Big East 2024 -25 Results

[FairWeatherEagle]

I'm liking the big east now. I know with every BE win there's a BE loss. BUT we're talking about a top 5 taking shape not just a top 2. MU and UCONN still the class but it's bad to just have two elite teams and a bunch of zombies that eat each other. GT,NOVA,STJ showing up. I want 5 BE in tourney.

I still think
1. we win next 5
2. go 2/3 UC,@STJ, @CR.
3. win 4 more
4. go 2/3 @GT, @UC, STJ. 

=18-2 BE

I don't think Marquette wins 7 conference games this year

Like exactly 7? Me neither.

[mileskishnish72]

Yeah,  there'll be losses, every night will be a battle, etc. I'll sleep just a bit better tonight with a UConn loss in the books.

 I know with every BE win there's a BE loss.


I need to figure out how to make this my tagline.

Try "signature".  Or even "Personal text" if you're feeling frisky.

Yeah, Unk, it's lucky for the rest of the teams on our schedule that they don't have to play Marquette.

I hear Marquette is pretty good ... but after reading Scoop, I realize that might not be true.

It may, or may not be true.  But I still put $10 on em at +10000 for a NC.  There was big betting thread before last season (I didn't put $ on them last year).

What a spectacular choke job that was by Karaban!!

Brick 3 ... gets another chance and gets blocked ... gets another chance and gets blocked again but he's bailed out by a terrible call ... bricks BOTH free throws.

We might not see a bigger choke in the Big East this season.

You watching on delay tonight?  It was an incredible, terrible, incredible, wtf ending no matter which side you were rooting for.  The timeout with 2 seconds by Nova was mind boggling.

Yes, all of that's true.

As is that UConn's star choked like a dog.

DePaul kicking one away in Jersey

I stopped paying attention to that one when DePaul led by 18 in the second half.

Thank you to all of the Captain Obvious "there will be losses" and Chicken Little comments.

But they all miss the real point of my comment. That is that this year's Marquette conference schedule is exceptionally unbalanced between the first 10 games and the last 10 games.

If you listed the expected difficulty of the 20 conference games from 1 to 20, there are probably about 7 of the most difficult games packed into the second half of the schedule.

Posters made the connection between tougher games and possible losses.

It's a good thing our coach and our team are tougher than some of our fans, because Scoopers get upset and/or worry about the most mundane things.

Seven of our toughest conference games will be in the second half of the BE schedule? Oh no!!

Your posts would be more well received if they weren't always negative or "realistic". I have a habit of just reading posts without looking at the poster and trying to guess who it is. I'm about a 100% on you. Granted, it's a pretty easy game. People are remarkably consistent in their posts.

I don't like it when people who are negative are automatically accused of not being fans. Some fans just are like that. It's not right or wrong. Be a fan anyway you want. But you have kind of become the board Eeyore and you'd be a little naive not to expect push back from fans that are more positive.

But hey, you do you. It's a free country. Just expect resistance.

Yes, all of that's true.

As is that UConn's star choked like a dog.

Saw on twitter he had never missed consecutive free throws in 151 attempts. Tough time for the first. That was shocking, but appropriate, because that sure looked like a clean block leading to the free throws.

Nova's time out when they had a clear path to run out the clock could have cost them. That would have been a Chicago Bears level clock mismanagement had Karaban's last heave gone in.

And MU's opponents for those games know they have a tall challenge on their schedule for that game.

MU's growth going forward will be with its bench.  There will be games where a bench player or two will take that next step.

anybody know who called that timeout?  Was a weird choice to say the least.

That was one of the worst timeouts I've ever seen. It's like Wojo not knowing the score of the Butler game. Which makes sense cuz Wojo and Neptune are the exact same

Love that Villanova took down Hurley/UConn. Hope this is the year that UConn loses a lot (although not likely) Hats off to Villanova. maybe Hurley is starting to wonder why he did not take the Lakers job and hang out with LaBum.

=18-2 BE

I hope you're right, but this seems almost certain to be setting yourself up to be disappointed.  Since the new BE was formed, only 4 teams have had 2 or fewer (and none actually had fewer) losses in the BE.  The first 3 were Villanova in the first 3 seasons of the NBE, when there were only 18 conference games.

On top of that, UCONN was one of the more dominant teams in recent college basketball memory, and they went 18-2 in conference last year.  UCONN won the national title 2 years ago after going 13-7 in the BE.  Villanova went to the Final Four in 2022 after going 16-4 in the BE.  Villanova won the national title after going 14-4 in the BE in 2018.  Villanova won the national title after going 16-2 in the BE.

We've already had battles at home with Butler, Creighton, and Georgetown, and needed to barely hold on on the road against Xavier.  We're a very good team, but not a historically good team.  We're going to take losses in the BE.

LeBron?  The goat?

[tower912]

He didn't mess with happy.  And Mrs. Hurley is part of happy.

My take is Hurley is waiting for a NE job to open up. Nets, 76ers etc. Then he takes the NBA job.

You could be right. He has nothing to prove anymore as a college coach
