Big East 2024 -25 Results

The UConn-X game was a great game to watch. Two very good teams and a great atmosphere. Best part, MU belongs in the same the conversation as those two teams. A crazy amount of progress by the program in 1.5 years.

We actually don't know if MU controls its own destiny. Even if we win out, PC could win out or X could win out besides the game against us (they play each other twice so they can't both win out). With either we would be 1-1 in head to head so we have to move to the second tiebreaker, record against the third place team (or teams if there's a tie). We don't know who that third place team will be or how the tiebreakers would shake out. If X or Providence end up in that third spot, we would end up in second because X and Providence have yet to play each other (so if one of them is winning out, they would be 2-0 against the other).

Maybe just semantics, but a tie for first place is in my book a Big East championship.

The tiebreakers are only for purposes of seeding in the conference tournament.

If MU wins out they can do no worse than a 2 way tie for the Big East championship with either Xavier or Providence.

When we won the big east in 2013 did you not consider it a championship? I mean for seeding purposes we came in 3rd but we still got a trophy and some cool swag

The Big East sees things the same. If two teams tie at the top, they are considered Co-Big East Champions. This also holds true if three teams tie, as Marquette fans should recall.

It is a championship but I'm greedy

In your scenario we almost certainly get the 2 seed because the other one of those two is probably getting 3rd.

Since Creighton would in that scenario would take at least 2 more Ls in either scenario and already be at 5 losses.

Rooting for Creighton over X today

Would also like to see The Hall pick up a road win at Butler

MU will take care of business at WinTrust

Lappas on the X Creighton game on CBS.   Officials called two fouls on both Nunge and Freemantle in the first 7 minutes of play.   Sean Miller a wee bit apoplectic.

Marquettes loss to X looks worse and worse each day

Creighton taking advantage and abusing X at the rim.

Also helpful that Creighton performing well on CBS Broadcast . Good visibility for their cause.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

We really need CU to beat X today. We can beat CU at their place and pick up a game.

[tower912]

Kalkbrenner not even bothering to go out and guard X bigs who don't shoot 3's.     Foreshadowing?

Two boneheaded plays by Schierman.

Umm.... Nunge and Freemantle both shoot threes and at a high percentrage

[tower912]

Ummm, both sitting when I typed that.   

[panda]

Creighton back to showing that top 10 team potential today

[MuggsyB]

Xavier bricking like crazy from distance.

[tower912]

Xavier makes it to halftime without Freemantle or Nunge picking up their third foul.   Maybe they can play defense in the second half as well as running their normal offense.     

Creighton is a tough place to play.

Blue Jays have a strong starting lineup. When they are clicking it is fun to watch.

[MuggsyB]

Bluejays better wake up. 

[Herman Cain]

Fredrick King ,of Blue Jays ,has shown flashes all year. Has a bright future .

[MuggsyB]

They woke up. 

[Herman Cain]

They woke up. 

Blue Jays putting on a clinic now
