[MuggsyB]

UCONN with 22pts at the half?  At home?

[VegasWarrior77]

Final - Creighton 59 - UCONN 55

[Herman Cain]

UCONN with 22pts at the half?  At home?

The results of any particular Creighton game are an enigma wrapped in a riddle.

Big win for Creighton's tournament resume tonight.

[DFW HOYA]

Plenty of seats at the Seton Hall-Georgetown game.

[StillWarriors]

UCONN with 22pts at the half?  At home?

At one point, everyone but Whaley for UConn was a combined 1-19 shooting.

[nyg]

Plenty of seats at the Seton Hall-Georgetown game.

8:30 tip off with no Metro from campus.

Plus students who want to drive/park 💰💰 and the lack of Kevlar vests.

Who should I root for Herman?

[Johnny B]

at what point does g town move to a smaller venue? just laughable to play in front of a 80% empty us celluar areana. even big games on the weekend this year they get 65% full maybe. waste of money.

[warriorstrack]

Willard seems to be able to keep it together when coaching against Ewing, fear factor???

Root for Cooley & Company

Root for Cooley & Company

I've always kind of liked Cooley, but I will not root for & Company, so I guess I've got divided allegiances here.

Can't--no place to go. On-campus is obsolete (built 1951, never renovated), no available arenas bigger than 5K in the area outside of George Mason and Univ. of Maryland.

Announced attendance tonight: 3,462. If you saw it on TV, you know better.

It's sad. Georgetown was supposed to help carry the reconstituted Big East. But they've sucked for a few years now and can't give tickets away.

The Gtown team that had just lost to FGCU was supposed to carry the conference? The one that had only won three regular season titles since 1997?  Just goes to show we don't need them to be good for the conference to be elite. It's not 1984 anymore.

But they're elite in Mens Soccer, so there's that.

Revisionist history my man.  They had made 4 straight tourneys up until that FGCU year, and 3 of those 4 years they were a 3 seed or better in the NCAA tourney.  They were a top 15-20 team annually for almost 5 years leading into the BE fracturing and restructuring.  They may not have been the class of the league but they were a really solid program at the time.  Unfortunately their unraveling coincided with the start of the NBE

That's really sad. PE has to be dead man walking right? Who do they get next?

Looks like they are playing SJU there? Can't hurt. https://www.casualhoya.com/2022/1/30/22909934/home-court-georgetown-to-host-st-johns-at-mcdonough-with-students-only-ewing-big-east-aminu-dante

Hurley says he is embarrassed by loss to Creighton

McDermott says his team fought U Conn tooth and nail

"I was stunned at being down 10 at halftime," Hurley said. "It should have been down four at the half. We did bizarre [things] with the ball. We didn't look like a well-coached team. I am embarrassed by that. I am embarrassed by how we played. UConn should never look like this."

Big props to Hurley for holding his team and himself accountable. We need more of that kind of honesty in coaching.

It makes me feel a little bad for saying that I'm still not overly impressed with the job Hurley has done at UConn. I'm NOT saying he's been bad or anything; I just thought he'd have the program a little further along. We'll see how the rest of his 4th season goes, and then beyond.

I think he's been doing pretty well. The two years before he arrived, they were under 500 in the AAC. Since Hurley arrived:
16-17 AAC
19-12 AAC
15-8 Big East Lost 1st rd NCAA
15-5 With a highest ranking of 15

I think with Hurley there,they will be in the Top 3 or 4 in the league every year.

He's doing OK. He's doing fine. We'll see!
