big East 25-26

Shaka needs to find the sweet spot re transfer component of roster imo. His philosophy avoiding the portal seems stubborn and foolish.

 

[Hardy]

Shaka smart: gets two transfers who go on to be nba players, makes sweet 16

Also Shaka: never doing that again

Seton Hall

 

[NCJohnnie]

Seton Hall

Providence has to be ahead of Xavier imho.

 

[SJUNC]

Georgetown will be better than expected

 

[Marillac2]

Creighton +700 is the best value.

I have nothing to say. Just quote-posting these .... because.

FYI- St. Louis and Bradley played 5 ten minute quarters. UConn and Michigan State agreed to play their exhibition under the six foul rule. Could have came in handy for Sanon and Sellers v Michigan.

NCAA should be 6 fouls but then again that means more time for Breeding and company to prove their incompetence

It looks like Kentucky is treating the game like an NFL preseason game.

I think we had this discussion before but I would much rather see a penalty; extra foul shot or something of that nature as a certain # of fouls is reached, possibly with escalating penalties, such as not being available for an amount of time as the penalty box in hockey as the # of fouls on a player mounts, rather than a banishment.
Makes a coach still have to manage fouls but doesn’t glue your best players to the bench. So a Richmond logically has to sit for fouling against Arkansas but can still be available at the coaches discretion.

I’m all for something different. 5 is too few if they blow the whistle for every ticky tack or phantom foul.

If you’re not marrying the rules from college to pro (still don’t get how one foot works in college but not NFL) then I’m all for something creative like you proposed.

Aberdeen and Lowe from Kentucky isn't available tonight.

Could not agree more about the reffing and rules.
