Creighton’s demise was greatly exaggerated.
Looking to become the 3rd Big East team to reach sweet 16.

And not a stretch to think we might get two into the Elite 8 with Creighton - Princeton and UCONN - Arkansas both very winnable games.

Eric Musselman vs Danny Hurley, who is more arrogant?

Agree, but Hurley's our arrogant a-hole (right now anyway) so I'll root for him.

 

[vegasman2000]

Think going deep in a tournament like this there will be games where you definitely want him. They didn’t look better without him against Marquette in BE champ and the first 25 minutes vs Kennesaw

There is no way they are a better team without Freemantle.

4th foul on Kalkabrenner was crazy--he was pushed to the floor then Baylor guy trips over him as he was covering his face. That said baylor shut him down but the guards stepped up big time

 

[vegasman2000]

Kansas State with some cold blooded 3’s about to send the Kentucky Calipari’s home.

I have them in the final game vs UConn. In third place in the pool right now. I may live to regret it. But I have faith in UConn Creighton and KState

 

[vegasman2000]

I said a few weeks ago that I thought Xavier, Creighton and UConn were scarier tournament teams than Marquette...

No team with a top two seed who started the season unranked has made the Final Four. Average games for those teams is 2. I had Mich State winning

Great win for Creighten--Big East 3 of final 16

This 2h in FDU/FAU is a barn burner so far.

 

[NCJohnnie]

3 from SEC, 3 from Big East and possibly 3 from Big 12 if TCU knocks off Gonzaga. Big East looking pretty darn good at the end of the first weekend.

and the refs are letting them play--could be getting nasty as 2 "hungry. junkyard dogs" fighting over a bone.

 

[vegasman2000]

The crowd is understandably so pro-FDU that it is as if FAU is in the road. Fwiw I loved FAU and picked them to beat Purdue. Very efficient team in both ends, and top 15 on cold dope.

We really need a final four team though. Have to show that the conference is more than Nova

Just not Pukon.

We don’t have to do anything. The big ten is continually disappointing in the tournament and the committee isn’t restricting the amount of teams from there that get to the dance.

The Big East is fine. And it will continue to be fine even if our 3 remaining teams lose next weekend

Xavier metrics have trended upward since Freemantle was injured, numbers don't lie.

 

[espken]

FDU falls to FAU, what a story it would have been for them to play a sweet 16 game at MSG. Nonetheless 2 wins for an NEC team in the big dance is amazing enough.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Damn that was a hard fall that miami guy took

 

[Moose]

Thought we were gonna see a fight at the end of FDU FAU
