Big East Non Conference Results

[Mr. Nielsen]

45 foot, bank in three for Little Rock forced overtime. Give credit to the Hoyas to regroup and win it going away.

Why do teams even allow this. Foul them before they even have the chance.  Ugh

[MU82]

Interesting. Kentucky/Seton Hall get 10k at MSG. Villanova/UConn is sold out 18k at MSG.

UConn has always traveled very well. And I'm not talking about steps the players take without dribbling.

Games like that further the UConn wanderlust for all things Big East. Next four home games for the Huskies?

Central Florida
SMU
Tulane
Wichita State

Villanova is not going to go quietly in the BE.  With Gillespie out today Quinerly got a lot of time and I'd assume his confidence (and Jay's confidence in him) will grow quite a bit.  Creamo finally hit some shots too.  By mid BE play I think they'll be playing like a top 20 team again.

Yup.  The BEast regular season title still goes through Nova until someone proves otherwise.  Hopefully we will bring the proof.

They aren't even the reigning regular season champs

Brad Nessler might have jump the gun on the sell out. 16,027. Needless to say very nice crowd at MSG.

DePaul Boston college is some ugly basketball.

[Herman Cain]

DePaul Boston college is some ugly basketball.

We need DePaul to hang on and win it they are 3 with 3:49 left

[MarquetteDano]

They aren't even the reigning regular season champs

But were the best team last year and probably the best this year. Hoping I am wrong about this year.

[Its DJOver]

That's the most DePaul way to lose a game ever.

[MarquetteDano]

And DePaul blows it against BC.

[We R Final Four]

Wow—DePaul should be investigated for that debacle.

Practically a home game for BC seemed like all their Chicago area alumni were there.

I think the league is going to be better than some folks expect. We'll see how good the Johnnies are on New Years; but Providence, Nova, and Seton Hall are going to be tough outs and Butler always seems to beat any team with Marquette on its Jersey.

It's going to be a dogfight for sure, but unfortunately the league as a whole missed on a lot of noncon opportunities that in the past they've capitalized on.  Which might mean that at least one of these teams might not hear their name called on selection Sunday.

Butler has another game on the road with Florida, who they beat at a neutral site game earlier. They have Jordan Tucker eligible now and he has been steadily building some momentum . If Butler can pull off that road win for the league it would be helpful.

[PGsHeroes32]

Seton Hall gonna pick up a nice road win

Complete joke this Maryland team was ranked at one point.

But good win for the Hall

[brewcity77]

Seton Hall finishes off Maryland. I have to give Kevin Willard credit, I didn't think he was capable of keeping things going without that senior class. Powell and Mamu have been good, and there's been enough supporting cast to put together a decent non-con. They should be in the mix for a bid come March. I didn't expect that.

Part of that supporting cast has been a young man named Quincy McKnight who has been a steady presence at point guard and a very solid defender.

The Big East has three of the best guards in the country in Ponds, Powell and Markus. Is going to be a fun series of games when they match up.

[Mr. Nielsen]

So in the last 24 hours....
Providence wins at Texas
Seton Hall wins at Maryland
Marquette beats #14 Buffalo
Villanova bombs UConn at MSG
DePaul craps it pants in the final 2 minutes  versus Boston College. Thanks, DePaul.

4th best player on a middle of the pack Big East team. Exactly where he was projected to be.

[Herman Cain]

Seton Hall has proven they are more than a middle of the pack Big East team . They have put many high quality wins on the board . McKnight was ripped by some people and I think he has proven he is a bona fide  Big East level starter.

[MuMark]

Right now they are 6th in the Big East in Pomeroy ......7th in NET(before win vs Maryland).

I think they are a little better then that but still likely middle of the pack .....4-6th seems likely.
