Would like to see Creighton beat Nebraska tonight. Should be a fun game.

DePaul is at Drake tonight as well. Would like to see DePaul steal a road win. Would be helpful for RPI if they could.

Looks like both are locking up wins tonight--two decent wins for possibly the two bottom teams in the league. Providence flushed BC (pun intended) and St. John's outlasted Niagara.

Nice - bottom of te league getting some nice wins with Creighton over Nebraska and DePaul over Drake - goooood stuff

Really good to see the bottom of the league performing well. Rack up as many wins as possible pre conference. We are 67-19 overall.

I would like to see as many teams as possible with 10 or more wins prior to conference play. Especially the bottom half teams. I think we can get there for sure after we take into account Stetson , which comes after the league play starts. A win over the Badgers would of course get us there sooner. Seton Hall would need to win all four of their remaining non conference. If they do so that would include one over Wichita State. Creighton has 3 more winnable but would have to beat Oklahoma again this year to get to 10 . Georgetown has four more till conference play and then U Conn in January. So possible for them to get to 10. Depaul has 4 more of which 3 are tough Northwestern, Stanford and George Washington. If they could steal one of those that would be fine. St. Johns has 4 more , two tough Syracuse and South Carolina.

In one of the Fox pregame shows , Steve Lavin was quoted as saying based on power ranking of the league it looks like 6 bids again.

Seton Hall gets a win over Troy only game of the evening.

Do we have the best conference winning % for non-conference play?

Right now we are 2nd in conference RPI

X up big early, started out 10-1 before the first Cincy field goal. 13-3 5 minutes in.

Very good win for Xavier tonight against Cincy . They are getting a lot of respect for their performance so far this year.

DePaul getting hammered by Little Rock in their little on campus gym.

A great example of why DePaul can't get any traction. Would have been a nice chance to rack up a win versus an undefeated team. At home in the bandbox gym. Yet they can't even sell out a 3,000 seat on campus arena on a Saturday night and are getting spanked. The announcers even think it is embarrassing for DePaul. I have no idea who is going to go to games in their new arena.

At least the rest of the league did well today. Butler had a nice win over Tennessee as well.

At what point does DePaul start getting in trouble for being so bad? I know they beat us last year...But last year was probably as bad as MU has been in 2 decades. This DePaul program is simply embarrassing.

To be fair, UALR also has road wins at San Diego State and Tulsa, both teams that came into the season with NCAA aspirations. The Blue Demons aren't close to the best team UALR has defeated on the road. DePaul should be better (at least competitive) at home, but this is year one of Leitao taking over the dumpster fire that Purnell left behind. Not saying I think Leitao is a great (or even good, or even adequate) hire, but it's hard to lay too much blame at his feet right now.

Leitao is actually a pretty good coach. Not sure if his recruiting will be as good as his first stint at DePaul but if he can get some talent there he will be okay.

One thing I remember about Leitao is his disparaging remarks about Marquette and Crean on various Chicago radio stations. The guy comes off as a arrogant ass which is why I loved how poorly he did at Virginia. A little come-uppance for the attitude.

Dumpster fire? I don't claim that I follow DePaul closely but I do live in Chicago. I thought Purnell was doing a decent job given the inherent limitations. Not that I'm blaming Leitao but they looked terrible last night.

It may not all be Purnell's fault, but there's no way around that program being a shambles. JLP is as much to blame as anyone, and she's still there, but it's a terrible situation Purnell left behind regardless.

That's where I'd put the responsibility. Coach K couldn't win there with her.

Said two weeks ago, Syracuse is a fraud and it's looking more and more like that.
