Providence isn’t very good

Is Providence a top 10-15 team?  Probably not.  To say they're not "very good" is dumb. 

[Shark]

Chef’s kisses

What? They could be 2 point favorites as a 3 seed. They are what they are.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t good.  Doesn’t mean DePaul is better than them.  Providence is a 9-pt favorite via KenPom tonight.  If Marquette losing on the road to Butler means doom and gloom, Providence fans should probably send Cooley to the moon, right?  Or maybe things happen in sports

Stop it.  The insanity only applies to Marquette.

I think MU is much better and I expect better. Providence is a fraud and if they lose I wouldn’t be surprised

[MuggsyB]

Has the sleeping giant awakened in Chicago? Lots of game left but DePaul is playing with confidence.

Nah, Providence isn’t good

[MuggsyB]

Nah, Providence isn’t good

They're not as good as their ranking.

[Uncle Rico]

They're not as good as their ranking.

Yeah, they’re terrible. 

[Herman Cain]

Cooley & Company on the ropes versus DePaul

[MuggsyB]

Yeah, they’re terrible.

They're 20-2 but "terrible"?

[Uncle Rico]

They're 20-2 but "terrible"?

Yeah.  Anyone that loses at home to DePaul is terrible.  You shouldn’t have any expectations for Providence

[bradforster]

This game is far from over but DePaul will be a much better team in the Marquette rematch. 

[MuggsyB]

Apparently they don't call moving screens on Providence.

Dont get me wrong its impressive as hell that Providence wins every single close game(and they play in a lot).

But if they dont lose one soon, im going on record that they will be so overdue for one that whether its BET or NCaa tourney. They lose the first nailbiter they play.

Law of averages going to come.

David Jones is a daydream believer today.

[Johnny B]

fraud team. worst regular season big east champs ever

[MuggsyB]

Jones on DePaul has a huge upside.  I wouldn't be surprised if he makes an NBA roster.

I agree with this analysis but if I’m a Friars fan, I’m enjoying the hell out of this season

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

DePaul gonna be tough. Jalen Terry has been playing great. They may be stronger without the BE leading scorer.

[dad's couch]

Help me out. I can't find the margin of victory in the standings. I can find wins, losses and winning pct. But nothing about win margin. Why is that?

[Uncle Rico]

That’s dodging a bullet

[brewcity77]

Because you aren't looking at the standings that matter.

[Herman Cain]

Cooley & Company dig deep to dodge that bullet. Well done .

There has been a lot of talk, including on Scoop, of LaVall Jordan's shortcomings and of him perhaps coaching his final season at Butler.

I don't follow their program very closely, so all of that might be true. However, if you didn't know any of that and watched yesterday's game, you might have thought:

"Butler was the more aggressive, more prepared-looking team. They had absolutely no problem with Marquette's pressure defense. They had an answer every time Marquette rallied. They didn't let Marquette do what Marquette wanted to do on either end of the court. If a guy who was shooting 25% from 3-point range didn't surprisingly hit four straight desperation 3s for Marquette, Butler would have won going away. Butler looked like a pretty well-coached team."
