Around the Big East 19/20

Great win for Nova over #57 Mississippi St (KenPom). They're young but putting it together just in time.
 
[quote="Knight" post=364272]Much too early in the year to make postseason predictions.[/quote]

That's not what the bracketologists do, though.

I mean yes, this early, there probably is some predicting in making this out, but they're whole thing is, "how would the tournament look, if today were Selection Sunday?" That's not predicting, IMO. At least, it's not predicting how teams will do.

Nova's got a good mix of talented freshman and sophs/juniors with plenty of experience in BE play. They will be fine as season goes on.
 
Many posters said it last year. Georgetown's growing pains with 2 freshman guards was going to pay off in the long run. I'm pretty sure Gtowns early lead over Duke won't last, but Akinjo & McClung are going to give the BE hell this year.

G'town looks to have somewhat adopted Virginia's Pack Line defense. The principles are quite similar.

G'town often turns over the basketball, too. I view 'em as being topsy-turvy.

Duke is shooting 4 of 18. I know they have lots of talent but they are young. They may be a good team but if they weren’t named Duke I am not sure they would really be ranked #1.

Zebras will bail them out

They already are... that said, Akinjo has the Geno Lawrence head-fake foul down...

On cue they screw McClung
 
Leblanc?! Dunk that ball! I hate Duke. Wahab has tools but is sooo raw and needs some coaching in there. Gotta change matchup at times for Wahab.
FWIW Trey Jones May end up being the new Grayson Allen. A lot of underhanded stuff out there ie. Tripping etc.

Listening to that Halftime Report I would have thought teams played well. That half was not pretty.

Creighton announces AC Preston Murphy has left his post “to pursue other opportunities in basketball.” Murphy was one of the assistant caught on FBI video in Vegas in 2017 accepting $ from undercover agents — but he was never charged with a crime. Was on leave since the summer

Any word on Creighton and Institutional control? Or is that concept only applied when it’s convenient? :whistle:

This post aging very well.

Georgetown got hosed by a phantom foul call. Completely stole momentum from the Hoyas.

It’s unreal. These horrible calls are stealing any drama from this game
 
Refs officially have officially slipped on the Blue Devil jerseys. I thought Louis Orr was going to get killed by Ewing. Man I don’t like either school but the calls in this game have been embarrassingly B-A-D.
 
If he can stay on the floor Yurtseven is going to be virtually impossible to stop.

Kid can go left or right on the block with serious skill.

With Carey out of the game he is posting up everyone on Duke and they can't stop him.

Agree. He has been very impressive in this game.
