Around the Big East

If Providence is relying on Cardet for significant shot making, they’ll be in serious trouble

We will beat Creighton twice.

Not even baseball. Kalkbrenner

We will beat Creighton twice.

Are you aware Kalkbrenner's had a 49 point game this season?

 

[tom in salem]

Anyone else getting concerned about the poor Big East performances against other conference teams this far? Could bite us come Selection Sunday.

Might only get 3 bids again.

It’s concerning yes but we still have everything in front of us. We control our own destiny if we go have a great season we’ll be fine

 

[dk423]

It just means that this year, our margin for error is slimmer than we thought it would be. I also think we’re significantly better than most of these teams

 

[Alex9045]

If there was ever a year for the Johnnies to challenge for the Big East crown...it's now.

 

[MugCostanza]

If there’s no drama or multiple key injuries with us then there’s no reason we can’t go something like 15-5 or 14-6 in which case we’ll be well positioned come selection Sunday as long as we win the rest of our OOC schedule.

The only team it’s mildly acceptable to get swept by is Marquette but we should be able to split with them.

Reasonable to split with UConn, Creighton and X.

Win 5/6 vs Villanova, Butler, Providence.

Must sweep all of SHU, DePaul, Georgetown.

14-6 should be the reasonable goal. 13-7 the acceptable floor. Anything 12-8 or worse would be a failure.

Are you aware in his 3 games against power teams he has scored 4, 11, and 9…

 

[Eric]

You make it sound like it's easy. We'll be lucky to to split with Xavier or Creighton.

Stop. I guess let’s end the season? Relax. We will be fine.

 

[paultzman]

Early, but M’Q interesting

 

[paultzman]

Butler seems more competitive this year.

Are you aware he's been playing with mono while being double/triple teamed? I get it, you're not a fan.

Butler seems more competitive this year.

That man can coach.

Might only get 3 bids again.

I thought last year was an outlier, and maybe so. But I’m getting concerned.

 

[GardenCity62]

Who cares if the big east only gets three bids as long as we are one of the three.

 

[NCJohnnie]

I thought last year was an outlier, and maybe so. But I’m getting concerned.

We can take all the worries out by finishing in the top 3. We are definitely talented enough to do so. Just bought Peacock for $1.99 a month for 6 months via their Black Friday deal - ready now for Harvard, Depaul, Creighton & Gtown all on Peacock.

Providence is now playing their 3rd game in 3 days, including 2 games that are barely more than 12 hours apart. Have to question whoever signed off on that, but it makes our schedule in the Bahamas look like a walk in the park.

Atlantis and Maui MTE’s have always been 3 games in 3 days. Consolation brackets have never been favorable and understood as punishment. Want to avoid it, just win.

But doesn’t the winners bracket also play on 3 consecutive days?

Yes, but not 13 hours later.
