[The Big East]

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

Good win for Nova over Providence.

UConn postpones two games.

So reading the tweet, the positive test was from an official at the UConn Butler game. Wouldn't that theoretically mean that Butler will end up postponing too? That would impact us.

[CountryRoads]

Seton hall up 10 over Creighton at the half. Creighton plummeting in the rankings and will likely be out after 1-2 more losses. So much for that top 10 road win.

[The Big East]

Aiken playing well adds a different dimension to Seton Hall

Seems like it should. Strange...

[CreightonWarrior]

Creighton overcame 16 point second half deficit to win.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Ballock finished with 29 points.

[Golden Avalanche]

Creighton overcame 16 point second half deficit to win.

Hall has lost three of four, blowing double digit second half leads in two of those games. Nova up next.

[Knight Commission]

Wondering if Zac Moffat would consider coaching?

Glad to see Providence lose this one. Cheer against the bubble teams until you're eliminated, right?

I think MU wins the next 2 and has a shot to get back in the bubble picture next Saturday vs. Creighton.

Off topic question - why the hell is Marquette Butler at 4 pm Tuesday?

What??   4pm?    That's crazy.

Definitely true for PC. Better for any bubble teams to lose.

Best case for this week is to best St John's & Butler by large margins, then get by Creighton. That would probably put them in the field and just need to go .500 from there on out.

College basketball has had many games at 4pm this year. Rescheduled games. FS1 has 4 games that night. Get your popcorn.

[DFW HOYA]

The Big East, in sum:

1. Villanova is way, way ahead of everyone.
2. Creighton and UConn are place and show.
3. Six teams are in the soup, can win or lose any given day.
4. Georgetown spends a lot of money to be sitting with DePaul in the cellar.

Wright does a tremendous job developing players.   2 of their key guys have been out all season.

Who????

[MuggsyB]

Crosby-Roundtree and Antione.  It's conceivable C-R wouldn't have played heavy mins but Antione is supposedly a stud.  Roundtree has been hurt for almost 2 yrs.

[Johnny B]

round tree is a solid back up. hardly "key". Antoine was a top 15 recruit but has barely played or practiced at nova due to injury. hasnt proven anything. not really key either but maybe eventually

[Mr. Nielsen]

Xavier's first game since Jan. 10th. Strong start. Up 29-17 on FS1.

[brewcity77]

Bad bubble day for the Big East. Probably a 4-bid league if the tournament started today.

[Herman Cain]

I don't think it help the Big East for Cooley & Company to lose th Ewing & Associates. The League is better off with a clear cellar dweller than have multiple mediocre teams. I guess that is life in The Big East where you can take any game for granted .

Right now there are two in the cellar. St. John's is a step above those two.

Antione hurt or not was brutal last year. Anything he would have given this year would have been a positive.

They have all their top players available and Wright rarely goes very deep.
