Around the Big East

Wojo has been least impressive Big East coach last couple years. Not getting enough out of his players and dislike his style. Still think he needs time though.

SHU right on cue with a bad loss to Creighton.
 
FINAL: Creighton 82, Seton Hall 67. Jays dominated final 28 min. Willard big statement by benching Whitehead, Delgado. Boos at final whistle

I only saw a couple possessions of the game. But "supposedly" some discipline issues going on. Any assistant coaching jobs available on the Pirates' bench? They still have more than enough time to rectify things, but I have a hunch this isn't gonna end well.

Willard may take his father's job at Louisville when he retires after this season. :)

Shocking.
 
Willard has that program out of control. Too many attitudes he can't handle. He constantly is blaming every misstep on lack of hustle or a poor practice. He's an excuse-maker like Norm, except that Norm was a much better guy. I think he can coach better than Norm but he needed too much help building this team with outside help that he's constantly in a power struggle. Can't lead effectively.
 
Gary Parrish;
Providence just won at Butler. Friars are 13-1 with wins over Arizona/Butler. Lone loss to Mich State. Ed Cooley is a legit COY candidate.

List of bad coaches in this league would be wicked short.

Yeah, well Williard and Leitao are threatening. On the other side Wright, Mack, Cooley, McDermott and Holtmann are really good and hopefully Chris will prove he is too. JTIII firmly stuck in the middle.

And like Norm, Willard's been over his head since Day 1. Barring a miracle, will be gone at the end of the season.
 
Nova, with another big win at Butler. Jay Wright continues to dominate the Big East proving the Wildcats to be the team to beat again in the new Big East.
 
A great transfer pickup;

Congratulations to @BluejayMBB point guard Maurice Watson Jr. on being named #BIGEASThoops Player of the Week

Yeah, too bad Dunn had to rain on their parade with that last second step back jumper at the buzzer. Kid is just incredible, knows when to take over a game.
 
2 top 5 teams incoming...?

This week's results:

#1 Kansas: L @ #11 WVU, W vs TCU
#2 Oklahoma: W @ OK State. W vs #11 WVU
#3 Maryland: L @ Michigan. W vs OSU
#4 Michigan State: L vs #16 Iowa, L @ Wisconsin
#5 UNC: W vs NC State
#6 Nova: W vs Marquette, W @ G'Town
#7 Xavier: W vs DePaul, W @ Marquette

#8 and #9 Miami and Duke were 0-4 combined this week, so they won't be passing X or Nova.

X and Nova will obviously pass Michigan State. Should pass Maryland. Don't think they'll pass Kansas. So likely they'll be ranked #4 and #5. Worst case scenario #5 and #6.

This week's top 25 is a complete mess.
 
Say what you want about Nova post season swoons, but you have to be impressed with;

"The Wildcats still own the Big East, off to another dominant start, at 6-0 in the league and 16-2 overall. Since the formation of the new league, Villanova is a remarkable 41-5 with two regular-season crowns and one postseason title. Xavier, Georgetown and Butler were supposed to unseat Jay Wright’s team this season, yet the sixth-ranked Wildcats have defeated all three, winning on the road twice to prove the Big East still goes through Philadelphia."

Xavier is plain & simple a consistent, successful program. Xavier teammates earn Big East Player Honors: Player of the Week is Trevon Bluiett, Freshman of the Week goes to Edmond Sumner.
 
A first for the new Big East, 2 top 5 teams. Nova #4, Xavier #5. Also Providence #16, Butler #18.

Hoping Xavier can grab a #1 seed this year. Would rather see them get one than Nova. Although, it is possible both could get a #1 seed.
 
It's going to be tough for them to get much higher. Especially with the beat down Oklahoma gave Nova.
