Big East Conference BET Results

[Herman Cain]

Agreed.  Statistics be damned.  I'm using the eye test.  Just not a lot of great teams.

I believe that, given the way the tournament selection process is structured , there will be many Big East teams selected for the tournament. However, I agree with your eye test, there are simply not many great teams. That is why I always focus so hard on non conference. If a team can get 10 wins and a couple of them against quality opponents, they are in good position to make the tournament with a medium level of performance in Conference. All I really care about is MU making the tournament and to the extent our conference brethren need to do well that is a price of admission.

I believe it's a very good conference and quite deep.  At the moment, no team is capable of cutting down the nets.  That could change by March.  Is it the 2nd best league?  I can believe that argument and vice versa.

X has rallied to down 3 with 4:07 left at Wake.

Naji Marshall fouled out with 3:46 left

Seton Hall blasted by Rutgers, loses by 20 at the RAC. Started out down 14 and never really got into it. Powell left in the second with an undisclosed head injury.

Seton Hall screwed The Big East.

Just a shame all around

X down 1 with 20.8 left Wake has the ball.

Wake Forest isn't good.  Bad loss for X

Road wins are hard to come by this year. Makes the KSU win that much more impressive.

It is up to Cooley & Company to resurrect the honor of  The Big East against Stony Brook.

I want to puke hearing the ACC network announcers saying Wakes win was like David over Goliath.

Is there a non-Big East MU opponent thread?

Mississippi St. 67 Kansas St. 61 Final.

Watched that, was a disappointing finish for K-State. Mississippi State ended the game with a 12-3 run over the last 4 minutes of the game.

Second best winning % among all conference this season. Second only to the Big 12....who is 2-7 against the Big East.

If you are just looking at the top of the conference, I'd agree that we have no truly standout teams this season...though if you look at KenPom there is really only 1 standout team (Ohio State) in all of D1 this season. More parity than usual it seems. Big East is deep, no easy wins this season.

And yet the top 8, or more, of the Big Ten would roll most of the BE. Ask Nova, Seton Hall,  and us about that. We have some good teams but no great teams despite this great non conference record of primarily buy games.

I believe last week one of the talking heads said top to bottom Big East best conference, but Big Ten the best at the top.  There are no Nebraskas in the Big East, but also no Ohio States or Elite teams this year either.

Thanks. I meant in the Al. But I frequently pay attention to MU opponents.

[Herman Cain]

While my primary focus is on MU making the tournament, I also put heavy emphasis on how many conference teams make it to  the tournament. The more  Big East teams in the tournament helps everyone in recruiting. 

MU probably has the best chance of any team in The Big East of making noise in the tournament. It is possible for Markus to get in God mode for a few games.

I'll say I don't think it will be sustainable once they get to the grind of conference play, but I noticed this today. James Akinjo, Galen Alexander, and Myron Gardner are Georgetown's three least efficient offensive players this season. In the 7 games Georgetown played with a full roster, they were averaging 1.02 ppp and had a 4-3 record. In the 3 games since their transfer epidemic started, they are averaging 1.21 ppp and have gone 3-0.

In fact, Georgetown are averaging more without the transfers out than they did in any individual game with their full roster (1.206 against Texas was their best game) and they are scoring at a higher rate than they did against even their cupcake opponents. They scored...

• 1.13 vs Mount St. Mary's (#191 Def)
  
• 1.09 vs Central Arkansas (#306 Def)
  
• 1.17 vs Georgia State (#151 Def)

I thought the ACC half time post game crew was pretty rough.  Missed the FS1 &;2 crew.

Herman—you have now said on THIS PAGE...all you care about is MU making the tournament. A short while later, you say all you care about is Big East teams making the tournament. I think you post so much you forget what you posted 30 minutes ago.

Apparently Powell didn't even know he was participating in a basketball game. Quite the concussion he got.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Neither of those losses are great, the X one especially. This is probably the best Rutgers team we've seen in a long time but probably more of an NIT team than an NCAA team.
