General Big East Thread 20-21

[mumi27]

Xavier has looked just awful since their first game blowout win against Oakland. These past three game have been wins for them but they've been bad in all of them

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Willard needs a lesson in how to wear a mask.

[Lennys Tap]

How many games does "history" win exactly? Asking for friends named Temple and Western Kentucky.

LOL. When was the last time Temple and Western Kentucky went S16, S16 and E8? That was Marquette in 3 of the 4 years before Wojo arrived. When was the last time Temple or Western Kentucky make the Final Four? That was Marquette 11 years BW (before Wojo).

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Yea X looks bad. This isn't even the good directional Kentucky.

Willard needs a lesson in how to wear a mask.

Hopefully he doesn't get the lesson from Pitino, who thinks his mask is a chinstrap.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Seton Hall down 9 to the Fightin' Pitinos late in the first half. Though as I type this the Hall is going on a run to close the gap before the half

Put some money on Iona at +18.

I am sticking with what I said earlier in this thread ... and in the other 4 or 5 threads that devolved into a Wojo vs Cooley debate:

I have seen no evidence that Cooley is a better coach than Wojo.

If the argument is that the MU coach automatically should have more success than the Providence coach — regardless of who the coaches are — just because he's at Marquette, that's a different debate.

I like to think Marquette is a better program — a better blank canvas for any artist — but I admit I'm biased.

[MU82]

Seton Hall now up 9. Iona's PG just threw a terrible, lazy pass that SH stole and turned into a 2-on-1 dunk. It was a 2-on-1 because the Iona player the pass was intended for barely jogged back on D. Pitino not happy.

You got so very close to the point ... and then blew past it completely.

[The Big East]

Cooley is one of the more entertaining coaches in College Basketball. Very happy he is coaching in our league and wish him well except when he is playing MU.

Providence basic problem over the years is they haven't had a lot of good three point shooters in a sport that has moved in that direction . Nonetheless they figure out ways to win.

I always look forward to MU games with The Friars

Lots of coaches (and players) need a lesson in how to wear a mask. The average Joe at my nearby grocery store does better than what I have seen at games.

[Silkk the Shaka]

I like listening to Walton. He has a different way of looking at things.

Agreed, always entertaining stream of consciousness

Interestingly, Oakland took Michigan to overtime on Sunday.  Early season high variance.  Don't think it's abnormal at all, TBH.  Get some wins, test yourself and build the resume. 

[The Sultan]

And I think the variance is higher this year than normal.

They didn't foul either while up 3 with 3.4 seconds to go in the game.  EKU player made a 3 to go to OT.

Navy 78 Georgetown 71 Final.

[Johnny B]

can prov play one complete game already jeez. duke aint look like a first rounder

[Its DJOver]

We certainly had our struggles last night but, StJ just lost to BYU, PC is struggling, X has been flirting with disaster for a while now, Gtown lost to Navy and are in full rebuild mode, BU looked far from convincing in their one game and DePaul technically hasn't lost yet.  Whole conference seems to be down, and TBH this probably isn't a bad year for that to happen.

That's why I thought it was pretty much Nova then a mass of who the hell knows. Of course, now even 'Nova has a loss.

Early results for the Big East have been really poor.  With fewer chances at quality non-con wins it will be interesting how many bids the Big East gets this year.  Not looking good at this point.

[mumi27]

Seton Hall lost to Rhode Island 76-63. Continues the rough start for the Big East

[MU82]

Apparently, Wojo is doing a terrible job of coaching ALL the Big East teams.

It was only a matter of time before his malaise swept over the entire conference.

[geps]

Cooley and Co. lose again this time to 'Bama. Not even close.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

It's looking like a down year for most of the Big East which likely means an up year for DePaul.
