Creighton @ Xavier tomorrow.
Go Wragge.

I believe they play Marquette. But we need them to lose also, so it's the same thing.

@zkeefer: Kameron Woods has been temporarily suspended from the #Butler basketball team, per coach Brandon Miller.

Did he play tonight?

No. That hurt their already weak interior.

Need Creighton to beat Marquette tonight.
Creighton currently leads 19-15 with 13 minutes left in 1st half.

 

[tom in salem]

Creighton up 7 @ the half.
Need this one.

 

[Marillac]

51-41 Creighton with under 14 minutes left. Marquette just can't shoot the ball. 1-8 from three and 10-17 fro the line.

A win helps a few ways tonight.

 

[tom in salem]

Marquette down 15, 3 to go
4th place sounds nice

There goes any chance at an at-large bid. They'll have to win the BET now at 15-11.

@JonRothstein: Xavier's final five regular season games: at Georgetown, at St. John's, Creighton, at Seton Hall, Villanova. Arduous slate.

Kenpom wrote an interesting column speculating on what would be the Big East standings had Pitt$, and $yracuse not started the exodus from the Big East.

Here is how Kenpom speculated the standing would have been (as of February17th)

1. Syracuse
2. Louisville
3. Villanova
4. Pitts
5. Yukon
6. Cincy
7. StJohns
8. Marquette
9. Providence
10. Georgetown
11. Notre Dame
12. Seton Hall
13. DePaul
14. RUTgers
15. South Florida

Note: both Kenpom and others currently give the(new) Big East a higher RPI than the ACC

 

[paultzman]

Interesting line. All about match ups I guess;

@BEandBeyond: Seton Hall favored by 1.5 over Georgetown tonight. Can the Hoyas pull off the "upset"?

 

[tom in salem]

G'Town 2 point dogs @ SH tonight.

 

[Russ2374]

Hall up 9.

I'd put us at 5 as of now

Hall up 9.

Gtown season on the ropes. They are down 15 with 13 minutes to play in that game. If they lose this one they go to 2 games under .500 in the conference.

and listen to their final four games: Xavier, @ Marquette, Creighton, @ Nova.... that ain't no fun
