Big East Play Thread
« on: December 28, 2016, 04:47:18 PM »
I figured we should start a thread to discuss Big East results and general conversation throughout the season. 

I will start the discussion out with this...what is the best case distribution of wins and losses to get the most possible BE teams into the dance.  I think something along these lines:

Villanova:    13-5
Butler:        12-6
Creighton:  12-6
Xavier:        11-7
Seton Hall:  10-8
Marquette:  10-8
Georgetown: 10-8
Providence:   10-8
St. Johns:   2-16
Depaul:       0-18

That could theoretically get 8 teams into the tournament. I think Villanova will probably win 15+ games, however.

Here are tonight's matchups and TV info (courtesy of MUPanther):

5:30pm- DePaul at 1 Villanova, FS1 - Joe Davis, Bill Raftery
Line: Villanova -25

6:00pm Providence at 17 Xavier, FSN - Justin Kutcher, Stephen Bardo
Line: Xavier -11

7:00pm Seton Hall at 9 Creighton, FS2 - Steve Physioc, Nick Bahe
Line: Creighton - 9.5

7:45pm Georgetown at Marquette, FS1 - Tim Brando, Jim Jackson
Line: Marquette -4.5

Georgetown: 9-9
Providence:   9-9
St. Johns:   2-14
Depaul:       0-16

That could theoretically get 8 teams into the tournament. I think Villanova will probably win 15+ games, however.

I think Georgetown needs at least 10-8 to make the NCAA. With the bad loss to Boston College, Providence might need that too. You could subtract some wins from the teams at the top to make that happen. If we have 8 teams finish 10-8 or better, than you definitely would see 8 teams in the tournament.

Unfortunately, I think Nova and Creighton both do better than that. Xavier looks about right. I think Butler ends up 11-7 or 10-8 as well. I'm not sold on them. I also am not sold on Providence. They are a well coached team but I don't think they have the talent to compete with the BEast. I also think St. John's will win one or two they shouldn't and that could sabotage a team's resume. The battle between Seton Hall, Marquette, Georgetown, and Providence will be interesting.

Interesting take. 8 in would be nice. But since you're dealing with hypothetical, wouldn't you turn the 8 teams upside down....give nova the losses and GT the wins. Getting real convoluted, say DePaul or STJ goes 17-1, we could shoehorn 9 in  :P

But I get what you're saying. What's possible. I think 6 in.

Don't know about that. They are within 3 of Nova with 8 minutes left.  And they have the ball.
Have some patience, FFS.

The game shows how when conference play starts, anything can happen. 

A bad Depaul team giving the #1 a run for their money.

in the Big(number challenged), Nebraska is in a nail biter with the tan-one in at Indiana.

Reminder that Depaul was a 26 point underdog.  I don't know where too look it up but I have to believe this is one of the largest point spread in Big East Conference play history.

If Depaul pulls it off, it is a Virginia/Chamanide level upset.

Depaul is bad because of coaching.  Cain and Garrett though are very good players.  If they are playing well, they can be tough.  Problem is they are as undisciplined as ever (most of the time).

Hart: Guts.  0-5 from 3 for the night.  Drills a 3 to put them up 4...then a and-one by Garrett on the other end.

Great game by DePaul. It was coupled by an awful game by Nova, but still good to see. Hope this is a confidence boost for DePaul going forward, except for our two games against them.

PC also lost to Boston College right before Christmas.  BC is the lowest ranked P5 plus BE schools in the country.

PC is playing REALLY BAD right now.

I'm glad we're not playing Nova Sunday. Somebody is gettin' a beatdown.

That would be Creighton

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

They are at Creighton.  I doubt a beat down will be coming.

The close win over Depaul might be the best thing for Nova. A good wake up call to keep them focused.
