Xavier survives, kudos to DePaul.

Creighton's starting 5 can play with anyone. Sucks for any team playing them in the tournament since they'll be seeded a bit lower than they should be.

Agree . DePaul ran out of gas in the last 4 minutes . Just like they did against us . Turnovers , etc and poor shot selection did them in . The kid Murphy missed on a 1 and I down the stretch that would have put them in a good place a s then , turned over the ball on their next possession . They , like us , had a chance to throw the BE seedings into a turmoil but , it wasn’t to be .

Surprised the way a healthy Nova team went down last night.
Think Uconn will win a competitive game vs Marquette and Creighton will prevail over a Xavier team that is down to a six man rotation.

Creightons rotation not much bigger. Think uconn will benefit from facing either of those two teams.

Please don't tell me you think that Pukon will win the BE Tournament. Please!!

I’m afraid so

 

[TonyinFairfield]

I’m afraid so

Yeah. I guess you're right. It'll only increase their drunk fans that they own MSG even more.

Marquette sends UConn back to Storrs.
Prosper totally shutdown Hawkins.

How the hell does Yukon not call a timeout there? They left 2 on the clock. Too bad St. John's blew it yesterday. They would have trashed Yukon, and then won the whole thing. But then Anderson would not have been fired.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

I’m gonna say it again, as good as the BET is, this crew is brutal.

 

[bamafan]

Kolek played great game until he got in foul trouble

Loved seeing Hawkins get shut down and loved seeing Calcaterra choke down the stretch

I am the only one who thinks the BE is going to have a great tourney? I still think UConn and Marquette are better than Alabama, Creighton is the best team in terms of structure for a tourney run.

Xavier I cannot get a good handle on, but they are stacked and have a great coach. All four can easily make Sweet Sixteen and aside from Big 12 BE will have the most teams in the Sixteen

Kam Jones, to John Fanta postgame:

“Well, it was a short stay in their (UConn’s) second home. We wish them a safe trip back to their first home.”

 

[espken]

Kam Jones is a baller

I liked Xavier a lot more with Freemantle. I fear an early exit for them

They look great tonight. Creighton's offense looks like a Mike Anderson offense

 

[fordham96]

So other than DePaul a 10 beating SHU a 7 the BET has been chalk. All 4 top seeds made semis and top 2 looking like the Final.

 

[L J S A]

I'd like Marquette much better as a 4 seed. If they end up as a 2 I don't have high hopes for them going far.
