Big East Tournament Thread

[Bo Ryan's Massage Therapist]

I'm confused as to what Mullin was doing out on the court and why he was was so angry

[VegasWarrior77]

Heard from some trustworthy peeps here in Las Vegas that if JTIII didn't win tonight he was probably gone.  With his old man lingering nothing can be etched in stone, but...?

[Mr. Nielsen]

I missed it!

Is there a link of any kind?

I thought we might as well have a thread for all BET games, with it kicking off tonight.

It looks like they removed the NBA three point line from the court for the tournament, which was something that I was irrationally worried about

That has been gone since day 1 of new Big East version.

I'm going out on a limb and saying this game won't get to 100.

Yeah I just decided to call it a night. This game sucks.

For the tournament it has been, yes. But it was there for all 3 games we played at MSG this year so I thought maybe they were changing it for this year.

Let's hope. Now that Marquette took care of it's business by getting back to the tournament this year, I'd love to see Georgetown get their *hit together and get back to being one of the top brands in the Big East.

Doubt it would ever happen since he's building a nice thing in Blacksburg, and will likely hold out for 1 last "big time" job - but it would be fun to see Buzz get the job.

Georgetown still has far more national appeal. JT3 was still able to land solid recruits despite running the awful Princeton offense, and having zero charisma.

Would love to build a real rivalry, and play him twice a year. And it would nice to get another big name coach in the conference.

Don't see it as being a fit, outside of the fact that Georgetown-Blacksburg are only about 4 hours apart.  But it would be fun to see.

The Big East is doing great things, but we can only benefit from having Georgetown (and St Johns) being relevant again..

Based on where they are at right now.. What type of coach do you think would accept the Georgetown job?

Can't believe the university would keep him after this disaster of a season, no matter who his father is/was.

Game picking up.

Memorable game between Johnnies and Hoyas. Overall good for Big East.

I know they've had poor postseasons recently, but 2 years ago Georgetown took 2nd in the BE and was a 4 seed. 4 years ago they were co-champions and a 2 seed. 5 years ago they finished the season ranked 15th by the AP.

Forget the poor postseasons, and they're doing ok.

I'll forget the poor postseasons, and I still don't think they are doing "ok". Because they've missed the tournament 3 of the last 4 years. That alone should be cause for concern. Marquette missed 3 straight years, but we had a coaching change/rebuild.

Add in the postseason? They've won 3 tournament games in a decade. Zero Sweet 16's.

Time for a change.

[MU82]

Yup. They missed 11 free throws (56%)

FTs no matta.

1 last big time job? Buzz is supppppper young for a coach. What?

Anyone know what the world's most famous arena is?

Haaaaa!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Was flipping between STJ/GT, VT/Wake, and OSU/Rut as they were all close down the stretch at the same time. What was most apparent was the difference among crowds. I get that we had a local team and a big name, but wow was the MSG crowd looking and sounding miles better than the other two.

Washington DC isn't  B1G city despite the addition of Maryland. NYC is not an ACC city....especially since Syracuse lost early. Super conferences lose some of their roots. We haven't.

I heard last night on the broadcast that '16-17 was the worst GTown season since something like 1974.  Can that really be true?  If so, clean out GTIII's office this morning.  And tell the old man that if he doesn't like it he can leave too.

[MarquetteDano]

If anything the BET games so far have showed is that Marquette better be prepared for a dogfight today with The Hall.  Sure we can shoot threes but we need to be physical because otherwise the Pirates are going to push us around.

Luke and JJJ need to play with maximum intensity.
