If we assume we do not win at Nova, we finish with at least three losses in the BE.
Can that still win the regular season? Or do we have to run the table?

Weird question phrasing.
I think Nova goes 16-2 if we don't beat them.
I'm curious about the rest of the field. How long can they stay 500 or lower?
As for MU, got to win the rest. I see nova losing no more than 1 more aside from MU game to come.
I think MU would need to win out to win it outright, 1 more loss would get them a tie.
Weird way to phrase this question
I expect Nova to lose at least one game to someone besides us, but I'm not counting on it.
I think we would have to win out to win the Big East.

Nova will win the BE. They are real good. We are close, but they just manage to get it done. Down 15 on the road and come back and almost steal the win on the road. They are a great program.
If we win our next three, the game in Philly will decide the title. Two on the road and the other is Butler. The good news is we have a shot at the crown.

This.
Nova just almost lost to a mediocre Creighton team. I respect them, but they're hardly a Super Team like they were the last few years. They certainly could lose to a team (or teams) other than us.
15.....with 2 against Nova.....

We have not. When we make the comeback on the road, we close the deal.
It is great to be discussing whether we will win the BE....
rather than if we are in or on the bubble at this point of the season.

Amen, brother Brandi!
Nova was 15-3 in 2017 and Xavier was 15-3 in 2018 to win the conference. Obviously it's a watered down conference this year, but win out and we win the title. Go 6-1 in the next 7 and I still think we win a share of the title.
