Big East Non Conference Results

[Lennys Tap]

Is the Big East a single bid league?

Probably not, but it's not inconceivable. Which two (or more) squads look like tournament teams so far?

[Lennys Tap]

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

Is this a serious question? Anyone who gives them a vote should lose theirs.

[Mutaman]

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

I agree, I don't think that necessarily had to be in teal. It's unlikely, but the BE could shake out to be bad this year. The bottom probably not as bad, but the middle and top are not strong.

[Billy Hoyle]

Probably not, but it's not inconceivable. Which two (or more) squads look like tournament teams so far?

If you want two: Providence and St. John's.

But, tourney bids are handed out in March, not now. By then, those two plus Nova, MU and X will be in. Butler and Creighton on the bubble.

5 in and 2 on the bubble in this year's Big East? Put down the crack pipe, brother Hoyle.

I debated...but it's November

Richard Boone was flat out awesome.

Richard Boone was flat out awesome.

Also, Wagon Train is a great show, but did you ever notice they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training...

Probably not, but it's not inconceivable. Which two (or more) squads look like tournament teams so far?

Depends on what Indiana is. Butler definitely. Marquette, St John's, Providence probably. Come March I could see a couple more on the bubble. Wright's track record might help Villanova figure it out. Georgetown and Xavier are complete mysteries that look more like NIT teams so far.

St. John's, Providence, Butler all look pretty good so far.  Way too early to know anything.  Games in November and December, don't tell the story for Feb or March.  Same is true for rankings right now as they really don't mean much.

I could see 5 in, but mostly lower seeds.  This is a rebuilding year for the conference which everyone knew to be the case.

I figured you for a druid or a ranger.   20 sided die

Cooley & Co. have a big game today against Michigan. Cooley says the Big East is young this year.

Georgetown up on USF 28-26 at the half. The Hoyas look far more talented, but their young guards are still pretty mistake prone. The last possession for GT was a microcosm of their first half. Akinjo drives inside, draws the defense, and sees a wide-open shooter in the corner. He rifles a pass out of bounds not even close to the target. Charges, travels, and tons of unforced errors. You can see the talent Akinjo and MacClung have, but I expect Georgetown to be very up and down this year.

[brewcity77]

17-2 run has USF up double digits on Georgetown. GT continuing to beat themselves with turnovers.

[brewcity77]

Hoyas pulled the freshmen and ran the offense through Govan to rally back. Akinjo came back in and ended up hitting a game-tying 3 with a few seconds to go, then USF had a basket waved off at the buzzer. USF & Georgetown in overtime.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Akinjo is 17 years old. Just sayin'

[brewcity77]

Georgetown going to escape with the win. Akinjo much better after getting yanked, but Govan was the man.

[Herman Cain]

Michigan goes on an 11-0  run at end of half to lead Cooley& Co. by 13

[Archies Bat]

Georgetown going to escape with the win. Akinjo much better after getting yanked, but Govan was the man.

Don't let Ners read this or he will start talking about Ewing being a bad coach in every thread.

[brewcity77]

Michigan blasts Providence. Established a comfortable double-digit lead at halftime and just kept pushing it slowly further and further out of reach. Their defense is really something.

[Herman Cain]

Georgetown going to escape with the win. Akinjo much better after getting yanked, but Govan was the man.

Nice to see Ewing & Associates bringing home a win.
