2021-22 Big East Conference Results

[Herman Cain]

Once again Non-Conference very important to the Big East.


Some tasty cupcakes to get the season started:

Mt. St. Marys at Nova
Central Connecticut at U Conn
IUPUI at Butler
Fairfield at Providence
Niagara at X
Mississippi Valley State at The Johnnies
Arkansas Pine Bluff at Creighton
SIUE at MU

[mubb3434]

Butler looks terrible to open up vs. IUPUI. 8 minutes in they are down 5-7...This does not look like the 6th best team in the Big East...

[Herman Cain]

Creighton down at half to Ark Pine Bluff

[rocky_warrior]

CU coming back.  But bad first half for them.

[Herman Cain]

Cooley& Company open with a win over Fairfield

[Herman Cain]

Big East with 8-0 record to start the season

[Herman Cain]

Fairleigh Dickinson at Seton Hall
Coppin State at Depaul

Hopefully , The Big East can put two more wins on the board. Coppin State has had some upsets over the years so DePaul better be on guard .

[The Equalizer]

Big East with 8-0 record to start the season

Just for argument's sake, here are the rankings and margins of victory for those games (kenpom rankings):

#224 Fairfield at Providence (PC by 7)
#235 Niagara at X (Xavier by 3)
#291 Mt. St. Marys at Nova (Villanova by 40)
#311 SIUE at MU (MU by 11)
#331 IUPUI at Butler (Butler by 9)
#348 Central Connecticut at U Conn (UConn by 51)
#356 Arkansas Pine Bluff at Creighton (CU by 13)
#358 (last in KenPom) Mississippi Valley State at The Johnnies (St. Johns by 58)

Before the season I was ready to concede that Villanova and UConn were probably the two teams that would fight it out for first and that St. Johns is a likely pick for #3.  I wasn't convinced that Marquette couldn't be in the hunt for 4th, and the relative performance of Butler, PC, X, and Creighton against similar-level competition, I still think it's wrong to count us out.

4th isn't crazy at all.  I don't think that happens but it'll be tight after the top two.  Someone will be really bad outside of DePaul.  Just not sure who yet

Big East now 10-0 after two romps by The Hall and DePaul

It was interesting how close several of those wins over cupcakes were. It's early, and there's been a lot of turnover. Teams are still trying to figure out who they are. This process will go on for weeks (or longer). There will be some results that make us go "Wha?"

Hope the kids don't leave the plantation.

[Galway Eagle]

This game is painful to watch. Like I'm certain a rec center team would beat Creighton tonight.
