General Big East Thread 20-21

[MuggsyB]

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.

I think both would have been in the rotation.  C-R played 20 mins a game in 2019.  All I'm saying is they would have helped.  "Key players" was the wrong choice of words.

Antoine has never been healthy . Came back to early from shoulder injury last year and dealing with more of the same this year

Fair enough.  Nova is head and shoulders the best team in the BEast and have very little size.  But they do have the ability to put 5 guys on the floor that can all dribble, pass, and shoot.  Wright obviously knows what he's doing.

Classic Big East Battle between The Blue Jays and Blue Demons. Creighton will be very lucky to come out of this game with a W.

CU was lucky.  Our coach took the game away from the players and called plays himself.  Not another bucket in final 2 minutes.  And, we go from up 2 to lose by 7.  TY coach, for the CU 9-0 run.

Is the Villanova / Marquette game rescheduled? I hope it doesn't for embarrassment sake

Not yet, and it may not be. 

For the long term good of the program, hope it is though.

It would be like us this season to win the Nova game after getting destroyed by every other crap team.

[Billy Hoyle]

It looks like standings and BET seeding (if played) will be done by conference winning percentage:

With the 11 Big East unlikely to all play 20 games, told final standings will go by winning percentage. #bigeasthoops

looks like few reached out to wright to schedule a game this weekend since they are both free. jay said he wants to look for a B east team first. looks like it will be g town. instead of an epic top 3 showdown we get nova and a crap ass g town team. yay college bball

[PGsHeroes32]

1. When did Nova schedule Gonzaga??

2. Why the hell would the BE/Nova sacrifice that match up for a Gtown blood bath?

Kevin Willard's 200th at the Hall

[tower912]

I remember when the talk was that Willard couldn't coach and everyone was counting the days until he was fired.    Now, 10.5 years into his career at Seton Hall, he gets win 200.    Congratulations, coach.

Willard struggled in his first few years, but to his credit it was a much tougher conference then and he was going against the likes of Pitino, Boeheim, Brey, Buzz, Huggins, among others night in and night out. His path to victory is much easier now with the current setup and he has been much more consistent as a result.

That's nice for Seton Hall. I guess never making it past the second round of the Tourney (1-4) or NIT (1-1) isn't as important in South Orange.

Nova down 11 to St. J.

Not great for tourney seeding of Nova loses this game.  They seem to be completely out of sorts.  14 turns.. 

[MuggsyB]

Wow....this game looks over.  St. J just beating Nova to smithereens.
