[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I wouldn't be surprised if all 5 road teams win

[Silkk the Shaka]

I wouldn't be surprised if all 5 road teams win

If I were a betting man and took this as a 5-team parlay, I'd go with:

Nova
GTown
Butler
Xavier
Providence

[Oldgym]

Agree except Georgetown.  The Johnnies will get their first league win at some point, and I think it's tomorrow.

[brewcity77]

I like Seton Hall at home. Delgado is going to be motivated after his dismal 4/4 showing at Creighton. Also undefeated at home this year.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Jalen Brunson scored 23 points for Villanova over UConn 81-61.
Donte DiVincenzo added 17 points for the Wildcats (18-1), who complete their non-conference schedule at 13-0.
Jalen Adams scored 19 for UConn (10-9), which has now lost five games this season by at least 20 points.
Villanova scored 18 of the final 20 points before intermission and the rout was on.

Gtown over SJU by four...two overtimes.

St. John's up 3 and didn't foul.  Paid dearly for that.  Georgetown tied it and won in 2OT.

SJ missed free throw didn't help.

not that it matters

[Mr. Nielsen]

Seton Hall up on Xavier at half, 35-30.
Providence up 18-10 on Creighton.
Butler smoking DePaul 44-29.

[We R Final Four]

This X/Hall game is fantastic.

[BM1090]

Not sure who i should be cheering for but leaning towards X so we dont play them coming off a loss

[MU82]

Enjoyed watching the last 5 minutes of X-SH.

Macura was quite sensational. Made back-to-back plays that any coach will kill to have one of his players make.

[Daniel]

Quite a game. Very exciting

[Mr. Nielsen]

Today. Marquette Women at Villanova at 11am on FS1.

Today. Marquette Women at Villanova at 11am on FS1.

Good road win and bounce back against a Nova team who blew out DePaul last game. Good to fill some Warrior Basketball Jones on TV today with the men 9 day break. Great exposure for the program being on FS1.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Seem the polar opposite of the men. The women pound the ball inside a lot. Five juniors start so hopefully we can look to both dominating the conference next year.

We're both going to win conference and MU social media will beat the narrative to death of first Big East team to do so since UConn.   I promise you will hear that 77 million times.

Super Hoops Week on FS1. Starts with a Big Ten Doubleheader on Monday.

Nova could have won that game by 40 if they felt like it.  How far UConn has fallen.  Two thirds of the original traditional Big East teams (Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, UConn, Georgetown, St. Johns) are worse or much worse versions of their former selves since either leaving or the breakup of the original Big East.  Only Villanova, Seton Hall and Providence are what they were or are better.  It is gratifying that in general those who stayed have fared better relative to their standard than those that left.

But... but... what about the university cause like they went to like a better conference cause like football and stuff.

Dont forget all of the extra money the universities got and how that is much more fun than winning.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Dont forget all of the extra money the universities got and how that is much more fun than winning.

And all the NCAA money they forfeited and had to pay on exit fees.

If BC, Pitt and Syracuse had it over again, they'd make the exact same choice.  Moving to a P5 conference if you have a football team is an absolute no-brainer.  If you have football, that has to be the sport on which you base these decisions.  It's too high cost with too much potential revenue.

But UConn is truly between a rock and a hard place.  The AAC is actually a respectable basketball conference, especially with the addition of Wichita.  But it is a very expensive football conference because the revenues are so bad.  And they're not getting a P5 invite anytime soon.
