Ed Cooley. Overrated as fu ck

Sorber is out, so apparently that means play Fielder all game in foul trouble

Fouls out with 15:37 left. LOL. Not a typo.

Whoops.

Nova hasn't scored in 6.5 minutes vs Hall

They went 12/15 from 3 in 1st half vs us

[tower912]

Ergo, SHU is far better than MU.   Weird stuff happens sometimes.

33-21 at half. Biggest halftime lead all year in BE play for the Pirates

But will they hold on?

Gonna live dangerously here and say...no.

Bold prediction.

St. John's 34-30 at Butler (CBSSN)

Creighton 36-32 over DePaul (Peacock)

The Hall is beginning to collapse.

[Oldgym]

Nova on a 15-0 run, less because they're good and more because Hall hasn't scored since the Ford administration.

Had brief hopes for a Nova loss that would guarantee MU a first round bye in the BET.

A 22-4 run says that will have to wait for another day.

You called it correctly.

Orrrr.....

Seton Hall had 6 points in 17 minutes, then scored 6 in 30 seconds to pull within 1.

Meanwhile, Butler hanging with the Johnnies. 56-56 at the under 8.

Butler looks cooked.  Playing spastic/idiotic hoops down the stretch. 

[MU82]

So the same St. John's team that Scooprognosticators say will crush Marquette at Fiserv on the last day of the season barely beat the juggernaut that is Butler. We have no chance to win. Zero.

He's a PF playing fourth string center. The backup center was lost for the season with a foot injury, too. The potential third stringer, a project, was redshirted.

All three Georgetown centers are freshmen after Supreme Cook left for NIL at Oregon and Ryan Mutombo graduated early and returned home to Atlanta at Georgia Tech.

Does a Nova BET Finals appearance (21-13) give them any chance (because presumably that means another win over us, STJ or UCONN) or are those losses so bad that they have to cut down the nets?

My guess would be that they have to get the auto bid.

BE hoops related. DePaul's new facility was delayed due to Chicago bureaucracy:

DePaul's proposed $60M basketball athletic facility has been delayed by at least a year after the project failed to secure a spot on the city's agenda for zoning approval. The earliest the Blue Demons would be able to break ground on the proposed new facility would now be June 2026. President Robert Manuel: "While we had originally hoped to begin demolition and construction this summer, the City of Chicago has added additional requirements, which we are happy to complete but do extend our timeline." School officials say the delay will allow them more time to finalize zoning approvals and secure additional funding for the facility. So far, the university has raised $11M for the project.

Butler did a nice job controlling the pace of the game at the offensive end. On D, putting Screen in the middle took away the ability for clean looks on drives inside and the 5-inch height advantage on Zuby affected his ability to shoot over him on post ups. This is the second time Butler has played SJU close.

The biggest problem is in the last sentence of that release.

Tomorrow's slate of conference games will go a long way toward determining MU's seed in the BET.

At this point, MU could land anywhere between 2 and 6.

The possibility of MU falling to the 6 seed, and having to play DePaul or Seton Hall on Wednesday, could be removed tomorrow if MU wins at GU, Xavier loses to Creighton, or Villanova loses to Butler.

MU's chances of getting to the 2 seed are pretty slim, and would be all but gone if MU loses to GU or Creighton beats Xavier tomorrow . Creighton would win any tiebreaker against MU.

To get the 3 seed, MU probably has to beat UConn because a loss there would give UConn the tiebreaker. MU's chances to get the 3 would get a boost if PC could knock off UConn tomorrow.

If MU can't get the 3 seed, and doesn't fall to the 6, it doesn't make that much difference if they get the 4 or 5. Either way their first BET game would be Thursday afternoon against either Xavier or Villanova with the winner likely facing SJU in the semis.. If Xavier loses to Creighton tomorrow, Villanova would have the inside track for the 5 seed.
