2021-22 Big East Conference Results

[MU82]

It’s Eric Collins.  He does Charlotte Hornets games and College hoops for Fox sports.

He worked in Chicago for years. As the Hornets' guy now, he has developed a homer/screamer style, with a bunch of little catchphrases. He actually tones himself down for these national games because he doesn't have a rooting interest. His style really isn't my cup of tea, but at least he isn't boring. He's fine.

[MuggsyB]

Would Chris Mack go there?

[LAZER]

Would Chris Mack go there?

I think he should take the job if offered. Not sure what to make of Mack after this Louisville disaster.

[WhiteTrash]

Would Chris Mack go there?

I think he would but would GU want him. Kinda toxic right now.

[Scoop Snoop]

I think he would but would GU want him. Kinda toxic right now.

True, but GU is kinda desperate right now.

It really depends on what the administration wants. A coach that wins or a coach the runs a clean program.
A school that wants a clean program might hire Wojo. A school that wants to win probably will not hire Wojo. A school that wants a clean program probably would not hire Mack, but a team that wants to win might.

So what’s Shaka?

[YoungMUFan4]

Why does Providence have just one game between Feb 2 and Feb 11th when they have 3 to make up?  Hard to believe they couldn't have fit one or two games in there.

Chris Mack's "unclean program" was because he fired a person he was forced to hire by the university without HR there.

[The Equalizer]

Chris Mack's "unclean program" was because he fired a person he was forced to hire by the university without HR there.

What do you mean by "forced to hire?"

Gaudio was an assistant at Xavier when Mack played there and they were on the same staff under Skip Prosser at both Xavier and later Wake Forest.  They certainly had to know each other pretty well.

And saying that the only issue with Mack was firing an assistant doesn't seem to fit with the story

A Unicorn.

I’m prepared to be attacked by the board on this one but I think Wojo would be a home run hire for GTown.

East coast guy from Baltimore with east coast ties at Duke. Clean and easy to respect. Good recruiter. Knows the BE well and now has experience. Had enough success, but most importantly failure and knows what it’s like to not be wanted (much like our very own Shaka at Texas).

He would step in and want to badly bring GTown back to its glory days. He would want the admiration and respect of the alums and GTown nation.
He would clearly need to hire a defensive minded assistant and hand over the keys of that side of the ball, maybe someone inside the GTown family circle to energize the fanbase.

I think it would be a successful hire for Georgetown, and would be a lot of fun for Marquette fans.
I sign off on the move.

[We R Final Four]

I hope Georgetown grabs him soon, because I want to hear the student section when Wojo walks into Fiserv before this class is gone.
That would be fun.

Hmm. I’ve been wondering if Crean to G’town might be explored.

[JakeBarnes]

TC to DC confirmed.

[Galway Eagle]

Hmm. I’ve been wondering if Crean to G’town might be explored.

Honestly probably wouldn't be a bad hire. Him at Georgia never made any sense to me.

It's Georgetown...it's GEORGETOWN!!

Considering Wojo "led" Marquette to 9th place finish in his 7th year on the job, had zero NCAA wins, and was let go by Marquette?  Pretty sure GTown fans would NOT sign off on that hire.  At all.  I get the East Coast native angle, yet many of Wojo's ace recruits were from the relationships of Stan and Dwayne Killings.

It was mentioned in a different thread that Shaka's results weren't all that different from Wojos.  Well, Shaka won the Big 12 title last year and the Big 12 was and has been a much tougher conference than the Big East the last 7 years.

Texas won the Big Twelve Tournament, not the regular season title.

@HolyLandofHoops
Ok, I understand the @BIGEASTMBB has rules on rescheduling of games, but the fact that Providence doesn’t play a single game all upcoming week and yet has three games that apparently won’t be rescheduled is not great.

I agree.  The Big East rescheduling rules are dumb.
