Big East Non Conference Results

[Mr. Nielsen]

 I didn't see him in uniform last year. Remember him doing all those jumping jacks type acts.

[nyg]

So I watched roughly 2 minutes of the DePaul/Murray State game
1) I am fairly confident that UWM gets more fans than are at this game
2) It appears that DePaul ran some sort of student contest where the winner gets to sit at the end of the bench, in uniform and a kid with bleached hair won.  He and the kid next to him are synchronizing cheers of some kind. Not kidding

It’s Morgan St and yes, the audience is very poor.

The kid at the end of bench was there last game, so must be a walk on.  Was dressed the same, goggles and all.  Acting like an idiot and sort of embarrassing as far as I am concerned.

In my defense, has anyone seen Morgan State and Murray State in the same place at the same time?

Wisky favored by 1 to 1.5 at Xavier.  Total is 145.

[Herman Cain]

Looking forward to Xavier stepping up tonight .

[MuMark]

Line has moved to X minus 1

[Herman Cain]

Xavier needs to pick it up in second half

[BM1090]

Xavier needs to pick it up in second half

I don't think they really have another level they can step up to

[Mr. Nielsen]

Holy Cross up on Providence on FS2, 28-22

Cooley better not let us down

[Herman Cain]

Welage sucking.

Cooley better not let us down

Last Providence loss, you stated Cooley screwed us.
Now, it’s better not let us down.

Who is “us”? 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm trying to have faith. Providence always seems to have clunkers in the non-conference season. But if they lose to Holy Cross....that's really concerning

The Big East ,which MU is a beneficiary of.

The Big East ,which MU is a beneficiary of.

Appreciate your passion, but the BE is going to see many non conference losses this year.  Too many programs lost too many veteran and very good players.  You are seeing that with Xavier tonight, playing a UW team that has their top seven players returning, while Xavier lost Bluiett, Macura, O’Mara, etc.  Can’t imagine what Seton Hall is going to be like and MU will have its hands full with their schedule.  Nobody is screwing anybody, just going to be tough games to win. 

[Herman Cain]

Cooley and Company get the job done versus Holy Cross.

[Herman Cain]

Ewing and Associates performing well.

[Herman Cain]

Very good win for Georgetown tonight. They are going to be tough on the road.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Illinois isn't very good, but always tough to win on the road. I think Georgetown is a year away but Akinjo, McClung, and LeBlanc are really good. They will be hell to deal with for the next four seasons.

I think "The Big 3" (Nova, Georgetown, and Marquette) are just about there to start take over and carry the league like people expected them to when the conference was formed.

No offense to Butler, X, Creighton etc. They just don't have the staying power and the resources the those 3 plus St. John's have.

St. John's has been crap for close to 20yrs... not sure they have the staying power the other three do.

I'd personally put Xavier above St. John's. SJU has the location and older history, but Xavier actually has a lot better facilities, resources, and have been a lot better in recent years.

X and Butler have built consistent programs . They both have a good pipeline of recruits. Creighton has a lot of resources and are putting them to use very well.  The.  The benefits of  Big East needs these three to maintain their current record of performance  for two reasons. First, it makes it much easier for Villanova, Marquette and Georgetown to recruit elite players when there are 3 other consistently strong programs in the conference, second it creates a circumstance where Providence, Seton Hall and The Johnnies have to stay strong in order to be in the top half of the conference in any given year.
