Big East 2024 -25 Results

[1SE]

When was the last time MU was the highest ranked team in the BE? With all the UCONN and NOVA dominance has to be a while or ever? The 20-2 Wojo miracle? The amigos? Anyway, new Shaka achievement unlocked

Edit - the 2019 season - March 11 poll MU highest at 23rd - man that was a down BE year.. 

Edit - woops - I guess with the past two years I was just thinking about UCONN's titles - clearly March results/April stick in my head much more than the regular season!

Last year

I believe the answer is last year...but even if you forgot about that...didn't we just win dual Big East Titles or am I imagining that?

Mahaney seems like a total bust for UCONN. I saw one of his games up close in Vegas last year and came away unimpressed. He belongs at the mid major level. Think they were expecting a lot more from him.

Dude.

Weve been highest ranked team in the BE each of the last two years. Last year early when we were in Maui and before Uconn flat out stopped losing

But how in God's name could you forget 2 years ago. You know when we ran away and hide with the BE title. Then won the BET. While Uconn at one point lost 6 games in a row.

We were the highest ranked BE team for like 8 weeks in a row I'm guessing

Its been bizarre ever since he announced he was transferring. Immediately became a hugely hyped transfer when anyone who watched him should clear see quality mid major player but very tweener. Good not great shooter. Not small but not a big guard either. Can handle the ball but not a dominant play maker.

Uconn gets him and everyone goes nuts(Yes I get it Hurley factor helps). But by late summer/early fall the buzz basically plummeted. There's been heavy speculation long before the season actually started that he was not looking good and wasn't even guranteed to start.

Now the season starts and he looks even worse than that.

I still don't doubt Hurley. But I'm thinking its much more likely Uconn rights the ship because of other guys not Mahaney.

UCONN getting pounded on the boards. I recall rebounding as a strength of UCONN last year.

[MurphysTillClose]

Mahaney still sucks

No Clingan

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Big East - woof.

[CountryRoads]

Yep agree. It's been a tough 72 hours for them, but they will right the ship and be a tougher out by season's end. Not even close to contending for a three peat though...and that's ok considering all they lost the last 2 years.

PS: @dayton looks like a tough one

UCONN can now call this week the Maui Massacre.

Ooofff - yeah, clearly the titles stick in the front of my head more than the in-season results - does really point to our March struggles to some extent!

[Tyler COLEk]

Nobody frets about Big East results more than the Scoop, but this truly has been a hideous non-conference slate for every contender but MUBB (and STJ, who's been OK).

UConn hanging on as the +145 favorite to win the conference is delusional at this point. They may well win it, but they should be a marginal favorite at absolute best. Logically, MUBB should be the favorite, STJ a close second, and UConn a bit further behind at third.

I think MU is showing the early season benefit of having a team full of players who have spent their entire college careers in the program.

The teams that are relying heavily on transfers and freshmen are going to take longer to gel.

[NotAnAlum]

When was the last time a BE team finished last in the Maui Tournament. OMG that's embarrassing. Wouldn't want to be on that plane ride home.

[Herman Cain]

Last night's win over Huskies should be a confidence for Flyers. MU will have a tough road game in Dayton. An opportunity to keep building resume though.

Marquette is 6th in the nation in holding opponents to 31.2% from the field

You might want to read that tweet a little closer.

Marquette is, but the Marquette men's basketball team most certainly is not holding opponents to 31.2% from the field.

UConn = Chaminade

[Billy Hoyle]

it's amazing how UConn's defense is significantly worse this season without a 7-2 monster patrolling the paint.

Soooo this. This is why the off-season portal stuff is so dumb.  Everyone was also talking about IU winning the portal wars.  You can't just drop in a guy from a mid-major into a prominent role on a top 10 team and expect business as usual.

Now the season starts and he looks even worse than that.

I still don't doubt Hurley. But I'm thinking its much more likely Uconn rights the ship because of other guys not Mahaney.

The Dence getting stuffed by Davidson early

[Apolitical Warrior]

What the f guys

[PGsHeroes32]

Providence with a fantastic showing for the league

[Billy Hoyle]

Butler with a nice win over Northwestern out in Arizona. Telfort is a stud for them.  Two big ones coming up for them, @Houston and Bucky at the Pacers arena.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Butler did everything they could to give away the game to Northwestern who refused to accept the gift.
