BIG EAST TOURNAMENT THREAD

[MuggsyB]

Correct

Wow. X will not make the tournament.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

FT's no matta

Steele y Scruggs are idiots. Awful

Free throws mattered bigly

[MuggsyB]

Free throws mattered bigly

13 for 29??   How could that not matter?  Unless my phone box score is wrong?

[MUBurrow]

Quite the rock fight in the nightcap so far.

[StillAWarrior]

Indeed.  Looks like it's gonna be a late night in the garden!

You're telling me. My daughter is a Georgetown alum, so we're here to the bitter end.

[MuggsyB]

I'm grateful we didn't fall to the 6 seed. 

[DoctorV]

I'd kind of like to see SH lose tonight, mainly because I dislike them, but also because I think MU has a better resume despite what the computers say.

Although I think they are close in the NET to giving MU another Q1 win

We absolutely have a better resume and smacked them twice.

Sounds Ike a colossal meltdown by XU.  I didn't see it but did Scruggs intentionally foul up 2?  He didn't know the score?

I imagine Steel said "When he makes the FT, we are fouling up 3".  Scruggs missed the FT, and proceeded to foul at half court,  forgetting the part about we foul up 3, AFTER making the FT.

What a colossal choke job.  I had flashbacks to Wojo screaming foul in a tied game, thinking we were behind. 

And, after 5 minutes of stumbling, Tim Brando and Raft can't seem to understand what happened.  !  Brando kept saying you foul up 2, just before the opponent shoots a 3.  WHAT????  Unbelievable!  Man is Brando bad.  I like Raft, but his best days are in the rear view mirror.  He was mostly silent during all of this.

LOL.  Ty for the recap.

Unfortunately we don't absolutely have a better resume.

[Oldgym]

About to say the Hoyas look like a different team tonight.  Then they forgot the shot clock on two straight possessions.

[MuggsyB]

Unfortunately we don't absolutely have a better resume.

Disagree.  We have better wins and punked them twice. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Punked? We beat them twice, including a one point win.

I disagree and feel strongly about our superiority.  We controlled both games vs the Hall including a bludgeoning in their building for about 30 mins.

Sure, disagree even though the numbers say otherwise.

[Oldgym]

Willard looks nervous.

At least it's an entertaining nightcap so far!

[MuggsyB]

Hard to believe Gtown is winless in the conference.

[JWags85]

Hard to believe Gtown is winless in the conference.

Is it though? This is an inspired death rattle performance to end the year. They still absolutely stink and only lost by 5 or less twice all BE season, to Butler and DePaul. 

[PGsHeroes32]

The real Gtown starting to show up offensively. Out of control. Forcing shots into blocks. Wild passes.

Still got a shot though.

They're bad, no doubt about that.   Still....0-19?

[PGsHeroes32]

People talk a lot about Mohammad being a nice player to have transfer here(he would be)

Holloway is also a very solid player. A little out of control at times but hes strong and can shoot it a bit.

[Oldgym]

Yes, the rule of blind squirrels and nuts would seem to apply.  GU's passing is atrocious.  Still...gonna be a fun finish.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yup they blew it
