Around the Big East

I found this staggering, so wanted to share.

South Carolina is an example of a bubble team with a 21% chance of making the tournament. But look at their upcoming schedule:

After their two buy-games, they literally have all but two conference games being Q1 opportunities. The other two are Q2.

That's why I think the SEC/B10/B12 will ultimately get an unprecedented amount of bubble teams. It's just impossible to compete when the numbers start to mush together like that.

Long-term, it may incentivize programs to schedule much tougher OOCs teams -- which may be more healthy for the sport as a whole.

2 or 3 cupcakes right off the bat and then play real teams. Ive been saying it forever.

The fact that we are playing Delaware in late December is an embarrassment and a completely worthless game.
 
Just about every guy on Marquette can handle the ball and pass. Their ball rotation is really good as is their ability to cover passing lanes and generate steals on other end. Handling Xavier easily up 13 in second half.

Completely agree but also think Zuby will give Marquette all kinds of problems. They are not strong in the middle
 
Butler cuts it to 2. Uconn just going through the motions.

A lackluster performance on the road against an inferior opponent. You need to bring the juice every game.
Lots of parity in college hoops MR. Big East road games are generally not easy. One thing I've noticed is both of UCONN's bigs tend to get into foul trouble. Will be interesting to see how that plays out against Zuby.
