2021-22 Big East Conference Results

[Scoop Snoop]

I would say that was unusual down the stretch. They usually don't rely on one guy carrying them so much, and a few have shown the ability and tendency to make big shots down the stretch. Coming out on top with Reeves out and Durham so limited was somewhat surprising, especially with Watson pretty much invisible all night. Xavier played great D on a lot of possession and Prov ends up making a big late in the shot clock shot. They did the same against Butler after being way behind.

As much crap as they are taking for being "lucky," and they certainly are having a charmed season, 23-3 and 13-2 is damn impressive. I don't know that Prov will have a long tourney run, but they deserve props and to enjoy the hell out of an all-time magical season. It's also good for the conf to have someone other than Nova win it outright in my opinion.

True. Give them credit rather than constantly beating the "they're just lucky" drum. 

[Hards Alumni]

There is no difference. They both own Shaka. McDermott outcomes Shaka each time.

Look guys, Eeyore is back.  If all you feel about Marquette basketball is sadness, maybe find something else to occupy your time.

Good ol' Joyless Willie.

Good ol' Joyless Willie.

Willie is the guy who questions why the manager brought in a closer who just saved 45 straight games and finally blows one and asks why the manager used him

[Its DJOver]

The last 20 seconds of that half was the most Georgetown and DePaul thing ever.

[DFW HOYA]

At the half: 19 combined field goals, 21 turnovers.

Tonight was probably Georgetown's last realistic chance for a Big East win. They will likely be double digit underdogs in their remaining games and their first BET game will be against a Xavier or Seton Hall team in need of a win.

At best, Georgetown could win 3 conference games. The last time they won only 3 conference games was 1937 in the short-lived Eastern Intercollegiate Conference. They haven't hit rock bottom yet either, they went 1-7 in the EIC in 1935. Ewing could bring them their first ever oh-fer in conference play.

So what you're saying is that you don't think they'll sweep through the conference tournament this year? Oh ye of little faith!

Nice reference to the EIC--not a lot of people know about it.

Some trivia about those years--Georgetown had quietly ended all athletic scholarships after 1931 and the respective teams (football, basketball, baseball) teams sank accordingly. In the fall of 1935, scholarships were returned. By 1938 football began a 23 game win streak that ended with the 1941 Orange Bowl, and by 1939 Georgetown as the basketball co-champion in the last year of the EIC, a rather competitive conference which included Pitt, Penn State, Carnegie Tech, Temple and West Virginia. (This would also have made a nice all-sports conference but that was not the thinking way back when.)

I assume we want X today?  Not a good half for them.

[PGsHeroes32]

X is a team in complete disarray
