Wagner is #306 in Ken Pom.........

Herman watches Ken Pom like he watches the roofs of the numerous plants he operates in hurricane stricken areas

In other words, he doesn't know what he's talking about

New Mexico is tough.  Hopefully the Johnnies get the W today.  -7.5 seems like a lot to me. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Slick Rick and Johnnies imposing their will on lil Rich and UNM in this first half.

UNM getting some good looks tho so they may be able to go on a run to answer. But getting killed on the glass.

Pitino appears to have successfully recruited a bigger, more athletic team.  For this game, rebounding is the difference.

[MuggsyB]

St. J is a tough cover with their 6'6 attackers. 

[PGsHeroes32]

New Mexico made a game of it but 7/18 at the line is gonna hurt ya.

Johnnies with a nice win

[StillAWarrior]

If he is not successful, the budget is likely to get cut significantly. There's not a line of coaches eager to jump into underfunded programs.

Georgetown's athletic department outside of basketball is surprisingly under-funded. It was surprising to me when my daughter went there. They have had such high visibility for so long, I always assumed their athletics were well funded. Definitely not.

Father Knows best. Excellent win for Johnnies.

Suggestions?

Firing squad for the administration?

[Billy Hoyle]

Villanova makes a very good AD hire - former Nova SA who most recently was at Oregon as their basketball administrator. Neptune's seat gets hotter:

Need a second source, Thamel isn't very reliable.

Excellent win bu Nova in a Big 5 game. Big East needed that.

[Herman Cain]

DePaul smart job of scheduling plenty of winnable non conference  game. Blue Demons improve to 5-0. When NET rankings come out in December they wont be buries in 300s again. Big East will benefit as a result.

Solid win for X . Freemantle continuing to play starter minutes bodes well for their Season.

Siena is 297 in KenPom for anyone following along

I've noticed more cognitive decline from Herm, maybe his spirit time coming to an end.

Solid win for X . Freemantle continuing to play starter minutes bodes well for their Season.

X has several guys who can score, and yes, Freemantle looks invested and healthy thus far. Interesting post-game comments from Sean Miller after the last game about some guys not carrying their weight on D, and that now that they have had a few games to identify that he will not be playing those guys. Will be interesting to see how their minutes shift from what they have been. The way he was talking, I almost expected him to mention Marquette's D from the Purdue game as being what it takes in the Big East.

Unlike some past X teams, they can really shoot from outside. Definitely should be in that top 3-5 in conference. They lack a post-presence on offense, so may be vulnerable on off nights from 3.

None of this should come as a surprise to Xavier. Small mid-major players in the backcourt, bigs that are slow-footed, they will score but Miller recruited the kind of roster that struggles on the defensive end. If they can get into first-to-80 type games, they will have a shot, but if they actually have to get stops, they are going to struggle.

Buffoon Cain thinks they'll be good and his track record is impeccable

[Herman Cain]

Big East off to a decent start from Win Loss perspective. Only Nova and The Hall causing problems for the others with their poor performance. Hopefully those two can rally by the time first NET rankings come out.

[Uncle Rico]

VCU up 28-25 on the Hall at half.  Entirely possible the Hall fails to break 40 in a game this year, looking at you Marquette

[MuggsyB]

The Hall/VCU going down to the wire. 

[Uncle Rico]

St. John's up 15 on the dirty Baylor Bears with 4:49 left in the first half.  Feel bad for Coach Pitino sharing the court with a dirtbag like Scott Drew
