General Big East Thread 20-21

[Mr. Nielsen]

Good win for Xavier at Cincinnati.
Georgetown leads West Virginia at halftime.

Iowa State basketball's game with DePaul has been canceled, the program announced. The game was set to tipoff at 5 p.m. CT in Ames, but at 3:53 p.m. Iowa State announced the game had been canceled, "due to COVID-19 protocols inside the DePaul program."

I wonder when depaul will be able to play their first game

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

If Greg Williams Jr keeps playing the way he is, St. John's will make the dance this season. I thought he could be good going into this season, but he's had a great start and has gotten better each game.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

St. John's is a fun team to watch.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

St. John's is a fun team to watch.

Since when? They were brutal to watch against BYU last week.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

UConn going on a COVID pause. Gotta bubble up for Big East play.

UConn going on a COVID pause. Gotta bubble up for Big East play.

Sure, but who is going to pay for it?  Sounds easy, but this ain't the NBA.

[tower912]

Seton Hall getting slapped around by Penn State.

[The Sultan]

Right. It's probably cheaper to have a third of the games cancelled than go into a bubble.

[GooooMarquette]

UConn going on a COVID pause. Gotta bubble up for Big East play.

I thought their game was canceled because of a positive test on NC State's team.

[The Lens]

Seton Hall getting slapped around by Penn State.

Good.  They could go 0-30 and I would think they had too good of season.

(now that UConn is here, this is a real conference again, we're getting back to hating people)

[The Big East]

Good.  They could go 0-30 and I would think they had too good of season.

(now that UConn is here, this is a real conference again, we're getting back to hating people)

Completely agree, 1 win is 1 win too many ,U Conn has the most obnoxious fan base in the Big East.

One of my favorite  U Conn games was when Junior hit the 3 at the buzzer to put it into overtime and then we got the win.

[PGsHeroes32]

When are they going to announce the rest of the BE schedule??

They trying to bubble or just camping on it for fun?

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I thought their game was canceled because of a positive test on NC State's team.

This is correct.

Speaking of Camping, Lemonis oughta pony up the sponsorship for the bubble.

(Some in development are laughing right now)

[tower912]

Impressive comeback by SHU.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Cale misses a three at the buzzer after Willard calls a timeout. OT coming.

[PGsHeroes32]

SHU survives what was basically a must win

[Mr. Nielsen]

Great day for the Big East Conference.

Underdogs. Villanova, Xavier and Seton Hall all won. Heck, Georgetown looked good for 34 minutes.

[Billy Hoyle]

Since when? They were brutal to watch against BYU last week.

That was a tough one for them because of BYU's size inside. Haarms at 7-3 and a 6-11 dude made STJ settle for perimeter shots. Today's game was more wide open and featured a 30-2 run and they're doing this without their starting PG. I still don't see them better than 6th in conference play.

[Billy Hoyle]

HUGE one for the BE tonight with #8 Creighton taking on #5 Kansas.

And just announced, DePaul pausing for two weeks and their first two BE games are postponed.

[Shooter McGavin]

Speaking of Camping, Lemonis oughta pony up the sponsorship for the bubble.

(Some in development are laughing right now)

Lemonis tight with his cash?

[Dr. Blackheart]

Lemonis tight with his cash?

Ponied up for the Maui Invitational

And just announced, DePaul pausing for two weeks and their first two BE games are postponed.

DePaul's undefeated season continues.

[Shooter McGavin]

Knew that.  Big advertising for him. But I was thinking about the MU development office comment.  Why would people laugh at that?  Just curious.  I would never presume to tell people what to do with their money.
