Big East Conference Results/ NCAA/NIT/CBI

[brewcity77]

So if Wojo were really smart, we'd have beaten them only by what, 9?

Probably 3-6 would've been ideal to keep rankings status quo, but I think it's worth the beat down because it will help us more in the other metrics that show up on the Team Sheet.

I just find it somewhat ironic that we go in and give a hard fought effort with the result being a Quad 1 win, but because we did so well, it's likely Q2 by the next morning.

ironic ... or moronic?!?!

Hey, I know that they have to have some kind of system, and I also know that no system can be perfect.

Whatevs. If our heroes keep winning, it'll all take care of itself.

GTOWN losing that one shut the coffin on their tourney hopes. Nails aren't in yet but there close

They finish with DePaul 2X, SHU, and @ MU. If they win the first 3 they will give themselves a shot. They go 4-0 they'll be in. They could have given themselves a real, legitimate chance with a win today.

I'm fully rooting for St. Johns to end their conf. schedule strong.  If Marquette grabs the 1 seed in the BET, I'd much rather play St Johns/Nova in the final rather than the Johnnies in the semis.  Rooting for St Johns to outpace Seton Hall down the stretch.  Helps that Seton Hall has to play both Nova and us still.  Adds to the importance of our game @ Seton Hall imo.

[Herman Cain]

 Solid win for Creighton . Rooting for the Hall.

[CountryRoads]

St. John's got out to a 28-5 lead over seton hall. Seton hall playing much better now but still down 28-12.

The Johnnies up 6 over the The Hall with 2:07 left

[MUfanatic45]

Powell was brutal down the stretch.

The Johnnies have some followers:

Looking forward to a rematch in the BET . I am going to the semis so hope it is then.

Nova really struggling against xavier

[NickelDimer]

X takes its first lead of the day

[Oldgym]

X up 10, just like that.  Nova really back on its heels.

[NickelDimer]

This Nova team lacks that calming presence they've had for so long. Booth should be that guy but often isn't

[muguru]

If they can pull this off, MU is in a REALLY good spot Wednesday night...lose, and they still have a one game lead...win and they clinch at least a share(but basically win it outright) of the BE title. That being said, I prefer Novas come back and win this...why?? I would hate to play them, in their own building after losing three straight.

[rocket surgeon]

villanova has 44 points in 34 min

what does that song that fans sing out in unison when they smell victory?

[CountryRoads]

I was really surprised that Nova was running through the conference early on and figured they'd have more losses like these.

Would have preferred Nova win this - wouldn't help conference championship standings, but Nova's February is making the BEast look significantly worse and reducing MU's margin for error to about zero for seeding.

[Dish]

I always respect Nova, and said on here their ceiling felt like a decent top 20-25 team, but that was it. They've fallen off a cliff the last two weeks. X has dominated these last 10 minutes, Nova looks helpless.

[MUfanatic45]

We definitely gonna get a fired up Nova on Wednesday now.

Luckily this loss to X will give us a nice cushion.

[BM1090]

Barring a Xavier collapse, Marquette can clinch a share of the BE title and the #1 seed in the BET on Wednesday

[wadesworld]

I, for one, would be thrilled with a Xavier win.

[MUfanatic45]

Nova is gonna have to beat us Wednesday for our home win vs them to remain Q1.

So let's just get the Q1 road win instead.

Three road games in a row, in a 8 day period. They could get healthy when they return home. Oh, crap that's against Marquette.
