Big East Non Conference Results

[Dish]

The Big East is there for the taking this year. This Nova team is very meh.

[brewcity77]

Wow Furman. Do they play Kansas or Michigan any time soon? Final Four teams, beware the Paladins.

[Dish]

Kudos to Furman, they've played this OT brilliantly.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I hope Furman is ranked on Monday.  5-0 with two wins over Final Four teams.

[Herman Cain]

Looks like Big South has some decent teams this year.

[Dish]

I wouldn't want to play Furman come March. That's an intelligent team that is good.

[brewcity77]

So, does Nova fall from 8 to out of the top-25? Wow.

[GGGG]

Always loved Furman.  The Paladin was my favorite D&D character.

[Herman Cain]

I am not pleased that Villanova lost. However, games like this are what makes college basketball great. Furman comes in and beats Villanova on their home court. Great stuff in the bigger picture of things.

Yes.

Is it possible they are only 4 or 5 in BE? Nah

[nyg]

Nova lost all those players and recruited a top 25, five star point guard, who didn't play a minute against Furman.  Interesting.

Clearly a rebuilding year for Villanova.     I wonder how Villanova scoop is doing today.

[brewcity77]

Yes.

Is it possible they are only 4 or 5 in BE? Nah

Jay Wright had never lost so much from a team in the NBE era. Had DiVincenzo and Spellman stuck around it'd be different, but I could see this being a down year in general for them. If the tourney started today, they would be out. Hard to see them not taking 4-5 non-conference losses with the Big Five, Orlando, and at Kansas still on the schedule.

Furman beat Loyola Chicago last week.

[GB Warrior]

Is the Big East a single bid league?

[Mr. Nielsen]

Is the Big East a single bid league?

It's not even Thanksgiving. So, I would say no.

[Herman Cain]

SLU pulling away from The Hall.

SLU pulling away from The Hall.

SLU has a good team this year. If they had a little more outside shooting they'd be even better. A-10 favorites. Some good young players mixed with older transfers. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Furman is a sneaky good low major. Top 150 type team, possibly back end of the top 100. But still WOW. What an upset.

[Herman Cain]

The Hall led by Quincy McKnight rallying back to make it a close game . Fun game to watch.

Got a little nervous after McKnight's first two games eh? JC isn't the only PG transfer from a lower conference that got a lid lifter today.

[Herman Cain]

St Louis won 66-64 . The Hall missed a 3 pointer at buzzer.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Had an open look for the Hall to steal one.

[Its DJOver]

Had an open look for the Hall to steal one.

As much as I don't want to say it, I think the better team won.  If you get a +15 turnover margin, and can't pull out a W, you got some offensive problems to work out.

[Loose Cannon]

Clearly a rebuilding year for Villanova.     I wonder how Villanova scoop is doing today.

Maybe the Piccolo Player has a tear in her eye.
