Which is better? Creighton than nova. Or Seton Hall than X?

Which is better? Creighton than nova. Or Seton Hall than X?

I'd take Creighton then 'Nova. I just think Seton Hall is a terrible matchup. Also, while we've played Xavier tough twice, I still think we don't match up very well with them, especially when they go 1-3-1.

Though I'd be a much bigger fan of Creighton then DePaul, personally. And St. John's in the final

I agree that Seton Hall is a bad match up. Butler at Georgetown a big game tomorrow. Creighton has it's second game with Johnnies coming up which should help solidify their position.

[Herman Cain]

Butler much needed overtime win over Georgetown. Providence gets back to winning ways against DePaul.  Helpful wins for both teams.

Needed wins for the league. Have to think any one win for either Butler (home against SHU & MU) or Providence (home v Creighton, away to St John's) would cement their at-large bids. Pretty certain we'll get at least 5 in.

Seton Hall can punch their ticket if they beat Xavier. Up 26-21 on FS1

[ChicosBailBonds]

Good for the conference, not so great for Xavier.

Bumps them off the top line u less they win the BET.

[MarquetteDano]

Good for the conference, not so great for Xavier.

Overheard some pretty cocky X fans on Friday talking about how they could win the regular season and how the Big East wasn't as tough as some of their other friends said it was.

Got a lesson on how hard it is to win the Big East on Saturday.  This is probably the best team they have had in 15 years and they are still not going to win the regular season this year.

I think both Providence and Butler will dance.  I think Creighton and Marquette will represent the BEast in the NIT.

Seton Hall win today shows how much of Bear this conference is.

Nice monster win for Creighton over the Johnnies.

Rankings This Week
3. Villanova
5. Xavier
Seton Hall getting some meaningful votes. Providence getting some votes in coaches poll.

This last week is big for Butler, Providence, MU and Creighton. 

[Herman Cain]

Butler Seton Hall is a an exciting game. Butler up 7 with 3:44. Creighton up by 6 second half at Providence.

[Herman Cain]

Butler wins against Seton Hall. They looked good tonight.

Creighton Providence game is back and forth. McDermott is a very good coach.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton Providence game tonight is one of the reasons I enjoy the Big East. Back and forth tough nosed game with a lot of outstanding talent on display.

[Herman Cain]

Providence wins over Creighton. For whatever it is worth John Rothstein kept saying on the broadcast that Creighton was a tournament team.

[jsglow]

Sure Creighton is a tournament team. NIT that is.

I think things are actually about right.  5 will dance including Butler and Providence. 2 to the NIT, CU and MU.

[brewcity77]

This seems about right. I think Butler and Providence are pretty solid now. The only thing that might not happen is us to the NIT. Wouldn't surprise me to see us try the new tournament in Las Vegas this year if we miss the NIT.

Not so sure about us making the NIT, especially if we are sans Henry from here on out...

I think MU is in pretty good shape for the NIT.  They'll get in unless they lose Saturday and to SJU in the BET opener...then they may be left out.  One more win and they're in the NIT, I would think.

[Benny B]

I think MU is in pretty good shape for the NIT.  They'll get in unless they lose Saturday and to SJU in the BET opener...then they may be left out.  One more win and they're in the NIT, I would think.

Just one more championship at MSG this year is all I want.  I don't care if it comes next weekend or a month from now.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I think MU is in pretty good shape for the NIT.  They'll get in unless they lose Saturday and to SJU in the BET opener...then they may be left out.  One more win and they're in the NIT, I would think.

I'm not quite that confident. Our RPI is still in the triple digits. NIT uses that same as the NCAAs. Buzz' last year we got left out with an RPI in the 90s.

If we win Saturday and make some enough noise in the BET to be a legit bubble team (per Lunardi's definition), we're dancing.  I can't see the NCAA letting a bubble team with a legitimate lottery pick be televised in someone else's tournament.

W vs butler
W vs providence
W vs nova
L vs Xavier

In or out ? It'd be almost criminal to take providence and butler over us seeing as that would put us 5-0 over them.
