Big East Conference BET Results

[Galway Eagle]

This should have been obvious LONG ago Johnny, but welcome to the club. Anyone that really believed DePaul's non conference was anything more than a mirage, should be ashamed of themselves. A leopard doesn't change his spots. 

It's more likely that the team imploded at adversity than this "mirage" that got them wins over three big ten teams and a big 12 team.

[MU82]

There are no participation ribbons for close losses, but DePaul HAS lost a lot of close games.

On road: by 4 to MU, by 7 to SH, by 4 in OT to Nova, by 7 to StJ.

At home: by 8 to SH, by 1 to Prov, by 8 to X.

Now, of course, they won some close games in the non-con, so maybe it's law of averages catching up to them. They also led late in a number of those losses but lack the closers (and maybe the coaching) to finish.

3 and 5 (and more) years ago, they were a lost cause. I don't see them as that now. I'm not the least bit embarrassed that we had to work hard to beat them, and I expect another tough one against them next time. Any win is a good win, even over DePaul.

Further, unless Reed goes pro, they will have every contributor back next season other than Coleman-Lands.

They should also have Devin Gage back, who contributed earlier in the season but has been out quite a bit due to injuries. He's out for the year with a hand injury.

Arent they losing their SOTG, dude who dances after every basket.

Not sure what the S stands for, here.

If Reed comes back I believe they will be top 3 in the Big East next season. Unfortunately for them, I think Reed is gowne

Good thing Oscar Lopez is coming back.

Was at yesterday's DePaul game. Final score was nowhere near what the game felt like. DePaul down around 15 points all game until the last 90 seconds. X came out en Fuego from 3 and hit their FTs at the end, surprisingly enough. DePaul missed a ton of short jumpers and layups which just killed them.

Charlie Moore is a good pass first point guard but needs to do less showboating and more just run the offense. He also needs to have better shot selection as well as become a better shooter. Reed definitely has all the tools to be a marquee player for them if he sticks around. I don't think his 3 pt. shooting is good enough for the NBA yet but if this is a weak draft it may be better for him to go now. I didn't get the idea that the fanbase thinks Reed will go pro.

Attendance was better than past years but half the crowd was for X. I was told that is a recurring theme for this year. DePaul did have a better student turnout than in the past.

From talking with STHs around me, the frustration remains with JLP and not Leitao yet. They are kind of going through what happened to us last year in that early success raised expectations for the year only for ship to sink once the BE season started.

And Wintrust is like a HS gym compared to Fiserv.

Unfortunately that absolute loser is only a junior.  Feels like he's a 5th year.

Reed is getting projected as a late first rounder in a couple mocks Ive seen.  If he's around that 25-35 area, he's gone.  He was very good last year and while his stats have ticked up this year, I don't think he's made a profound leap.  I don't think he's better off staying another year.

Should be a fun night in the Big East tonight!

I don't know about everyone else, but I am rooting for Butler tonight to beat Nova...here's why..even though I can understand the logic of rooting for Nova(to push Butler further behind MU in the standings), I want Butler to win because it then brings MU one game closer to MU. With MU playing Butler and Nova next week...my grand plan is MU wins both, Butler beats Nova tonight, and MU is then tied with Nova for 2nd in the BE. Easy peasy right??

Leaky ceiling delaying the game at Hinkle tonight.
Where's Buzz with his towel when you need him?

[Johnny B]

Hinkle is a dump

[jsglow]

Emptying the bucket!

[mileskishnish72]

Game delayed.

Where was this officiating crew when we needed them a few years ago at Providence?

[mileskishnish72]

Baldwin 1 for 6 vs. Nova.

[lawdog77]

Baldwin 1 for 6 vs. Nova.

How is Nova handling the pick and roll?

[Its DJOver]

Sure am glad we got Purdue in Milwaukee and not West Lafayette, entirely different team.

[MU82]

Baldwin 1 for 6 vs. Nova.

Didn't Baldwin only have 2 points or something against us in the first half?

Maybe Nova has found the secret to stopping him, but we'll see at game's end.

That's pretty good for him tbh

Buzz mops but he doesn't wipe.

Providence up on Creighton 48-45 on FSN.
