Big East Conference BET Results

[UWW2MU]

Attendance: 5,329.

This seems like a silly thing to jump into the middle of... but I had a minute to kill and I was curious because it seemed like more than 5k on tv.    Box score says attendance 12,514.   

[Mr. Nielsen]

Better for MU if the bottom 4 continue to lose.

Sure.
Yet, I wanted the bottom to start winning to make the league 7 or 8 bids. As of know, that will not be the case.

I think some are talking the MU/GTown game (12,514), while other's are talking about last night BU/GTown game.(5,329).

[Mr. Nielsen]

You lost me at "hostile crowd." Other than the wasteland that is the Wintrust Arena, there is not a lesser home court advantage in the Big East than at the Capital One Arena, where Georgetown's average attendance has fallen by a whopping 40% in the last seven years.

I heard they don't bus students for free to the game anymore?

[MUfan12]

For G'town? I read it as 5,329.

That was the game last night. 82 was talking about the MU game there, which drew over 12,000.

[rocky_warrior]

Ahh... Hoya didn't realize were talking the MU @ GU game.  5,329 was the butler game. Maybe not as hostile.

That's weird.   Georgetown page listed at the 12k number.

*edit: ok, I should have kept reading the posts.  Looks like some confusion there on which game they were discussing.   This is why I knew I shouldn't interject!

Ya, I change my post. I had to re-read everything, as some were talking about two different games.

Correct for the MU game. Last night was not that. Everyone is talking two different games. The Hoya fan came on talking about last night's poor crowd. No shock to me as it was a local 9:05pm start. I guess us MU fans can't bitch about 8pm game.

[Golden Avalanche]

Agreed. The conf is turning out to be much more polarized than anticipated. Haves and have nots rather than a bunch of teams beating each other up. That does ramp up the pressure in terms of securing the "should win" games rather than an anybody can beat anybody landscape.

Xavier was rated top 20 for the first six weeks of the season but they've started conference play similar to last season. Alas, Steele is still their coach and they underwhelm.

DePaul was a surprise cinderella in December and people, weirdly, assumed that would translate to conference. Alas, no one loses Big East games better than DePaul.

Drops you from thinking seven could make it to thinking it'll probably be five.

Attendance: 5,329.

Incorrect. In your haste to try to prove me wrong, you didn't even get the right crowd for the game that was being discussed.

Everyone is talking two different games.

Again, the MU-GT game had an excellent, loud, animated crowd of 12K+.

I didn't claim it was the win of the century, simply a very good conference win in a hostile environment.

It had been implied that Butler had done something we didn't ... and I agree. They absolutely annihilated Georgetown by 5, whereas we only squeaked out a 4-point win.

We Are Marquette!

[Mr. Nielsen]

I didn't say anything about what you claimed. I was just trying to get the attendance counts correct for what game people were talking about. I do agree, the MU @GT crowd on a Saturday was great. The grey out and such. Anytime winning on the road is big!

It will be awfully hard to get the "expected " seven BE teams into NCAA if bottom four keep losing. Wonder if the gang is still figuring out how seven get in. Also, if bottom keep losing, MU better not slip against one of them or it could be very costly.

5 looks likely at this point. MU, Nova, SHU, Creighton, Butler.

I wouldn't be surprised at 6 if X, PC or DP can go on a run. X seems the most likely but hopefully we bury them further tonight.

Worth noting that the committee puts equal weighting on non con and conference games. So that is why non con performance is so critical. Once you get into conference hard to get traction. All of the bottom teams in the league had some good quality wins in non conference which look good on the resume. So for example The Johnnies suck, but to their benefit they have the wins over Arizona and West Virginia. Same with DePaul which has Minnesota and Iowa on their resume.

What Herman said. Some of these lower level teams do have some solid wins.

Wasn't trying to accuse you of anything; sorry if there was a little miscommunication between us.

X seems the most likely but hopefully we bury them further tonight.

X can go undefeated ... starting with Saturday's game vs SH!

The emergence of Romaro Gill as a force has taken Seton Hall another level.

[MuMark]

DePaul beating SH by 1 at the half......29-28.....it wasn't pretty

[Herman Cain]

DePaul 29 The Hall 28 Halftime

[Goose]

DePaul is going to be tough out for MU, both home and away.

[fjm]

DePaul up 7 with 15 min left.

I smell a seton Hall comeback.

To be fair hall has been down multiple times in games late and managed come backs. Good for them for finishing games.

[lawdog77]

DePaul The entire Big East is going to be tough out for MU, both home and away.

Fixed it for you

[MuMark]

DePaul is like most teams in this conference......when they are good they are really good......depends which version shows up on a given day.

Another dude's hair shouldn't bother me, but that little turd piece hangin off powell's dome is maddddd questionable
