Big East 2024 Offseason

[MuggsyB]

42-33 Nebraska over Creighton at the Under 8 timeout.

Damnit.  What a horrible weekend of basketball.

THIRTY THREE...

Beyond Brutal.

big least is bad. a finish under 5th would be disapointing. looks like uconn is going to carry the confrence going forward. who knows what happens with nova. i think they fall off a bit. hope uconn doesnt leave or the big east may be the atlantic ten with sugar on top.

[MuggsyB]

This would truly be an embarrassing loss for Crieghton in their building. 

[MuggsyB]

Creighton clearly not ready to play today. 

[GoldenEagles03]

They really are going to do it.

Creighton gonna post a fat home L to Nebraska.  This is clearly UConn's league.

[brewcity77]

Creighton is looking to emulate the blue bloods. They saw UNC get to #1 and proceed to lose four straight, so when they got into the top-10 at #7, they promptly lost 3 in a row. Going for the fourth straight loss against BYU on Saturday.

The Big East is terrible.

Mid major

[Newsdreams]

Not an upset, just a good team (ISU) playing a bad team (SJU) and the good team won.

This is the classic Mike Anderson St. John's team that will have a great (9-2 or 10-1) non-con record then fall flat on their face in conference play. So far, he's 33-7 (26-1 in home buy games) in non-con and 23-33 in conference play.

If the over/under on Big East wins for St. John's is 8.5, my money would be on the under.

Not saying otherwise, just saying even favored teams come on empty there a lot. They call it Hilton magic, the student body shows up for both football and basketball.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton with an embarrassing loss. This definitely does not help the Big East Cause.

Mid major

Again, the team that was like 50th in KenPom last year and added a mid major transfer not being a top 5 team is surprising to nobody who pays attention.

The Big East is fine.  When your down year is 10/11 teams in the top 100 and 6/11 teams in the top 50, you're doing okay.

Mid major BE sucks!

Creighton shot 40 3s, made 10. Too many taken, too few made.

[Billy Hoyle]

Well, we can end the “Power 6” delusion.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The Big East is terrible.

I thought there were fewer freebie wins in the Big East this season?

[wadesworld]

Let me know when the Big East finishes below the 5th best conference in the country.

[GoldenEagles03]

I thought there were fewer freebie wins in the Big East this season?

There are because the whole league is down.

It is UCONN and maybe Creighton at the top, some slop in the middle and Georgetown at the bottom.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Well, we can end the “Power 6” delusion.

We're currently ranked ahead of the Pac 12 and ACC. So are we kicking them out of the Power 6 too?

Since the league reformed, we've been the worst conference in the Power 6 once. Most years we are one of the top 3 (though usually third and never first).

Uh huh. Marquette is up 40 spots in Kenpom from what they were last season (and for those who don't like KenPom is playing much better than they did last season no matter what metric or eye test you use). So better Marquette + worse Big East = more or less freebies in conference for Marquette?

No worse than rooting for an EFL team, aina?

If only KenPom through 9 games guaranteed conference results.

It doesn't, but just shows that you have no basis for your assertions you are just moping to set up a win win situation for yourself. Either your team makes the NCAAT or you get to crow about how you were right. Be brave, take away the safety net.

And to be clear, it's fine to think this team won't make the postseason. But you predicting losses for every game (or close hard fought wins against cupcakes) plus takes such as Wisconsin being better than Baylor, the flip flopping, and the assertion that there are less freebies for Marquette this season while simultaneously saying the Big East is terrible....it's hard to take it seriously.

The only win for me is Marquette being good.

I get nothing from anything else.

I don't believe you given your attempts to crow about Radford and Wisconsin already.
