Big East Starting off the season with some very high quality match ups on Thursday.

We got some nice unconditionally positive press from CBS Sports about this.

MU Scoop is always open.  We thank you

[Herman Cain]

I am hoping Georgetown can get a road win over DePaul. Even though I am not a big fan of them, it's better for league an us if they are seen as a quality team.

[Herman Cain]

Georgetown with a solid road win tonight over DePaul. We need to regroup and be ready for them.

[Herman Cain]

Lot of good Big East games tonight . Xavier at Villanova, playing in the Pavillion.Providence at Butler.  Both of these should be hard fought.

Creighton St John's at Carnasecca should be an interesting game.  Would be good to see creighton get a road win.

Hopefully Wojo and company will watch these games and learn something.

Villanova taking X to the woodshed. Really scary injury to Sumner. Carted off and went straight ti the hospital.

XUScoop must be going nuts right now. Time to fire Chris Mack?

Beat me to it.

What are everyone's thoughts on Providnce/Butler? Personally, I think Butler runs them over by 15-20. Will tell me a lot about Providence if they're able to keep this one close on the road.

Wow, talk about a reality check and then some. X fans were riding pretty high and for good reason, and now I have to think their confidence is shaken to say the least. That's downright demoralizing.

That opening injury was really scary and I believe shell shocked that team....my two cents.  Not good seeing your teammate go off with the paramedics on a gurney.

[Herman Cain]

Villanova announced they are ready for Big East play. Obviously tough injury for Xavier to overcome especially in that loud gymnasium. Xavier has to come back and play Butler next so definitely a tough start to season .

[PGsHeroes32]

Well at least we should get a top 10 road win opportunity next week.

The one good thing about providence is that their tallest player is 6'8" granted I don't know if Fischer can play outside with Bentil but we should have an interior advantage.

Fischer can't play out there as the Belmont game showed.  My guess is we will see more of that hard to identify matchup zone that Wojo has used in the last two games.

Couldn't have been more wrong about Providence. Great win for them.

Road teams 4-1 so far for the Big East.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Welcome to the Big East.  It is an urban league.

I work with a PC grad....he's been saying all year he thinks this is the best team they've had in decades.  He might be right.

They have a very good coach with good quality players. Looking forward to MU game with them.

I didn't see the Sumner fall, but when I heard about, I flashed back to Carlino.  Did anyone who saw the fall see any similarities?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Coach Mack said Sumner flew home with team and was okay. Looks like crisis averted.
