Around the Big East

Providence struggling against a bad Bryant team without Dumn and Bentil.

 

[ccnobz]

Is Dunn hurt too ?

 

[logen]

First real look at Marquette, pretty tough especially if the guards remember Ellenson and Fisher are in the game.

Nice win for Marquette over Wisc. on road by 2

FYI

The 2014–15 Marquette finished the season 13–19, 4–14 in Big East play to finish in a tie for ninth place. They advanced to the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament where they lost to Villanova.

With maturation of holdovers & solid additions you can become competitive in short order in college hoops IMO. Here's to hoping!

Let's hope Butler knocks off Tennessee now. Butler is up 5 at the half.

8-2 and 7 in a row. Wins over Wisconsin, Arizona State, and LSU. Really think the Big East will be interesting this year. Nova won't dominate it like the last 2 years.

Stating the obvious, Butler is much improved offensively, averaging 90+/game, Beat Vols by putting 94 on board in win today.

Gtown with the win in what looks initially like a bad win but unc Wilmington is the best team in their conference and can flat out score. Not that they have a daunting schedule but they will end up something like 24-4 and scare some teams in the tourney if they win their bid.

Not BE but George Washington is currently beating Rutgers 23-2 halfway through the first half

Can we play them again?

Wow. That's crazy.

Big 10 as a whole has been very unimpressive.

X looks Final Four good. They should be ranked top 3 based on how they've played. They've won every game by at least 9.

Except there are 2 halves; just kidding. Xavier IS very tough but Cronin is a great coach and Cincy is right back in it

No BE, but Texas beats UNC with a buzzer beater. Love to see ACC go down.

Nice win for Xavier

Agree, especially NC or Duke.
