Big East Non Conference Results

[LloydsLegs]

SJU ok but PU stinks

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Maybe Bowling Green beating DePaul in their secret scrimmage wasn't as bad as once thought. This is an embarrassing effort for PC.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Some really bad discpline from St. John's the last few possessions. Gotta understand the situation.

[source?]

PC missed 13 free throws and lost by 3. Brutal.

[Herman Cain]

Cooley and Company screwed us. They need to practice shooting free throws. At least the Johnnies avoid embarrassment. Big East now 9-1. 

[Mr. Nielsen]

St. John's holds on 84-80.

[LloydsLegs]

Off topic:   Loyola 11-21 free throws.  Up 1 over Furman w 2:03 left

[LloydsLegs]

And 15.8% from 3. 

[LloydsLegs]

Loyola loses 60-58.

 K State looked beatable against Kennasaw St.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Maybe we're way better than even we think?

PC missed 13 free throws and lost by 3. Brutal.

Buffalo tied at 84 at #13 West Virginia with 14.2 seconds left.

EDIT: Headed to OT.

[brewcity77]

Future opponent news: Buffalo comes from 13 down to upset West Virginia in overtime. CJ Massinburg with a huge night (43 pts/14 reb) as the Bulls win 99-94.

WVU is fraudulent IMO

UB is definitely a hugh quality team though

Not surprisingly they really miss Jevon Carter. No one was willing to take over late when they needed someone to.

But the Bulls & Massinburg were good. They could jump into the rankings. They play at a good SIU team Monday, but should be favored in every other game before the week they come here. That includes a trip to St Bonaventure, a decent mid major tourney in Northern Ireland, and a return from SIU. They do play at Syracuse, but no new rankings would come out before the MU game.

Loyola loses 60-58.

 K State looked beatable against Kennasaw St.

Xavier Sneed was out for Kstate. That is about 11-15 points that sat out.

Emmitt Holt has been a non factor for the Friars the first two games. A lot of the lofty predictions for them were based on him being healthy. Doesn't look like the case. Really too bad, the kid has had kind of a rough ride through hoops. If this is his new norm, Providence looks more like a 5th-7th place team than a 3rd place team in the BEast.....though it seems that Diallo has found his outside shot which makes him one of the most dangerous players in the conference.

Sedee Keita played 4 minutes last night for St. John's and Josh Roberts played 0 minutes. That means that 196/200 of the Red Storm minutes last night were played by players 6'7" or shorter. And only one of those players is 6'7" and another one is 6'6". The rest are all 6'5" or shorter. A lot of their predictions were based on the idea that Keita was going to take a big jump and provide that inside presence. They still have top 3 talent but I'm just not sure about the balance of that roster. Also, discipline. They committed dumb fouls, took early contested shots, and gave the ball away when they should have been trying to run out the clock.

Diallo canned some 3s but his shot still seems pretty poor. Poor rotation and horribly slow release. Very easy to block. Guy also sucked at the line yesterday. Not sure what he shot last year

Meanwhile....Xavier is falling apart against Evansville. They got so frustrated that Quentin Goodin threw the basketball at one of their opponents' heads after the whistle.

[Herman Cain]

Xavier got the win versus Evansville.   I think it will take them a while to get their team working well together. 

[Herman Cain]

Georgetown beats Central Connecticut. Entertaining game down the stretch.

[Herman Cain]

Butler a big win over Miami of Ohio to start the season off

[PGsHeroes32]

Butler a big win over Miami of Ohio to start the season off

Big win??

Lmfao

[Herman Cain]

Villanova comfortably beating Quinnipiac  in front of a crowd of 10,216 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Big East is truly headed for a long season if X is being challenged by Evansville
