One of MU's biggest problem has been inconsistency. About every time we won the SOG of that game played very poorly the next game. The only way this team wins the Big East tournament is that 3 of our players get hot for four straight games. I think it is easier to stay hot for four days than its is when the games are several days apart. I seen it often in the Big East tournament where one team plays well everyday. It may not be likely, but it can happen for MU.

How many times has a sub .500 BE team made the BET finals?

The Hall loses to The Johnnies . I think The Hall is going to need to make a deep run in the BET

How many times have over half the BE been under .500 (in conference play)!?

If by deep run, you mean win the whole thing, you're right.

Unfortunate there are no fans at the BET this year. Would have been a lot of fun in a year with so many teams in a position to win a couple in a row.

There will be limited fans. UConn will probably buy up all the allotments.

See my strategy of not letting DJ know he won too early worked!

Also, seriously, 6 of 11 teams below .500 in conference. Friggin covid!

What does Covid have to do with 6 teams being below .500?

Conference records are obviously a zero sum game, and in an 11 team conference, 6 teams under .500 doesn’t seem too unusual.

Just two years ago only 2 conference teams were above .500.

It didn't take long for the cocky U Conn ways to reappear once they re-joined. They are confident they will win the BET and talking Final Four.......

The BET can be brutal to those who expect a cakewalk. UCONN seems to be peaking and has the right mentality. Let's see what adversity brings.

With a balanced schedule, it's not impossible but certainly not likely in a major conference to have over half the teams with a losing record. I just quickly scanned the P6 for the past decade, and only see that the B10 accomplished the feat in 18-19 (8 of 14 with losing records). So yes, it is unusual. Hence, covid

Sure, if you change the criteria to .500 or below, it is not too unusual.

The Hall and Johnnies will be in a rematch after the first round games are completed.

I think they need to up Aiken minutes . He adds some speed.

It was interesting during the halftime of the Women's semi-final game today, that the announcers (jim Jackson ) mentioned MU as a dark horse for the Mens Tournament. Noting prob beatG-Town and have to face the injury depleted 'Nova ! ! !

Hot off the press ... just got this in my email basket from BetOnline.ag:

Odds to win BIG EAST Tournament

Creighton 11/5

Villanova 9/4

UConn 13/5

Xavier 15/2

Seton Hall 10/1

St. John's 10/1

Providence 28/1

Marquette 33/1

Georgetown 66/1

Butler 100/1

DePaul 300/1

Obviously, I liked the value a lot better in the one I posted yesterday that had MU and StJ both at 66/1. At 10/1, the Johnnies are a lot less appealing. Marquette is still a decent value play at 33/1.

Who knows

Creighton doesnt have a coach.

Uconns to lose. I say we wanna avoid them so I guess 9 it is.

It's not the worst path. Gtown, a super dinged up Nova, and then the winner of STJ/SH. It's not the worst path. But this team is hella inconsistent--so who knows.

Its literally the best possible matchup scenario.

Too bad no fans at the tournament this year. The tournament environment is a lot of fun When so many teams have a chance to win it.
