Around the Big East

[paultzman]

Trawick returning from broken jaw has really helped their bench. He's a real chippy guy who could have "fun" with Dom potentially. Cameron is also coming along nicely. Please don't allow Lubick to have another career game against us. Every time I see him against other BE teams, he can't throw the ball into the Atlantic Ocean. Smart passer and decent rebounder though.

Let's beat Seton Hall first.

After PC/GT game last night;

"It seems like Georgetown has demonstrated it can do almost everything, but is only capable of excelling in a few areas at a time. Right now, the Hoyas are featuring strong back court play, an effective offense based on attacking the rim and avoiding turnovers, and much welcomed parity in the free throw department. This has been accompanied by a slip in the team’s defense and a continued struggle by team’s outmanned front court. Tonight’s game reinforces what the Hoyas have already proven themselves to be, a decidedly mediocre bubble team that can produce moments of greatness and horror.

The Great Bubble Adventure of 2014 continues Sunday with another huge game at St. John’s, yet another team quite close to the cut line."

@RogRubin: Marquette (13-10, 5-5 Big East) and Seton Hall (13-10, 4-6) about to tip at the Rock. Rough guess: 500 fans in the arena right now.

A butler win over Xavier tonight would really help us out...

Get it done bulldogs

Talk about an empty arena @Seton Hall.

Marquette up 8 with under 2 minutes to go.

I think we need as many be teams in the ncaa as possible so rooting for Xavier. We need to handle or games and not worry about other teams w's and l's.

ESPN listed the attendance as 6,345

Alabama upset Ole Miss who is a bubble team.

The sec is embarrassingly bad at basketball. I think they could make better teams if they went around the football locker rooms and picked 12 guys.

And their Rpi was 112 before the game, couldnt believe how high it was and the SOS was like 150 or something ridiculous.

A loss would be devastating, after all we have accomplished the last few weeks.

Anyone know why we are so high (#41) in the Pomeroy ratings?
