Big East 2024 Offseason

[Herman Cain]

Solid win for X over The Hall

Georgetown showed some fight against U Conn.

Georgetown showed some fight against U Conn.

They finished the game shooting 2 for 16, missed seven second half free throws, and lost by 11.

Hoyas have to learn to play hard for every possession for 40 minutes in this league

MU has to learn the same lesson.

MU has to learn the same lesson.

So does Providence and Villanova and Creighton and St. John’s and Xavier and St. Thomas

Solid win for Nova over The Johnnies . Looks like The Wildcats are gaining some momentum.

Solid post

Kalkbrenner back with 19 points in 29 minutes as Creighton clobbers Butler to snap losing streak.

That will hurt Marquette’s seeding

Win for Creighton helped them move up significantly in NET . Creighton now close to being a Quad  1 win for MU. Hopefully the Blue Jays have a big win over The Blue Demons on Christmas Day

They play hard but they visibly tire late in games. Four of five starters average 34.5 or more minutes per game.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

That will hurt Marquette’s seeding

But will it hurt it as much as the closed-door preseason scrimmages?

[Herman Cain]

Big Romp by The Blue Jays over The Blue Demons. This win by Creighton  should help MU’s cause.

DePaul covered the +15,5 (lost by 15) so it does nothing really.

If anything, it’s just a shame that that was the first BE game on Christmas.

DePaul fans, of which there aren’t many, must be blue blue on this Holiday

All 8 of them will survive.

[PGsHeroes32]

Appears Sanogo got in early foul trouble for UCONN so as a result they went with the only shoot 3s strategy.

20 of their 29 shots from deep.


33-32 over Nova at half.

Will help the Big East cause if Nova can keep it close or even pull off a win

[CountryRoads]

Agreed. I think I’m pulling for Nova and St Johns tonight unless someone can convince me otherwise.

I’m of the opinion that MU can win the conference so it’d be nice to get some losses on these 2-0 teams. Also, some of these big east teams could use a big NET boost.

We can't bite on the constant Nova shot fakes Herman. 

[MuggsyB]

UCONN's two bigs are a Gargantuan problem.   We may have to go medieval a la Baylor.

Nova is playing well. However , U Conn simply has better players .

Nova has almost 20 turnovers, they aren’t playing very well.

Losing by single digits at #2.   Solid.

[MuggsyB]

Losing by single digits at #2.   Solid.

Nova plays a low possession game.  That's not our style so the question is question is can we run with UCONN.  As for beating Nova?  I think we can attack the rim effectively.
