Big East Conference BET Results

[Uncle Rico]

November matters in March for seeding but how a team plays in November doesn't often resemble the team it is in March.

[Dr. Blackheart]

nova-another example of why preseason rankings are weird

What's McNeese State ranked?

[MuMark]

Nova's offense looked much better with Brunson  making plays for Bridges, Spellman, Booth, Paschall and DD.

Ya think? I'm not convinced.

[MU82]

Channel surfed for a few mins to check out the news of the day. Returned to find Nova down 38-12. Guess I don't need to waste more time on FS1 till our game.

[MuMark]

It kind of shows how fragile CBB is....'Nova went from Arch to Brunson......then they thought they had point guard covered going forward with Gillespie and Quinerly.....  Both were highly rated.....Gillespie hasn't  been a difference maker and Quinerly obviously was a bust.....at least at Nova

[rocket surgeon]

What's McNeese State ranked?

  before they beat da vermin?  don't think it goes that high though

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Nova lost to Michigan by 100 in the Gavitt games last year and finished alright

[MU82]

So when this dreadful game goes well past 9, I guess we'll just be stuck waiting for them to put our game on.

Yeah.  I remember MUScoop being thrilled that we should be head and shoulders better than Nova because Michigan was smoking them...and then we watched MU get smoked just as bad by Indiana.

Jay Wright is a proven coach.  He'll have his team much better come BE play.

[JakeBarnes]

Nova cannot buy a 3. Missed a TON of wide open ones.

Likely be on fs 2to start

[Johnny B]

Ohio st has 2 starters out. I mean nova has been just embarrassed out there. Awful for them. I guess I wanna say this is that nasty combination where you have your worst performance all season and they are having there best performance all season and this is the result. Jeez

Lol...That is what, 5 dudes getting regular nba PT?

People do realize I was trying to be funny right?

I guess I missed the sarcasm - sorry!!

[Jay Bee]

..and they followed up that 73-46 loss by losing to FURMAN at home... then got a 6-seed in the tourney.

Maybe more than 'early season rankings' not mattering, it's that a game or two no matta

[Herman Cain]

Cooley& Company screwed the league tonight losing to Northwestern.

Who just lost to Merrimac who just got hosed by Maine. Fortunately the transitive property of basketball isn't a thing

[Its DJOver]

Okay, so serious question.  Before last night, has a team ever forced twice as many TOs as they committed, had 25 more shot attempts and still lost?  These stats are just amazingly weird.

I'm sure it has many times but probably not that common. As Jay Bee would say, eFG% reigns supreme.

Four Factors to winning a basketball game in order of importance:
1. eFG% (NW by a lot)
2. OR% (PC by a lot)
3. TO% (PC by a lot)
4. FTR (NW)

Despite PC controlling the boards and the TO's, Northwestern's efficient shooting (or more accurately PC's inefficient shooting) was enough for them to cruise to a 9 point victory.

[MU82]

That's a bad loss to a bad team by PC.

Boy has Dj Carton looked good in the cincy n nova games.  Plays like a senior n really really skilled!!!

Thought the same thing. Carton is another recruit in the staff's long list of recruits they offered long before they blew up in the rankings. The staff certainly has an eye for talent. I just hope they get better at landing them!

Friars are playing without Nate Watson yet.
