That is the Creighton's fan base's knock on McDermott.  If the team isn't shooting well from outside, they never really have any adjustments to counter for consistent scoring.  They have a style/brand of playing, and when it doesn't work, the team loses.  Villanova, due to its abundance of high talent, can beat you in a variety of ways, which continues to make them a year-in, year-out national favorite. 

Providence's win was not good for Marquette.  It appears that MU and PC, at present, are both battling for #6 (which likely is the last remaining tournament spot from the BE into the NCAAT).  A loss for them would have created a little separation.  We remain neck and neck with them (with a very important H2H victory).

From a quadrant standpoint, Providence winning helped. Our win over Providence moved from Q3 to Q2 and at Creighton is still a Q1A win with an 11 spot buffer to Q1B. The game at Providence is now a Q1 game.

MU's Current Quadrant Profile:
Q1A: 2-3
Q1B: 0-0
Q2A: 0-3
Q2B: 2-0
Q3: 1-0
Q4: 3-0

There isn't a cap on the number of teams a conference can put into the Tournament.  It's not "either Providence or Marquette."  Both teams could easily get in based on what they do the rest of the season, and both teams could easily miss the Tournament based on what they do the rest of the season.

Butler pausing their game for tomorrow with Seton Hall due to a Covid issue within the bulldogs program. I know it's somewhat out, but wonder if our game Feb. 2nd is in jeopardy or will be the first game back for butler.

My understanding is that pauses are a minumum of 2 weeks. Given that they played on the 19th, the earliest the pause could have started was the 20th, putting the 2 week mark at February 3rd. I think that means that the game is canc...er...postponed.

I could be wrong but I believe that the minimum pause length was reduced.

The 6th place Big East team will not make the tournament without winning two games in Big East tournament.

As a result of the shorten non-conference season the Big East has very little respect.

The BEast is down from past seasons.  I don't recall us ever being out of the top 3 in the NET and we're 5th.  On the other hand there is a big drop between the B10 and B12 vs the other conferences.  When you look at very little distinguishes the SEC, ACC, and the BEast.

It has been difficult to find any definitive statement of the BE rules.

Since inception of this version of The Big East, the conference has done very well every year in non conference. The NET metrics are complex, however the three general areas of adjusted winning percentage, Big Wins and Team Efficiency the league as a whole did well on. The value of beating the cupcakes was that win loss percentage and efficiency went up and every year it seemed like each team had at least one signature win.

The problem this year, is  a)some of our worst teams in conference did not get their cupcake games in and b) the better teams did not have the benefit of a full schedule to get in the signature wins. So the league now has 4 sub 100 teams. The problem with that is that two of those teams , The Johnnies  and Butler can actually compete and win games in conference against the better teams. 

So what the league needs now is for the top 7 to keep doing well and the bottom 4 to perform poorly.

That's a real existential question you pose there!   Let's not get too philosophical on a Friday... but one has to ask... if a game is scheduled but there's no fans and I don't watch it on tv, was it ever even played?

We do not really know for sure that the Big East is down, because of the shorten non-conference season.

Butler back in business, planning to play UConn Tuesday. The test was deemed a false positive.

I think  U Conn is going to be an increasingly powerful program in our Big East Conference as the years go by.   Coach Hurley is a solid coach and the recruits he is bringing in are getting the job done, with more on the way.

We’ll see. So far, Hurley has not distinguished himself at this level, but it’s early.

UConn has everything a program needs to have success, though. Much like Marquette.

Good win for Creighton today over a  U Conn squad  that played tough without Bouknight.  The Blue Jays needed to get back on the winning side of things after losing two straight.

Now that is a new reason to delay a game.   Blinded by the light.
