Great contest w Nova v Xavier. Both teams really get at it on D & share the ball. Xavier up 3 at the half.

Macura is killing it, another guy you hate unless he is on your team. Chippy, but a talented hustler.

Watching Jalen Brunson, MCD AA, struggle lately for Nova gives me pause about having super high expectations for LoVett year one. It takes time.

I like Macura. He is a great shooter.

Best sixth man in the Big East. Not only a shooter but is an excellent passer, penetrator and finisher.
 
Xavier will be my pick this year as well. They are the most complete team in the Big East, and even last year they did well in the tournament going to the sweet 16.

I trust Nova more than any other team against weaker, non tournament teams because they're really well disciplined but I don't have much confidence when they play top teams.

As far as their poor showing in the NCAAS maybe its time for Wright to change his guard laden teams.
 
Could another early round loss be the push that results in Jay Wright accepting one of those great offers he gets every year?
 
538k watched the game on FS1 last night
1k below the regular season FS1 record set by Georgetown vs MSU 2 years ago.

No because he can sit at Nova forever with early round exits. Those other schools won't tolerate it

I think this years BET championship is on the Fox network and not FS1. It has to draw ratings this year

Watching the great Xavier fans going wild last night makes you wonder how many will be at MSG in two weeks. Probably a few hundred.
 
Bentil just ejected. Hard foul on desi R. Probably has to miss the next game.

Didn't think it was worthy of an ejection and sitting out the next game.

But in any event, what the heck is happening with Providence?
 
In closing seconds of the game, Spanarkel said "there are no gimmes in his league, just ask anyone who has played St. Johns recently".

I think there are only two possible "next jobs" for him: the 76ers or the Knicks. He might go to a team not named Villanova if he flamed out in the NBA, but I can't ever see him going from Villanova to another school directly.
 
Seton Hall has announced a sellout for Sunday's game against No. 5 Xavier. #hallin

Zach later confirmed that the upper bowl will still be curtained off, which actually gives the Pirates a bigger advantage, IMO.
 
A wacky ending in DC. Butler was up by 14 or 15 points against the Hoyas under 2 minutes in regulation, but now only up by 2 with 28 seconds remaining. Butler has missed 11 FTs today.

14-1 run by the Hoyas in the last 1:51 to force OT. A loss by Butler may be fatal for their NCAA chances.

Some horrible play from Butler down the stretch. It's like they froze up. Roosevelt Jones just fouled out. He'll join Wideman (who fouled out in regulation) on the bench.

Butler continues to clank FTs. They've missed 13 today.
