Big East Conference BET Results

Well coached teams pull it out on the road by staying focused on what they do best.

U Kidding Me?  Wright couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag.

Ah, so that's where the Wojo to Wright comparisons come from!

Some people just don't, or refuse to get it.

and people here were saying the BE would get NINE teams into the Big Dance? LOL.

Six, at the most. Neither of these teams will be one of them.

Could they get 9 teams into the post season?  #NIT

Ewing & Associates route The Johnnies by 21 . Hoyas 14-1 against The Johnnies since 2004.

21-10, but it's pretty much the same, right?

The Hall up 23-16 Over X 7:49 first.

Big road win for The Hall over X tonight.

7 is possible

7 is possible

Nova, Hall, X, Creighton, MU, Butler - locks to highly likely

Bubble: PC (work to do)

Highly Unlikely: DePaul, STJ, G-town

Nova, Hall, X, Creighton, MU, Butler - locks to highly likely

Highly Unlikely: DePaul, STJ, G-town

Not so sure Mu is a lock or highly likely, I'd have them on the bubble

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

I wouldn't even have MU as a lock for the NIT right now, but that's just me being conservative.  From what I saw last night, it's going to be difficult to win on the road.  There aren't any easy games for MU on the road this year.

We're 1-2 to start conference play and none of our non-con wins will be worth a damn at year's end.  That doesn't exactly scream "lock to highly likely" to me.

Providence has started nicely, but DePaul and St. John's are still well ahead of them. Better wins and lower quantity of bad losses.

As far as resumes are concerned, you are correct, but I think Providence will finish ahead of Georgetown, St Johns and DePaul at least in the Big East standings.

Based on what I've seen, I'd rate the teams Butler, Seton Hall, Villanova, Creighton, Marquette/Providence/Xavier, DePaul/Georgetown/St Johns.  But after Villanova the remaining seven aren't that far apart so standings could be anything, and frankly, Villanova nd Seton Hall aren't head and shoulders above the rest of the conference either.  Think there's going to be a lot of teams between 11-7 and 7-11 this year.

Yep. Kenpom currently has MU projected for 9-9. 9-9 is projected to be T4 in the conference with Providence, behind Butler, SHU and Nova. The remaining 5 teams are projected 8-10 or worse.

The fact that every night is a question mark or up for grabs says more about Wojo than supposed parity within the league. We should get an NIT bid, at least but March is a long ways off.

Entirely possible, but if Providence is 10-8 that still only gets them to 17-14. By contrast, DePaul at 8-10 would get to 20-11 and St. John's at 8-10 would get to 19-12. Granted, record isn't all that matters, but both DePaul and St. John's have significantly better non-con wins already on the resume and victories against Iowa, Minnesota, Texas Tech, Arizona, and West Virginia look likely to only get better as the season goes on.

Providence has a really big uphill climb. Yes, there are quality wins to be had, but they have tied a serious anchor around their leg with their non-con losses and their best win (Texas) is pretty mediocre.

Yup, you are right.  I was referring strictly to the Big East standings, not the NCAA tournament chances.  This was probably the wrong thread for that post.
