Around the Big East

''limited offensively''? Averaging 18 ppg while shooting 60% from 3. We should have a player so limited offensively.

Yes, he is shooting 60% from 3, but that is based on making 3 of 5 attempts for the season. Hardly a three point demon.
Stats can be deceiving to say the least. I’ve actually watched some of their games and Creighton is not going to be a top three Big East team this year. Very confident in making that statement.

MG, early yet and don’t necessarily disagree but for sure we are good enough to finish 3rd and there is just no way we don’t get three teams in. We control our destiny.

I agree NC Johnnie, it going to come down to how bad our guys want it.

Butler beats Miss. State 87-77 with lights out shooting performance

Big win for Butler over Miss State. They’ve seemed to have figure some stuff out since losing to Austin Peay. I was always skeptical their big guy Screen was a BE caliber player but they are getting some mileage out of him lately against decent competition

Matta is a great coach, wouldn’t surprise me if he figures out how to breakthrough this year

Bulter, Marq, and DePaul are problem happy with their start of the season. The rest of the BE probably feel like they let a couple games slip through their fingers.

Against power schools he is averaging 8 ppg which you may say is a small sample size of 3 games but also you just threw out his 3P% of 3-5 shooting. I knew not to take your posts seriously but this just confirms it.

Are those the games he played with pneumonia?

They'd need to add Fedor Žugić to have any chance.

Nice of someone to call Hurley out for his behavior

UConn coach Dan Hurley's hot-headed antics are an embarrassment to college basketball, his program and himself

There are ways referees can manage a game. One is too politely approach the bench and briefly in a firm.but non confrontational tone warn Hurley (or any coach), "I heard you. That's enough. Next one gets you a technical".

Big name coaches have a lot of control over assognments and a ref's career. The ncaa has to get serious about this an not just words.

Maybe the committee will take Wusu's illness into consideration

Monmouth has the best player on the court. Abdi Bashir will be an interesting portal guy
