Big East 2024 -25 Results

A split with St. John's for Marquette, would make record against UConn as the next tiebreaker.

Yes, but if both teams win out, which was my premise, that would be tied too.

[FairWeatherEagle]

As far as the tiebreaker goes I think it's only for seeding purposes. BE has cochamps.

And if somehow we win out and STJ loses to UC (BIG IF), all our records would be 1-1 vs each other and UC, so the next comparison would be to the next highest in the standings...looks to be X and NOVA which we and STJ have our one-off loses....so as wisblue pointed out CR would have the upper hand....but seeding in the BET is pretty moot with 4 good teams I think.

No. Seeding is huge. Would much rather be in 2/3 side with CU and have 1/4 be StJ and UCONN. for game playing purposes but also Thursday game time (night vs afternoon). #pray

Seeding is huge. I want to stay out of the 4/5 game, which will be against Xavier.

I just couldn't root for Creighton, and I found myself admiring how hard St. John's competes.

Perhaps MU fans lamenting our missed 3s noticed that Ashworth missed several wide-open looks down the stretch?

Given how our first matchup with the Johnnies turned out, we definitely can beat them at home in the regular-season finale. Lots of work to do before then, though - this is a big week.

Agree with others about seeding for the BET: 2 or 3 is the place to be.

I was rooting for St. John's all the way.  Creighton's remaining 5 games should be W's while St. John's still has to play UConn and MU.  So our best shot is to win out and have UConn beat St. John's, leaving a 3-way tie for 1st.

For the sake of the record books, a tie is as good as an outright championship. The trophy is the same, the banner looks the same. Though, I'd prefer if they just awarded one champion a year using some kind of tiebreaker. Otherwise, there is that silly hypothetical where every team could get a trophy/banner if they all finished 10-10.

Right, that's silly, we know DePaul will never be able to win 10 BE games (they never have before).

Hell, in their non-independent days, they only got to 10+ wins in conference (CUSA) 3 times.

Xavier might trip up Creighton, but I agree that they have a fairly easy path to running the  table with the caveat that weird things happen, like Georgetown's 81-57 hosing of Creighton earlier in the season and Seton Hall's W over UCONN.

To me, the best part of the winning out is at least a 4 seed in the NCAA. A shared title is nice, but being one of 2 or 3 teams takes a bit off of the title.

[MU82]

I join the chorus of those saying they'd strongly prefer that Marquette wins out ... all the way through April 7.

They attack the basket and hit the boards. Those things are going to draw fouls.

Especially at home in front of a rabid crowd. 

[Shaka Shart]

no, it is a conspiracy

[willie warrior]

Interesting foul statistics.

Villanova up 8 at HT on the road at UConn.
Huskies looking all kinds of out of sorts.

Hurleys got some work tah do

Of course Solo Ball missed 3 fairly wide open 3s in the 5 minutes I watched

Was just about to post that regarding Ball. Would have been nice to see that in Milwaukee.

We might have ptsd and every 3P shot that leaves his hands feels like it should be in

Figures.  But we want Nova to punk them regardless.

UConn / Hurley sux

[tower912]

That is what Hurley gets for going to the portal and signing 1 and Jones.

Probably allows mid range jumpers, too.

What does UConn Scoop Willie calls him?

I was at the game in Milwaukee so I definitely do.

Brew question-

If UConn loses tonight and again @StJ Sunday should they start feeling some heat when it comes to locking a bid?

You've got them on the 9 line so I'd assume they just have to avoid disaster, meaning something like 3 more wins total should do it?
