Big East Tourney

My second favorite team won.

My second favorite team is whatever team us playing Yukon.
 
I'm not a Georgetown fan. I don't follow the team except when they play St John's. I  appreciate a Cinderella team and will root for the Hoyas to win the BET championship on Saturday. It would be a impressive accomplishment for Coach Ewing after only 4 seasons.

Creighton has the advantage. The Hoyas are fatigued after playing 3 games since Wednesday. Creighton has a much better season record. That would make a Cinderella win even sweeter for the Hoyas. 

It should be an exciting matchup. Let's see which team wants it more.

I was a Knicks fan growing up, James Dolan has completely killed that, so there’s a part of me that always likes Ewing. 

Saying that, Lets Go Creighton! 
 
As a St Johns and Big East fan, I am rooting for Georgetown to win the Big East Championship. This is the only way the Conference will get 4 NCAA tourney bids.
 
I hope R.J. Cole will be ok. I hate seeing any player hit the floor that hard.

Reminded me of Rasheem Dunn's fall in St John's opening season game. He struggled after the concussion injury for over a month. 
 
UConn loses. Happiness ensues. 

As much as I hate Georgetown generally, it is hard not to like Patrick Ewing. Plus a strong Georgetown is good for the Big East. Creighton and UConn are already in the NCAA Tourney, so I'll be cheering for The Hoyas.
 
Seeing GTown , UConn , SH , Creighton in last night's games just amplifies the need for the true big man in the middle . And , they need be closer to 7' than 6''8 or 6'9 and bulky enough to handle the inside Rebounding , shot Blocking , etc .   UConn - Creighton was a very good game just because it was so competitive , coming down to the last shot . But , otherwise neither team played especially well . They both missed a lot of shots . Bouknight had a so so game and didn't dominate like many fans thought he would . Maybe still affected by the Cramping issue of the DePaul game .  Zegarowski was solid , not spectacular but , did enough down the stretch . He's a Junior I think and probably will be back but , who knows in this year of Transfer Free Agency ?     You have to hand it to Ewing . He got his team peaking at the right time and they have momentum .  Considering he lost McClung and Akingo GTown last year , he's done a excellent job in this Covid season . The kid Harris is going to be a handful for us and the other BE teams next year . He's gotten better as the season wore on ..  I think Creighton still has too much for the Hoyas but , we will see .. Still disappointed we didn't get it done vs Seton Hall . This Year's tourney was pretty wide open as results to date hsve Indicated .  
 
No doubt St. John's needs a big man, but even without one if they just would have a couple more jump shots or made a couple more throws they win.    31 percent

Everyone runs down court after a miss . It's frustrating .

Anyone who says it's hard not to like Patrick Ewing did not live through 1981-85.

Georgetown was hated then, Ewing at the top of the list, and their smug fans thinking their high academic standards made them superior humans to lowly St. John students.

Ah, memories of Kevin Williams.
