Around the Big East

[ChiTown Red]

Georgetown ending... wow... just wow.

Yeah, they got completely screwed. Not sure how the referees could have missed the foot out of bounds on replay review.

 

[Boo Harvey]

Big East very overrated this year. Great opportunity for st johns to finish at the top of the conference and get in the ncaa tourney.

Disagree

When the NCAA committee talks about Georgetown and TCU, obviously GT is not making anything, they should consider this a 2-point win for GT. There is no reason to compound the obvious error by not simply ignoring it.

Craziest, weirdest ending I have ever seen to a basketball game

 

[espken]

NCAA rule does not allow for review of out of bounds call unless it was called on floor--total BS when so clear--Gtown screwed

Totally agree. Dumb rule. This and the LJ steal/inadvertent whistle at Seton Hall are the worst calls ever. Why have replay at all then.

 

[mm52]

Wow, TCU with a miracle 3 to edge the Hoyas.

Georgetown got robbed. Shooter stepped out of bounds.

Crappy rule that, except for clock review, only a call on the floor can be reviewed. But they can't overturn a no call. A mistake is a mistake. Rule makes no sense to me.

I think the point is even if they saw it they can't do anything about it!

Seton Hall Screwjob was the worst.

I recall a St. John’s vs Seton Hall one a coupe of years ago that was, let’s just say bizarre with us getting screwed.

 

[SJU85]

You beat me to it.

Way too soon to declare. Let’s revisit how overrated the conference is in March.

 

[sjc88]

Officiating in ALL sports is awful. Even with replay they still get so much wrong.

 

[logen]

Another example of why replay is idiotic and should never have been implemented! “Let’s get it right”…………sometimes!!!

Kentucky lost at home today to UNC Wilmington. Parity in college basketball is off the charts.

Beautiful isn't it?

It is horrendous coaching that has doomed DePaul.
Their coaching hires the last 3 decades rival our disasters,

Will they find their Pitino?

I'm not sure that we've found our Pitino yet.

 

[Hardy]

Only team in the league with a better record and SOS than sju is Marquette. UConn and providence have just feasted on easy schedules so far. I think some folks underrate how difficult games against those teams ranked 25-150 can be especially neutral court and away.

 

[dk423]

I’ll give you this about UCONN’s schedule. It shows how harmful it is to schedule the Mike Anderson-level cupcakes. It’s mind boggling that they’re rated 300+, but also have beaten Texas, Indiana and North Carolina, while losing to Kansas.
