2021-22 Big East Conference Results

[Mr. Nielsen]

Villanova 7/14 from three.

[MuggsyB]

Marquette's best and ceiling is higher than both of these teams. 

[TallTitan34]

Who we rooting for tonight, Wright & Company or The Provi?

I like Providence and Cooley but dislike their fans.

Humble them Nova!

[Herman Cain]

Nova scrapping their way to a lead over Cooley & Company.

Butler and DePaul in a Dog fight.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Marquette's best and ceiling is higher than both of these teams.

Providence yes.  Villanova no

[Mr. Nielsen]

Poor breakdown on defense twice on Providence. Colin Gillespie with a career high 33 points.

[Herman Cain]

Good outcome for MU with Nova winning on the road . Cooley & Company won't go down much as they battled hard .

[bradforster]

A miraculous Butler three from the freshman.  Oh my goodness.  The lucky Lithuanian off the glass with the shot clock winding down.  Butler wins on the road in a thriller played in front of no one.

MU is fine Herman.  We had a colossal double-dud performance on Saturday, no doubt about it.  That said this team will bounce back and has already proven that we can kick it up a few gears.  It's unfortunate we lost our focus, but this may in fact re-energize us and make us hungrier.

More than lost focus. Tonight, Butler shot 26.3 from the three. Wish they had on Saturday.

[MU24]

A shame Providence wont have to make up those games, they caught a huge break.

They hit a few threes out of their ass, especially those two late.  Nevertheless, we overpressured defensively and completely lost focus in general imo.

I'm simply looking at total points scored via 3's vs. their average. I'm not debating our defensive performance, but of course more opportunities for open 3's and defensive lapses are certainly related. If they shot anywhere near their average, I think we win in an ugly game.

True.  But Golden and Eze dropping 36 points simply cannot happen.  We were not fully there from minute one which is quite upsetting but all of our mishaps are correctable.

Very classy Providence fans were throwing stuff onto the court after the game tonight.  Cooley had to jump on the PA and tell them to stop.  That's what you do after a protracted winning streak comes to an end?

I missed that.  Uhh.....wtf??  Providence might want to remind themselves that they're.....well....Providence.

I think this is them fully remembering they are, indeed, Providence.

[bradforster]

It was actually during the game at a point late in the contest.

Good Italian eats there but their team is a bit smoke and mirrors. 

[Shark]

Very excited to watch The 'Dence lose in the first round this year

[Herman Cain]

If Lavall Jordan can keep Butler playing crisp through the end of the season , he may be able to come off the hot seat .

It is unfortunate that Butler had two DII games on their schedule ( which don't count for purposes of NET). Otherwise if they would have just scheduled two cupcakes their NET ranking would have been a bit higher.

.... unless they didn't play well against those cupcakes then their NET would be even lower

This is simply not true. Butler played 4 "cupcakes" and failed to cover 3 times, so they were at a 75% likelihood to hurt their NET, not help it. And the only game in Maui/Vegas where they didn't hurt their metrics was against Chaminade, do you really think playing a Notre Dame team that's proving to be better than anyone expected would've helped them?

Before Bo Hodges joined the starting lineup, Butler played 19 games that impacted their quality metrics. In 16 of those, their quality metrics got worse, regardless of the level of opponent. Add two more D1 opponents and the odds are Butler is even worse than they are now, not better.

Well, that escalated

One of the metrics in NET is win loss percentage .

Schedule a couple of easy wins and your good to go. You Get the win percentage up and the efficiency up. All that gets added into the total .
