Big East admits official made mistake in St. John's - Seton Hall game, but once error in judgment was made on initial call the officials properly handled subsequent sequence of events.

Will be very interesting to see how the selection committee looks at this game.

Will be very interesting to see how the selection committee looks at this game.

They'll look at it as a win for Seton Hall and a loss for St John's. They won't dissect every play from 5 months of games. The final score is the final score.

On the Creighton/Providence post game show on FS1 Steve Lavin picked Markus for National player of the year. There is still a lot of basketball to play however.

Georgetown up at Butler 57-51. 11 minutes left.

[BM1090]

Butler loses to Georgetown at home.

The second half of this one was great. I thought X was going to pull it out, but SH made too many plays down the stretch. Powell looked great tonight. He'll be a guy to keep an eye on this year. He's progressed well each of the last 2 years.

Scruggs also hit a few big shots for Xavier tonight when the game was going back and forth a bit, and Hankins barely missed a shot. The biggest thing I saw from X was that they have no depth. Their bench barely played today. That's a tough trend to continue in this conference. I think we should be able to handle them well at home this weekend.

Malinowski played well tonight for Georgetown. They are fighting hard every game and could be formidable by the end of the year.

What has happened to Butler? After losing to IU, they skated by in buy games before getting smoked by Florida and losing to Georgetown? Talk about falling off a cliff.

What happened is they don't have very good players. Why were the expectations so high

**People** anointing Baldwin for years

I don't think expectations were that high until they beat Florida at Atlantis

They've been consistently good through multiple coaches. Baldwin was pretty good in conference play last year, but also returned 5 other guys that played fairly significant minutes last year while adding Jordan Tucker.

Butler did crush a solid mid major in UC Irvine after the Presbyterian struggle. All after the heartbreaking game to IU. Florida, I put on a Christmas break letdown. Which was a payback game for Florida. Tonight's game is very shocking to me.

Why don't we have a Kamar Baldwin anyway?

[We R Final Four]

Cmon.....he was only 3 stars.😉

Butler loses to Georgetown at home.

DePaul up 7 early at Nova.

This league is wideeeeee open

Depaul had every opportunity to win this game.  They just don't know how.

[Cheeks]

Depaul had every opportunity to win this game.  They just don't know how.

They will, they are getting close.  5 or 6 wins in conference is not going to be shocking.

[MUfan12]

The size they have at the guard spots will give MU trouble.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

This is the best DePaul team in recent memory. For the first 10 minutes of the game, they had a lot of movement on offense and scored 30 points. They will definitely surprise some teams this year. I know Strus and Cain are seniors so I'm not sure if Leitao will be able to build from here.

New arena gives them a fighting chance moving forward.  All it takes is one or two guys and they can creat a new thing there.
