Around the Big East

Xavier might blow this one…

X survives. We’re tied for first. Questionable officiating non calls at end.

Wow, Xavier holds on for the wire to wire win at Marquette. Golden opportunity for our Johnnies to seize first place outright in the Big East

Outright?

Crazy Xavier win.

Pumped Xavier won. They are on the low-end of the bubble. No bad losses in OOC but only one Q2 win in OOC (South Carolina). Don't be fooled by their conference record. They lost @Uconn, vs. Marq, vs. STJ, and @Georgetown. They beat Nova and now have their signature Q1 win. Their schedule is still brutal with @STJ, vs. UConn and @Creighton. But if they win one more game and go on a run in February, maybe they can make the tourney. Maybe

One part of me says, I'm happy the upsets are done for the day.
The other part of me says, the home team is going to be due for an upset today.

 

[espken]

Outright?

We would be 7-1, half game ahead of Marquette now 6-1

 

[sirvoo]

Outright?

Yes would be .5 up on Marquette

This is the 46th year of Big East conference play.

It is now the 46th year in which no one has finished undefeated in league play.

McDermott remains my favorite BE coach and possibly my favorite coach, period. The man is tremendous.

Xavier won despite going 2-17 from three; sound familiar?

This is great for the conference. We have 6 teams with legit cases to be in the conversation now with 4 probably in atm. We just need to keep handling our business.

I wasn’t thrilled by the Creighton win. We have to beat them at home or they could easily have a better resume with a season sweep.

Now we possibly will have to play UCONN twice with McNeely which is a better team then the one Creighton beat. Also if UCONN cant get their act together before he comes back they could drop out of the top 30 of the NET which would make our home game a Quad 2 game. If this happens we could only have 4 more quad 1 opportunities.

The Marquette loss was good as it makes our win over Xavier look better.

Lets win tonight grab 1st place, get ranked, get Smith back and win the conference.

U Conn losing is always good. Full stop.

Even better when they lose to a team I like.

Someone stole Coach’s playbook!

I would rather they would lose to us.

I would rather they would lose to us.

No argument here
