- Xavier battling #23 Iowa as I type.
- Creighton versus ASU tonight
- Butler after beating WSU takes on #5 Okie State Friday
- Nova after knocking off USC tries for the upset vs. #2 Kansas Friday
- St. John's plays Penn State Friday (okay, not as tough as other matchups but no cupcake)
Would be nice to have one team win a tourney, maybe two.
Xavier looks pretty impressive.
Iowa is no slouch at all
Foul trouble killed Xavier. Gave up a big second half lead (never trailed in regulation) and lost in OT. Missed three 3's to tie in the dying seconds.

I still say Iowa will finish 4th in the Big Ten...they are a solid club.
I could definitely see them overtaking 1 of Wisco, OSU or Michigan.
5th is the safer bet but I think 4th is better chance than 6th.
Butler is down by 7 to undefeated #5 Oklahoma State, with 5 minutes left. Would be awesome for the Big East if they could pull this off.
Penn State beats St. John's in OT.

It is early but the Johnnies have to be the biggest disappointment thus far in Big East. Too much talent to have the losses they do.
Nova holding strong vs Kansas.
Up 21-19 w 3:50 left in the 1st.

Sure, but was anyone expecting anything from St. John's this year? Lavin always seems to have young teams and be breaking in 4-5 each year.
Villanova up 28-19 over #2 Kansas with about 2 minutes left in the first half.

Make that 28-19 nova w 2:26 left and that's after Kansas up 11-2.
Sorry norm.
Creighton getting buried right now by SDSU, down 19 with about 15 to play in the second half.
2 minutes later only down 9
Crummy day for the BE aside from MU, and I suppose Prov at least won. Butler pissed away their opportunities, X gets clobbered in a rematch they had won the first time, SJU loses to the B1G's doormat. Let's see if Nova can get us a signature win and Creighton can complete the comeback.

We have not done well head to head with the B1G thus far.
Creighton in one possession game. 52 seconds
And nova up 54-46 at 8 minute TO
Wow. Horrible foul by SDSt. Gave Creighton the ball w 27 seconds left down 3.
7-0 run for KU.
Creighton down 6 w 8 to go- game over
Well, it looks like we're playing SDSU on Sunday, with the Aztecs having the crowd on their side.
Can penetrate all day on SDSU and pick up your misses and try again if you don't turn it over before getting it into the front court. The runs were Creighton's bad D more than SDSU being electric offensively. We will bury them.

Yup. MU defense will have a field day as well.
Nova may lose this at the line. Up 3 w 3:00 to go.
Big charge right there.
Trying to decide if I like the lighting there. Leaning towards yes.

Huge charge.
Lighting Kind of annoying, but the low ceiling is worse.
Weak foul.
Jay Wright should stick to the suits. Can't pull off the casual attire like a Buzz Williams can!

Yeah, and it's just not Jay Wright if it doesn't look super metrosexual.
Exactly.
BIG EAST PRIDE!
Onions!!! Nova!
Dagger!
Wow, what a time for the Nova guy to make his first basket of the night! Up two at the line with 2.7 to go.
Agreed. Should have been a travel on that spin.
And Nova pulls off the upset! Nice showing by the Philly boys.
Nice signature win for the Fighting Jay Wrights and the BE. Georgetown has KU coming up, hopefully they can take it to them as well.
Thank you Nova. We really need that win.

We sure did. If they miss that shot everyone is saying the con is a disaster. And when u look at some of the losses it really has not been a good start for the new BE
Tough slate continues today....
Marquette vs. SDSU
Butler vs. LSU in Old Spice
Creighton vs. GWash
DePaul vs. Oregon State
Providence takes on #3 Kentucky in Brooklyn
