Big East Non Conference Results

[Herman Cain]

Big East 1-1 tonight Providence beats Brown. DePaul loses to Florida State.

23-8 overall.

Chris Mullin has really aged

Guess all that ethyl takes its toll eventually, hey?

[Herman Cain]

Big East 2-2 today. We missed some opportunities though. Georgetown lost by two to Duke. A win would have been very good. They look to be a good squad. Butler lost to a good Miami team that will probably be ranked. Seton Hall over Ole Miss and Villanova beat Akron.

Would be helpful to the league if we could at least win one game at the Legends.

So we get beat by two teams and it's the end of the world to you. Georgetown gets beat by three teams and they look to be a good squad?

Close losses to Maryland and Duke , where they were ahead at times , are much different than the butt kicking that Iowa administered to us. I think that is very obvious.

Yes those two and powerhouse Radford

[Herman Cain]

I will be delighted if we beat Georgetown twice.

St Johns down 30 at half against Vandy.

Vandy is good.

[BM1090]

St Johns down 30 at half against Vandy.

Vandy is good.

And St. John's is not.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

And St. John's is not.

Yes, but Vandy is very good.

I can't even imagine MU playing that team right now.

[Eldon]

Yes, but Vandy is very good.

Didn't that local kid go to Vandy?  I can't recall his name at the moment.  I think he really wanted to go to MU, but Bazz didn't reciprocate

Yes, Riley LaChance.

Off topic, but watching this Wake Forest - Indiana game after watching Vandy-SJU earlier.

Bill Walton is incredibly hard to listen to.  I've watched games he called before, but apparently hadn't really listened.  Definitely knowledgable, but makes a pretty good announcer in Jon Schambi sound like a clown. 

[BM1090]

Won't argue with you on that.

[Herman Cain]

Big East now 30-12.

Feels good for MU to have one of the leagues signature wins.

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

Big East now 30-12.

Feels good for MU to have one of the leagues signature wins.

This is an important distinction. The Big East 30-12 cumulatively, but there's a lot of bunnies in there. Against the "Football Five," the Big East is 9-9.

Butler (0-1, Lost to Miami, FL)
Creighton (1-1, Beat Rutgers, lost to Indiana)
DePaul (0-3, Lost to Penn State, Florida State, and South Carolina)
Georgetown (1-2, Beat Wisconsin, lost to Maryland and Duke)
Marquette (1-1, Beat LSU, lost to Iowa)
Providence (1-0, Beat Illinois)
St. John's (1-1, Beat Rutgers, lost to Vandy)
Seton Hall (1-0, Beat Ole Miss)
Villanova (1-0, Beat Nebraska)
Xavier (2-0, Beat Missouri and Michigan)

Yeah that and the way he wears his sunglasses inside makes him a Caricature of the uncool trying to look cool

And minus DePaul we're 9-6. I know that it's not fair to remove them, but 3 of the losses have come from our worst team.

I recall from previous seasons a conference ranking metric. Perhaps by Kenpom?

Anyone have access / or familiar with that? Id like to see what it looks like so far.

[bilsu]

I believe I calculated it right. Last year Big East non-conference record was 96-32 winning 75% of games. 30-12 is 71.42%.

Which should be boosted by bunnies.

Here is the Real Time RPI metric which is updated every 5 minutes . Right now we are 2nd as a conference. Which is pretty similar to Last year

Xavier and Villanova are taking care of business. Really good opportunity for Providence tonight!

Big East Looking strong!

Against #11 Arizona on ESPN2.  That would be a huge win for them and the conference.  I'm gonna try to tune in via stream
