Big East NCAA Tournament Thread 20-21 Season

[Dr. Blackheart]

Congrats to Georgetown and Coach Ewing.  Good for the conference and national prominence Georgetown used to have.  Just a great story for a team not expected to even come close to this result and Wojo Sucks has nothing to do with wishing them well in the NCAA Tournament.  Keep it going Hoyas.

+1

I am embarrassed for Creighton.

They clearly quit on their coach. No effort whatsoever. Terribly coached. Biggest game of the year, and they didn't even show up. Losing by 100 at halftime and end up losing by 200 - no adjustments.

I mean, they lost TWICE to Georgetown, a team just about everybody was calling not just bad but total trash just 5 days ago.

Hell, they even lost to Marquette ... and there isn't anything more embarrassing than that!

[BM1090]

They've absolutely improved. It's a cool story. I doubt they finish top half of the league next year.

I stupidly took MU instead of GT thinking that the winner had a good shot. What could have been. Took Georgetown ML tonight though. Would have been annoyed had I not given myself a chance to win anything off this run.

Georgia Tech +860 tonight too, but I'm pessimistic.

I've been on the Georgia Tech train for weeks now. They are 20-1 to make the Final Four. I've got a ticket on them and hoping to cash a 25-1 ticket tonight on the ACC title.

[Herman Cain]

Great win for Georgetown. Hopefully Big East get 4 in the tournament .

I love this GT team. I just don't particularly like this matchup for them.

4 is a lock Herman.  I'm just not sure they will advance very far.

Will be a good game and tech has the horses to compete with FSU. Devoe is a player.

Ole Lenny Hamilton has quietly turned FSU into a factory of wins the past few years.

I know this tongue-in-cheek but that actually was an embarrassing performance by Creighton

[Mr. Nielsen]

It doesn't look like it to me but the tournament can be a bit ot a crapshoot.

Will be fun. Different with limited fans. No band, cheerleaders. Do higher seeds come out flat? Underdog won't have a full arena behind them. Lots of unknowns.

Some serious weird commentary tonight about georgetown's success when compared to the hypothetical about how any wojo success would be received next year.

Year 4 Ewing vs year 8 Wojo. Every reasonable fan was on the Wojo train year 5. I think any late season run moving forward will be met with high levels of skepticism.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Mike DeCourcey has ...
Villanova 5 seed
Creighton 6
Connecticut 7
Georgetown 13

Xavier, first four out

[CountryRoads]

Congrats to that one Hoya fan who posts here. Will be rooting on the Hoyas next week. Don't so much care for the other BE teams this year.

Year 7, but fair point.

Year 7, but fair point.

Georgetown beat the brakes off of us in year 7. The hypothetical would be year 8.

I'm not holding my breath. They'll probably be too tired at the end of the season.

I see what you were saying now. Not going to hear an argument from me. I expect next year to be Wojo's last.

No worries. Took me a second to double check my work too ;-)

I've always found it odd Georgetown wears the brand of the guy who beat them in the National Championship game.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Congrats to Georgetown. Gives the Big East Four NCAA Tournament Locks.

Patrick after thanked his best friend Michael Jordan for giving him his first chance as a coach.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Pete Gillen on the CBS Sports Desk tonight was the one who called the 1st Marquette Georgetown game this year and called the MU comeback at halftime, said GTown improved greatly and he was happy for them tonight.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Georgetown gets off to a 3-8 start, misses four games with covid, then goes 10-4 to finish with a 13-12 record.

So true. They clearly quit. Announcers said they are quitting quitters!

[MuggsyB]

There were similarities between our performance and their performance tonight.  The difference is they are a lock NCAA tourney team and played 3 games in 3 nights.   We were playing a 1st Rd conf tournament game with everything on the line in an elimination game.
