Apparently. Sounds like it's so they can go home for the holidays, which seems like a good way to hamstring this whole "playing safe as a league" thing they are attempting.

The BE built in make up weeks. I don’t blame the kids for wanting a quick break...as long as they’re responsible.

Marquette wins at Creighton ... Seton Hall wins at Marquette ... Providence wins at Seton Hall.

That's the way it's gonna be all season, folks.

We all want to win 'em all. It ain't gonna happen ... not even for Nova.

This is why I love big east basketball. So competitive, almost every game is entertaining and means something. My sister, a Pac12 grad also prefers watching our games for the same reason. it's an exciting brand of basketball.

DePaul's first game was to be Wednesday against UConn.  But, UConn cancelled due to Covid.  11 cancellations now.

Fortunately, Western Ill had an opening and will come to Wintrust to play DePaul.  They may get a game this year after all.

Tough opener, going up against the defending national champs

Creighton and Xavier a combined 25% on 3s tonight. Mostly wide open shots. MU didn't catch those breaks.

Maybe they will vs. Nova tonight.

Kunkel missed a wide-open three that would have tied it with about 2 seconds to go.

And Kunkel misses a wide open one with 3 seconds left for the tie. Sometimes it just doesn't break your way.

Is DePaul allowing fans into Wintrust? It looks the same to me.

Creighton doesn’t strike me as a top 10 team for this reason. When they are cold, they have zero offense and look terrible. They had multiple stretches of 4-5 min without scoring.  It was brutal.

But nothing compared to the Butler/Prov first half. Holy hell that was AWFUL basketball. Both teams shooting bricks and playing slow halfcourt possession basketball

The Creighton Style of play always has a few games each year where they can't hit the broad side of the barn.  Also because their kids feed off each other, when things go back they all join in.

In a negative mood after the loss,  but I bet good money one if not both will torch the nets against us at least one of the games.  Would not surprise me if we go 2-2 against those two.  Hope to be surprised.

Good luck, Jay.

We can only hope no MU players or staff were infected last week.

Lucky he isn't a Detroit Coach and the NCAA isn't the NFL.
