Around the Big East

That's why you foul, so they can't tie it with a 3ball.

 

[sjc88]

Wow. Gotta foul there no?

Butler is definitely the "surprise team" of the year in the conference. Going 2-2 against these teams will be a great result.

 

[MugCostanza]

Posh playing well but inexplicably lost his man on that game tying 3

 

[tnice]

Every damn BE game this season is gonna be a rockfight, innit?

 

[sjc88]

I mean if we steal one up in the Yukon tonight that would make them 0-2 in the Big East and they might be the best team in the country.

Clingan out 3-4 weeks, FYI.

What’s DePaul’s over under for conference wins? 3?

What’s DePaul’s over under for conference wins? 3?

As long as none of those wins are against SJU.

Providence is very fortunate to have a great young coach like Kim English.

Good things happen for well run Programs. I think Father Shanley is taking us there.

10 rebounds, not 10 steals

Thanks for the correction. Yes, 10 rebounds for Posh, not steals. (And he ended with 2 assists.)

I missed the entire first half of the friar game. Saw the entire second half and overtime. I thought posh played just ok. Clearly teams treat him as having no shooting threat. His only bucket I saw was a back to the basket score as he took his man underneath. It was a very,
Very exciting game.Free throw shooting by both teams was terrible.

Let’s go X! Go 18-2 in conference play!

Let’s go X! Go 18-2 in conference play!

At this point other (non SJ) BE interconference games much less important.
i rooted for every BE team in non conference play.

but if X beats SH today, sure X net up, but SH down by roughly same.
we need to take care of our games.

Didn’t get to it, huh?

Xavier separating itself from SHU. Figured Xavier would take this one.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Xavier crushing the Hall…..this league is nuts.

Xavier crushing the Hall…..this league is nuts.

Seton Hall is "Peacock today, Featherduster tomorrow" vs Xavier.

Hé is shooting 21% from 3, very surprising as you would have thought he would have improved his shooting percentage over 4 seasons. It is not at all impossible to do and I am surprised he didn’t put the effort in during the off season. Would have made a world of improvement in his stats.

Gotta admit I was not enthusiastic about the hire, his two seasons coaching George Mason didn't seem to warrant a Big East contract, but clearly he was a very smart hire and one of the best of the off-season.
