Big East News

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Al normally only played 7 players, granted they did not run, but they did press.  With so many time-outs every 4 minutes, I can see teams only play 7.

My guess is that issue comes more from fouling than fatigue. I could be wrong but it seems like there are a lot more fouls in today's game than back in Al's day.

Lot more zone D was played back then and no 3 pt line

No time clock

First team to 15?

There may have not been a shot clock, but I do think they kept time.

Time as in game time, but not time to shoot, you could just keep passing the ball.

So you're saying your prediction lacks judgement?

My prediction is a prediction, judgment is involved, but no prediction can be proven without time and results to bear it out. An educated guess, no more no less.

Xavier Schedule looks solid for the year.

Once again it will be valuable for the Big East as a whole if they do well against the tough opponents they are playing.

Wow, insightful. Right up there with "the sun will rise in the east" and "water is wet" in terms of profound thoughts.

I hope he is innocent. The fact that the DA dropped the case because the young woman admitted to performing a sex act with someone else earlier that same night is ridiculous. I'm not sure what her being consensually fondled by one person earlier in the night has anything to do with the question of someone else raping her hours later.

Its like I've said before, DAs only take cases they think they can win to trial.

Exactly why we need reform.  So many accused on thin evidence, or her word vs his.  We cannot simply say it is collateral damage to put people away and over rotate as we have done when the accused are not given a chance to defend themselves.  In this case, it was a court of law so he could.  Now, will Creighton let him finish his degree?  Big test for Creighton to show their Jesuit bonafides.

The process was dropped in the LEGAL system. Creighton's process is separate and may yield different results.

Right from the start? About what? It can't be rape if she was on top?

Her credibility doesn't matter? In a world where he said, she said, how does credibility not become a key component?  Law enforcement asked what happened, she said nothing and that turned out not to be true.  This is part of what we call getting to the truth.

Now, he may be evil and guilty as sin, but he also may not be  It sounds like you are saying the fact that she didn't tell the truth doesn't amount to anything, and many of us would find that enormously troubling in a world where it's one person's word vs another.
