Big East Conference Results

[Herman Cain]

Creighton solid win over DePaul. Their third league road victory.

[Herman Cain]

We have an opportunity to pad our results the next three games. Need to make the most of it.

MU has a lot of work to do.

Easy to get discouraged over the last two games, but we did play arguably the two best teams in the country as we continue to develop.

[jsheim]

Whether MU does well or not... a couple of teams have got to give in the BE.
I see Butler and Providence taking a hit in the BE....3-6 and 4-5 respectively at the half.

Of course I am optimistically calling it 5-4 for MU.

The Hall lost to the best team on their non-con schedule and two of their three conference wins have come against the bottom of the league. crap, this NCAA Tournament is fast becoming a participation trophy event.

Look at it this way, If we win our next three we will be 15-6.  Then  The Hall can point to their win over MU as a quality win.

The key is SH has zero bad losses which is key. Beat Wichita State, Ole Miss and Georgia in the non-conference. Winning on the road at Providence  was huge.

[We R Final Four]

crap, this NCAA Tournament is fast becoming a participation trophy event.

I hope we get one of those participation trophies and get a warm fuzzy feeling about it.

[MU Buff]

A couple Big East stats that I found interesting:

Home teams in Big East play are only 12-16.

There's been only 2 games decided by 3 points or less or overtime (Marquette at Providence, Providence at Creighton).

[Herman Cain]

Providence  and Butler in a tough battle great game.

[Herman Cain]

Great finish. Providence won 71-68 . Butler had two chances at three pointers at the end to tie but missed.

We, Marquette, have zero losses against teams that are projected to finish below 100 RPI

Georgetown is lights out over Xavier right now, leading by 11 with 10 minutes left. X is not shooting nearly as well as they did on Saturday.

Looks like Georgetown is maintaining the lead up 9 with 4:34 left

[Herman Cain]

Georgetown quality win over Xavier. Very physical play tonight. Tre Campbell had a big night.

Wow, CBS Sports Net was lucky to nab that game from FS1

[Herman Cain]

Wow, CBS Sports Net was lucky to nab that game from FS1

Good game Villanova up at half 35-33

[Herman Cain]

Villanova won 72-71 over Seton Hall. Last minute of the game was wild and woolly. I think that is the way things are going to keep going in this league.

Georgetown lets the league down with a loss to U Conn. Solid win by Xavier over The Hall.

Georgetown lets the league down with a loss to U Conn. Solid win by Xavier over The Hall.

Figure Georgetown is a long shot to get in now. 6 non-con losses, if they go 11-7 or worse that's 14 losses if they don't win the BET. Those losses to Radford and Asheville won't help matters either.
