Around the Big East

[Amaseinyourface]

I just don’t think Creighton makes it. Their lack of depth is alarming to me. These guys wear down. Gotta have at least 2 that can help you off the bench.

Prime time for Johnnies.

Ooof 0-8 from Alexander. That’s where not having capable bench options hurts you.

Hey RMN, aside from Rowan Barrett who were some of the other Canadian players St Johns has had over the years?

I think Collin Charles was Canadian

 

[espken]

I recall Collin Charles playing 3 years for us before completing his college career at Quinnipiac.

Bill Wennington is the most famous Canadian I am aware of.

 

[espken]

Wennington and Barrett both have represented Team Canada in the Olympics.

I believe Rowan Barrett is the “GM” of the Canadian National Team. Not sure what he does but sounds important.

He's getting Freddie Lyson to apply for dual-citizenship...

Bill Wennington, Colin Charles until Jarvis ran him off the team, off the top of my head.
The kid who transferred from Vermont last year, Stef Smith.

7 of the 10 Big East teams playing today:

South Carolina at Georgetown noon on FS1
Oklahoma at Villanova 12:30 on CBS
Tennessee Tech at Butler 2 pm on FS1
Depaul at Loyola of Chicago 4 pm ESPN+
Wisconsin at Marquette 4:30 FS1
Providence at Rhode Island 5 pm on ESPNU
West Virginia at Xavier 6:30 on FS1

Nova, Marquette & Xavier games should all be interesting. Maybe Georgetown can knock off SC at home?

Rhode Island hasn’t been great this year. Tough road spot for providence can’t afford that loss.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

not a game the BE can’t win today. Home games against quality opponents for nova (down 4 early) Xavier and Marquette. DePaul and providence winnable games on road. Gtown looking like they will take care of business vs South Carolina.

 

[NCJohnnie]

Whitmore playing today for Nova. 6'8" with a good handle.

Physically he’s imposing. In time he looks like a serious problem.

The Hoyas can thank the refs as there was a clear intentional foul missed on the Hoyas or the Gamecocks had a breakaway layup to win the game.

Georgetown is really bad... You know your team is really bad, when you're up double figures at home against a really bad team and you let them come back.

They threw the flag for pass interference after review lol

They got called for a flagrant foul. Gamecocks get 2 shots and the ball. How in the world do you pick up a flagrant foul up 1 with 5 seconds left... Only Georgetown. Literally all you have to do is get back and put your hands up and they throw up a wild shot.

The right call. The Gamecocks had their chance to win it at the line but only makes one outta two. They can still win it here in regulation or it's OT.
