Around the Big East 18/19

[quote="RedStormNC" post=307008]Wow..what a comeback by UMASS in last five min.

They were hungry and played team ball.

That center is a wide load....[/quote] 45 ate a providence player when no-one was looking and they only played 4 guys the last 5 minutes

Matt McCall is a really good young head coach at UMASS. He is going to be one to watch in a few years.

But you want to understand how good a coach John Calipari is. That guy won 5 straight A10 regular season and conference titles and was in order a 3, 3, 2, 2 and 1 seed in those 5 years in the NCAAs at UMASS. And they have not done squat since....[/quote]
And according to the NCAA, their Final 4 never happened. As Camby received extra “benefits “.

Rashaan Holloway is 6'11 and weighs 595 pounds on an empty stomach. If we played them next week Mikey Dixon would tasked to guard him after Clark fouls out.

For your sake, at least they got beat outright. Would have been more heartbreaking if they had hung on for the win, while not covering the spread.[/quote]
It’s a sickening feeling watching a lead, a win, and a cover evaporate before your eyes.

And he's from . . . wait for it . . . New Jersey! He's had a decent, consistent career, and size that we could have used. I'm sure he was probably ranked in the 200s or 300s, but sometimes you need to take a shot with these type kids, especially ones in tri-state area.

He's an immovable object. Shamorie is an unstoppable force. Interesting combination. All we need is Keita to gain 200 pounds while rehabing.

That kid could never play in our offense. He doesn’t move well and he doesn’t run the floor. He’s just a load that sits in the paint on defense ( which is fine) but offensively, in transition he’s none existent and he can’t move in the half court. How Providence lost that game I have no idea. I watched the first half and they were dominating. One thing about Providence I noticed is that it’s easy to get into the lane on their defense. Ponds will have a field day driving to the hoop. But, they do shoot the 3 really well. At least they did in the first half.

That was 1 year not all 5 and nobody actually thinks they didn't make Final Four anyway, like Louisville didn't win NC in 2013.

Too bad Umass can't go back to challenge. Those "extra benefits" are standard practice today along with bogus classes at UNC, payments to player's families at Baylor, Kentucky, Kansas and Arizona to name a few.
 
Cannot believe PC lost that game. When we left for our neighborhood holiday party they were ahead by 15. Just shows perils of freshman guards which both PC and Georgetown have to deal with this year. Very good in the long term but challenging in the short term.
 
8 Big East games, many of them great ones, on an absolutely loaded Saturday.

12 Noon - Depaul at Northwestern - BTN
12 Noon - Seton Hall vs. Kentucky, from MSG - FOX
2:00 PM - Xavier at Cincinnati - ESPN2
2:00 PM - St. Joseph's at Villanova - FS1
3:30 PM - Georgetown at Syracuse - ESPN
4:30 PM - Northern Illinois at Butler - FS1
5:00 PM - Wisconsin at Marquette - FOX
6:00 PM - Creighton at Nebraska - BTN

The SJU-Princeton game on Sunday is the only Big East game that day, and there are no games on Monday. Light week ahead, as most of the teams are off for exams, but there are a couple of games.

[quote="redstorm89" post=307054]we should have played Kentucky at MSG not seton hall.[/quote]

I believe we tried but it fell through

It's pretty easy to win when you're the only one cheating in your league. It was not like he was coaching in the SEC.

It was Camby who was caught not Calipari. As we can see from the FBI investigations players and families continue to get Camby benefits. Has Kansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Duke, Arizona, USC, Syracuse, Louisville been sanctioned since the Camby scandal? While Umass didn't play in the Big East they got 1 and 2 seeds under Calipari as Fordham references.

72, my comment was specific to the Atlantic 10 where rule breaking is a fraction of what goes on in the bigger conferences. The A - 10 has had 13 schools hit with major infractions compared to 72 at the SEC. All the schools cheat at comparable levels in the SEC where the playing field is level.

Zach at MSG for Ky/Hall game
Seton Hall fans need to be better. Team is coming off 3 straight NCAA bids. Crowds have been bad and they have nobody here. St Johns or Rutgers, if they had success like that, would do so much better. #shbb #sjubb #rhoops
