Around the Big East

What the hell is Providence doing?  You're supposedly a top 10 team, you're playing a team that played OT last night at noon today, and you don't bury them?  I mean Providence isn't really built to bury anyone but this is disgraceful

Patrick Ewing on his future as #Hoyas coach: "Of course I want to be back here, but in this position, in this job, whatever happens will happen. I’m hoping I’ll be back and doing something that I love at a place that I love and getting us back to being the king of the hill.”

I absolutely hate Patrick Ewiing but respect how much of a warrior he AND Chris Mullin are.  They were both born to win, and that fueled their intense ability to compete at the highest levels.   Going winless in conference is as bad as it gets, and for his sake I hope he is afforded one more year to right the ship, as much as I hate saying that.

Providence a smoke and mirrors team.  Top to (near) bottom in the big east was pretty close this season.

Nate Watson taketh points, and Nate Watson giveth points away.  Ouch.  Hit a damn free throw, big fella
 
Butler loses to PC by 4, but really played tough the last two games and deserves kudos. 

PC has to their credit closed well this year, but I just don’t see them advancing beyond first round of Dance

And Providence is going to have a win that is emblematic of all of their wins all year.  Just somehow make the plays and find a way at the end.  The antithesis of our group, that makes just enough mistakes to lose
 
PC dodged a bullet.
Can’t believe Butler didn’t foul.

What a block by Minaya protecting a 1 point lead.

I think they're balanced enough, play good defense and are very experienced to make some run in the NCAA.
 
I always found Cooley to be a bit of a phony. He is talking up the Garden and the BE Tournament while acting like him and Lavin are best friends. 

Meanwhile, he made it pretty clear during the post game handshakes how Cooley really felt about Lavin when he was coaching here.

Ed is a charmer when winning, not so often on losing side

 I'm with MM52.  Providence is using the old Pitt approach under Howland and Dixon - play low scoring, close games and then beat you by 3 at the end by being tougher and executing better than you do.  That's a tough tightrope to walk deep into the NCAA tournament.  Not impossible that they will, but I think they're the most likely Big East team to be an upset victim.
 
I'll always root for BE to do well in the tournament to show the world how good the teams are and, in recent years, how overrated the B10 and now ACC really are.
 
McDermott is such a solid coach, Creighton beats  M’Q by 11

Creighton putting the hammer down on PC and embarrassing the Friars .  I didn’t realize it until they showed on the Screen that Creighton had 3 of their Freshman on the BE All Rookie team . Nembhart , Kamala and Alexander .    McDermott  rebuilt most of his team from last year .   He certainly is one of the Elite Coaches in the BE and has Creighton a NCAA team every year .  He has the formula .
