Big East 2024 -25 Results

[Herman Cain]

Johnnies screwed The Big East with that loss. Was a great opportunity to out a quality win on the record and they blew it .

Also screwed MU cause Baylor ranked ahead of us and a Baylor loss would have helped our ranking( assuming we best Bulldogs)

Why are you surprised? Pitino is a well-know screwer.

Rico is mocking Herman.   First day on scoop?

It is Muggsy Tower, he has no understanding of sarcasm.

Not sure if you really mean this or it's just a schtick because you've been doing it for a while? Are you actually Herman Cain doe?

I used to really care about BE results much much more than I do now.
I still watch and root for the conference to win, but don't care anywhere near as much as I used to.
Call it the Shaka effect.

Maybe Marquette's NCAA tourney fate will be affected by 1 seed line at the end of the day (if that), but we are getting accustomed to MU figuring out how to have seasons that control their own destiny with regards to NCAA tourney seeding.

Still want to see more BE teams in rather than less, but just don't care as much.

As an aside- I used to really like Rick Pitino more a few years ago than now for some reason.
I'm OK with the talk of the BE being the defending champs, Marquette, and Creighton and everyone else fights for the middle of the pack lower half seeded tourney bids.

By the looks of things plenty of BE teams scheduled kinda trash OOC schedules and the OOC season is beyond half way thru, so barring something unforeseen we should be looking at
3 bids- UConn, MU, Creighton
2 bubble- StJ and X
Going to take an elite conference run for the others to dance, despite Providence not having a loss yet.

Of course a lot of basketball to play, but I'm not quite sure the conference will be looking at more than 3-5 bids. That's a shame, but it is what it is

I get what you are saying Doc and am tired of Herman's "screwed the BE" schtick, but I want the BE opponents that we defeat to be as good as possible so that they are solid Q1 or Q2 wins. Cellar dwellers like DePaul and Georgetown do not help, but all conferences have cellar dwellers. Now Villanova, Seton Hall and Butler with their embarrassing losses will be of lesser value to Marquette's resume'.

To be clear, I know that you are not writing off the weaker BE teams' poor performances. I guess we disagree as to their importance on Selection Sunday. I think the losses could result in us getting knocked down seed line. Note that I did not say will.

LOL, really??

The St.John's loss could hurt the BEast a bit if they go 0-3 in the Bahamas.  They may not have a marquee game left before BEast play.  It's also a little concerning UVA blew out Nova.  St. John's has solid talent, they threw that game away. 

[Zog from Margo]

Mob type guys?

If you see a ref running funny, he was likely kneecapped for calling a game straight. He won't make that mistake again.

I think Nebraska surpises and beats Creighton tonight.

They just played in a tough game against St. Mary's and have size to throw at Kalkbrenner.

I do not.

[Uncle Rico]

I do not.

Big Least can't afford another troublesome loss

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah put me in the Creighton rolls camp

Would be a very bad loss for the league. Home game, and that Nebraska team is not very good. They are not awful, but I'd be surprised if they make the tourney much less win this game.

Seton Hall's offense looks worse every week.

Their best offensive performance of the season was...yesterday.

[GoldenEagles03]

1st time they scored in the 60s all season...and they are on pace to not get there tonight.

[wadesworld]

Right. So "their offense gets worse every week," yet they got to 60 points for the first time all year...this week.

[Billy Hoyle]

Seton Hall's offense looks worse every week.

And their defense looks even worse getting carved up by a Vandy team picked to finish last in the SEC

[MuggsyB]

Seton Hall's offense looks worse every week.

What an absolute disaster.  Vanderbilt??

Brutal. At they rate it looks like they won't have enough offense to win much more than 5 or so Big East games.

[tower912]

Two more W's for MU.

How long will Shaheen last?

[GoldenEagles03]

How long will Shaheen last?

Probably too long because he played there. I think he is so highly overrated as a coach.

[PGsHeroes32]

How long will Shaheen last?

He's in zero sort of danger. And while I think he's overrated and quite frankly annoying. They are not doing any better than him either.

46 for 118 in these 2 Charleston games ~38%. It isn't getting better.
