2021-22 Big East Conference Results

[Shooter McGavin]

This is the most passive I can remember St. John's playing.

IUs defense is pretty impressive.  St. John’s is having a hard time getting inside the three point line.

Despite the very rough 1st half-IU's defense, poor shooting, and of course the flagrant 2 resulting in Mattis being ejected- St. John's came so close to pulling it off! Then there was Butler. They were simply embarrassing. Let's hope they play like that when we come to Hinkle. Kudos to Joey! He finally scored late in the game, sinking 2 FT's before Izzo pulled him out of the game.

Spot-on analysis Scoop Snoop.  Butler is a complete disaster.

Big East now 27-4 in non conference .

Your thoughts on tonight's Gavitt games? I'm thinking Xavier will come up with the BE's 5th win. Too bad that St. Johns got into a hole and could not quite dig themselves out. Anyone else here who had bad memories of our last appearance at Assembly Hall while watching the game last night? Blood thirsty IU fans probably think they should be able to treat defeated opponents like the Aztecs allegedly did in their primitive basketball games- decapitate them.

Zach Freemantle is still out for X.  They've been missing him from the games I watched.  Maybe they finally breakout in their third game like MU did.

This is a family friendly board bro, easy with the Assembly Hall talk

There’s a decent chance the 5th win will come down to DePaul, and I for one am worried.

KenPom, like most rankings, is not actually about the rank but is really about the score (AdjEM is the score that KenPom uses). As stats often are, KenPom scores are on a bell curve. There is a lot of space between the scores of teams ranked towards the top and towards the bottom and a lot less space between the scores of teams ranked towards the middle. This means that it takes a lot for top teams to move up or down (same with the garbage teams ranked 325 or worse).

For example, the space between #1 Gonzaga (+31.27 AdjEM) and #2 Kansas (+27.12) is greater than the space between #88 Marquette (+9.09) and #118 Missouri (+5.07). This means Gonzaga can likely suffer multiple losses before Kansas would be able to overtake them.

Yes and….at this time of the season, Pomeroy weighs last season heavily as he he needs sample size.  Pomeroy becomes better in late December as it is then based on just this season’s data.

I prefer Haslam, which is based on play by play data and is better early I feel. I also like that during blow outs, he stops counting at some point. His rankings seem more like what we feel the top should be right now. I am using Pomeroy more and more as just a double check to Haslam.

Unpopular opinion incoming:

I understand the necessity of more Big East non-con wins helping the league, however, as we deeper into the new Big East era, I’ve found it easier to digest these teams losing.

Yes, I know Big 14 hate

So the Big 10 was favored in every Gavitt game this season? I'm not sure what to make of that.

B10 is once again overrated?

No no, its the refs fault.  The Illinois fan in front of me on Monday assured me that Marquette, and other Big East teams, wouldn't be able to handle B10 basketball if the refs called it like a B10 game.

Which cracks me up as all three refs were B1G Conference refs.

[BM1090]

And the game was mostly called like a B10 game.

Illini fans are fun.

NH was decent competition . They should do well in their own league

[Mr. Nielsen]

To no surprise. Outstanding crowd at Cintas. Xavier beats Ohio State!

Excellent win for the Big East. This really helps the leagues cause.

[GooooMarquette]

At this rate even DePaul might beat its Big 10 opponent…
