General Big East Thread 20-21

[Scoop Snoop]

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

I have a heart condition. Are you trying to kill me?

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

Covid shut-downs have really hurt, but seems people are overlooking Xavier a bit. They didn't look good early on in some wins and they've missed several games, but they have put together a very good record, including beating No. 12 Oklahoma by 22. Barring some bad losses down the stretch, X should be in line for a 7 seed or so. Hardly a bubble team.

You meant to keep this in teal. We can't even beat DePaul. So winning the BET is just a cloud of hashish smoke floating above your head

UConn better hope Bouknight gets back soon. 1-5 since he went down against us. The fact he was on the court for their comeback/our meltdown even though he couldn't contribute shows his importance.

He really wasn't on the court for the comeback.  They played much, much better when he wasn't on the court against Marquette.  Marquette was up 41-23 when UCONN took a timeout with 17:03 and Bouknight came out.  He made a very short appearance when UCONN had cut the lead to 7 but went back to the bench very shortly after, and then didn't check back in until it was 52-50 Marquette. 

[Mr. Nielsen]

I feel the game is bigger for UConn than Xavier. Yet, big one for both.

61-54 Uconn. Games on FOX

I have no idea how to evaluate XU or UCONN.

[mileskishnish72]

I've got to admit, I'm rooting hard for Georgetown today. Tenth place with two losses to the eleventh team might get the attention of those that hire and fire.

I just saw the  BEast individual stats in the 5 major categories.

Scoring:  No MU player in top 5

Rebounding:  No MU player in top 5

Assists:  No MU player in top 5

Steals:  No MU player in top 5

Blocks:  Theo is #4 with 1.8.

Not exactly impressive numbers.

Those numbers don't tell you much beyond who gets a ton of minutes. Here's more relevant stats:

eFG%: Cain is #5 with 59.6%
OR%: Garcia is #2 with 12.2%, Lewis is #5 with 10.6%
DR%: No MU players in top 5 (top is Lewis at #9)
ARate: No MU players in top 5 (top is Carton at #9)
Stl%: No MU players in top 25
Blk%: No MU players top 5 (top is John at #7)

Still not great, but your numbers don't tell you much other than MU's production is more balanced amongst 6 players and other teams rely a little more on specific player.

[MuggsyB]

Great half of hoops from Creighton.  Only up 6 but Zeg is on fire.

You forgot one stat, Most excuses offered by Fans: MU Scoop

[MuggsyB]

The fact that the Jays are destroying Nova makes Wednesday's ass whooping even worse.  We are nowhere near where we need to be.  It's also worth noting that 9th in the BEast this year is worse than 9th the past 6 years.  This conf is down considerably.

Totally agree. It's a sad time to be a Marquette fan.

[MuggsyB]

Totally agree. It's a sad time to be a Marquette fan.

And remember we beat this Creighton team in Omaha.  Obviously that was one night and anything can happen in a single game but it's still tough to stomach as an MU fan.

What about 10th?

[MuggsyB]

What about 10th?

Do you think we'll win another game?  10th is certainly a possibility.  Smh.

Yep. The talent is there. This team has the same look as last season when they looked totally clueless at the end of the year. So many years of going backwards as the season goes on.

Well it's a reality today with Georgetown's win

[Mr. Nielsen]

Creighton with an outstanding showing!

[HutchwasClutch]

Jordan may well be on hot seat if they continue to bottom out.  He's shown very little so far.  Not that much better than Wojo.

[MuggsyB]

Exactly right.  It's that "totally clueless" look of complete resignation.  I think the excuse train is over.

This season has the same feeling as Buzz's last year.

Butler is 2 slots ahead of MU. MU is 10th. % wise.

[CountryRoads]

Yes, but without the years of relevance and success just prior.
