2021-22 Big East Conference Results

[mileskishnish72]

Nova is down 8 to X at the half. Their outside shooting is as bad as ours.

If we had a 4-game stretch of 3-point shooting like Nova, Scoop would undergo spontaneous combustion.

[Uncle Rico]

The reports of Villanova's demise have been exaggerated

[Billy Hoyle]

Big 12 and Big West have changed their COVID policies. No more forfeits. Will the BE be next?

ACC has changed theirs too. BE will "consider" a change.

[Billy Hoyle]

Big East eliminates forfeits, signs point to retroactively reversing the ones already awarded.

Good.

It's the only thing that makes sense, and the only thing that's fair.

Punishing people for doing nothing wrong is stoopid.

[Billy Hoyle]

Agreed, especially when you have a fully vaccinated team like DePaul with just a couple of asymptomatic players that put others in protocol.

[Billy Hoyle]

St. John's v. Butler for tonight is off.

[mileskishnish72]

Well, despite the fact that we're in the 11 slot, we're in pretty good company with UConn, Nova and Xavier as the only teams with losses.

Yeah. We should try to sugar coat all of our shortcomings by deflecting toward other teams. 11 slot is not acceptable and is mid major territory at best.

2 games into conference season.

Beats 3 of the high major teams in non con

Beats all mid majors we've played.

Willie: THIS TEAM IS MID MAJOR AT BEST!!!!!

Only losses are to ranked teams

I personally think we need to drop this as some sort of impressive achievement.  MU is 1-4 against ranked teams.   7-1 against the rest.  UConn wasn't ranked when we played - and the bonnies certainly aren't anymore either, but I'll grant you they were ranked at the time of the game.

That's fair, I retract that statement.

Where are those high majors predicted to finish in their conferences? There's a difference between beating Oregon State and Arizona. Mississippi is 11-1 in Ken Pom, which we all know is never wrong. WVU, with a weak schedule is our best win at 41.

And isn't St Bonaventure, who absolutely throttled us, a mid-major?

[rocky_warrior]

Ahem, Illinois.

[Billy Hoyle]

St John's and Seton Hall are now scheduled to play back to back games, 1/22 and 1/24, one at MSG and one at Walsh Gymnasium. MU could end up playing a BE game at the the Al.

Glad they are willing to do this and it should have happened with MU and Creighton this week.

Why were you so soft on, and supportive of Wojo for 5-6 years, yet continue to nitpick at this team's accomplishments in Year 1 under Shaka?

[tower912]

His board, his rules.

travel arrangements likely played a role in the decisions. SJ and SH could take public transit from campus to campus if they have to, CU and MU have to fly. I know MU charters for every game but I don't know what CU does.

Whatever CU does, MU could've chartered in to Omaha tonight or tomorrow. Creighton's plans wouldn't have changed because they were scheduled to play at home tonight and here Saturday, so nothing would've tangibly changed.

That's simple.  Wojo came in with no head coaching experience, but proved to be a pretty good recruiter and we all hoped he could learn to coach.  That didn't happen unfortunately, but we did need time to see if he could learn.

Shaka comes in as an experienced head coach in his 13th year.  We've seen what he *can* do, and I expected him to hit the ground running.  So far, it appears he's just doing warm ups.

[MuggsyB]

What's up with Providence's jerseys?

[Herman Cain]

Solid win for Cooley & Company over The Hall.

Butler also gets a Big East victory with a win over DePaul

I agree with this analysis.

It feels like a team of placeholders.

Lewis is the only guy you would really, really want back.
