DePaul Stuns Georgetown, Hoyas Out Of The Big Dance?

[Dawson Rental]

1.  Nice to see DePaul pull off a good victory
2.  This proves anyone in the NBE can beat anyone
3.  Would be very happy to see them beat Douggie McBuckets next.

The number 10 team beating the number 7 team proves that "anyone in the NBE can beat anyone", sorry but I gotta disagree with that one.

In the short run this is not a positive for the visibility of the BET with some of the lazier media who will keep focusing on what the Big East was versus what it is. In the longer term it is a positive for the conference to have a stronger DePaul team .  As to the tourney I think Georgetown was like MU, only going if they win the BET. 

Until "what it is" gets better, the Big East will be known for "what it was". This is not good G-town is out.

It's one year. Trust me, people won't remember what happened in the first year of the revamped Big East next year.

No at large....period.

MU is in with a BET title...only.

Only thing tonight did was make it more likely Big East gets 3 bids unless PC or SJU somehow win the tournament, though SJU might just need to make the final.

The winner of today's PC vs. SJU game is in.  Not surprised you feel otherwise though.  4 bids is looking likely unless MU (or SH or DP, not gonna happen) win the tourney.

Yep, we'll just have to beat Creighton ourselves ... if, of course, we can beat Xavier first!

but, but, didn't that just happen last night?  or the part that anyone can beat anyone?  i think that was just proven last night though.  also, villanova, probably the best team in the be, lost to creighton twice, including getting waxed on their own floor.  st johnnie"s is a sleeper, especially in their yard

Say what?

Villanova and Creighton are together as the number one and two teams up apart from all the other teams.

Not only is it bad for the conference, it puts another team with a better RPI than ours in the NIT.
