General Big East Thread 20-21

Solid win for The Hall over U Conn. Also Butler notches another win over The Blue Demons

DePaul loss was bad then and will look worse as the season progresses.

Yes.  Terrible loss GW.

Our Johnnie win is now begin to take the  look of a quality victory.

[Billy Hoyle]

Our Johnnie win is now begin to take the  look of a quality victory.

Cancelled out by a home loss to DePaul.

[MU82]

Nova and GT tied with about 8 minutes to go.

If and when Nova wins, Wright & Co. will be happy to have pulled out a victory. Any victory is good.

19 Creighton @ Georgetown, 8:00, CBSSN - Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas

I'm surprised by both lines tonight.

I love the way Posh Alexander defends full court. Exactly the kind of player I'd like at MU.

[Mr. Nielsen]

St. John's is so streaky. Go by big runs and give up big runs. Marquette, Providence and even in the half versus Butler.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Incredible turn by St.J up 2 and with the ball.   This would be a disastrous loss for the Johnnies.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Yep. Overtime

[MuggsyB]

Killer loss and not good for the BEast.  We only have two locks, rough year.

[Dish]

SJU decision making/execution was BRUTAL in that last minute.

They had the ball with 50 plus seconds left with the game tied. How in the hell did they not go 2 for 1? That was atrocious. Then their awful inbounds pass, not doubling Thompson. That was a dumpster fire last minute.

[Billy Hoyle]

The same thing caused the loss to Georgetown. Inbounding against backcourt pressure.

Butler moves ahead of MU in the BE standings. Not good for MU.

I didn't even realize that Dr.B.  Not good at all.

[JWags85]

UCONN chokes away a very winnable game late to Providence.   Further solidifying the conference as Nova, Creighton, and a bunch of mediocrity

[Herman Cain]

Butler has improved since Bo Hodges became eligible . No easy wins in this conference.

[MuggsyB]

Bad loss for UCONN.  Not a good seasom for the BEast.  May only get two teams which would suck.

Muggsy- a lot of parity in this league. Any team that can get to 10 wins in conference will make the tournament. That has pretty much been the standard during the 18 game conference seasons, I think it will be this year even though it is a 20 game conference season , given all that has been going on with Covid.

I don't see it Herman but have not studied the potential bubble closely.  10-10 in the league will get you in?  The BEast unlike past seasons is the 5th or 6th best conf.

We'll still get at least 4. Nova & Creighton are the locks, but there's plenty of garbage on the bubble (hence why MU stayed in the mix so long) and Xavier, Seton Hall, UConn, and St John's are decent enough that 2 of them should get in, though possibly in the 10-12 seed range.

We win the BE tournament to get auto bid, scoopers heads explode. Wojo keeps his job.

Yeah, it's looking like between 4-6. I would only set the over-under for total conference wins at 2.5 though as I don't expect much from the Big East in the tournament. Pretty weak league this year. Hope to be wrong as I like to pull for other conference teams in NCAA.
