Uh-Huh.  Just like he did last year when we unloaded on his team mercilessly at Fiserv?

Muggsy Muggsy Muggsy get with the program.

The BE should force the issue. I think PC has an unfair advantage since they have far more experience in playing on that (expletives deleted) court. I would be in favor of the BE bailing PC out of whatever is left on their lease obligations, but telling them, not asking them, that BE games cannot be played there. Unlikely to happen and I do not know if the BE has the legal authority to do that. Just venting.

There'd have to be an alternative location, and there just isnt.  Providence isn't a big enough city to need two arenas over 10k in capacity.  The next best alternative would be to rent space from URI, but I can't see that happening (except maybe as a 1-year construction stop gap).

We're stuck with the Dunk.

Yeah, I know. That's why I added "just venting" at the end. They do have an alternative if you count their on-campus facility, but that's so obviously not a comparable alternative. I have absolutely no problem with a team having a phenomenal home court record (25-1) but not the part where (I believe) they have an advantage due to a crappy court that they have adjusted to.

Do we want UCONN and Prov in these two games?

[MuggsyB]

Donny Marshall just stated that Creighton has one of the top 3/4 coaches in America.

Do we want UCONN and Prov in these two games?

I think we want the teams we beat Creighton and The Johnnies to win.

On the other hand probably better for the league overall if U Conn and Cooley & Company win

Johnnies up at halftime over Cooley & Company

U Conn solid in control at half over Creighton

I just can't ever pull for PC after the hose job we took there.

I hope they play hard and have fun.

Do we want UCONN and Prov in these two games?

It doesn't really matter, we want teams to qualify at the back end of quadrants for seeding. Personally until Marquette drops 3+ games, I like seeing PC and UConn lose because it makes me feel like we can win the league.

Creighton winning probably helps them stay Q1.

St. John's has a long way to go to q1.

Johnnies giving PC everything they can handle.

Curbelo playing today.   His penance must be served.

Bynum out with an abdominal strain.   When it happened against UConn, I thought he was moving like he cracked a rib.    Oops.   Abdominal strains can linger. 

[MuggsyB]

It looks like Prov will hold on.

It looks like Prov will hold on.

Some kind of horseshoe or clover up there.

Didn't see Creighton-UConn game, but looking at stats it appears Sanogo dominated Kalkbrenner.

Kalkbrenner looked pretty intimidated today.

Kalkbrenner looked pretty intimidated today.

Imagine how Oso will look 🫣

[Herman Cain]

Cooley & Company keeps on winning.

U Conn getting back to feeding the Big Fella worked out.

Rooting for a Nova win against X.

Will be interesting to see what Butler can bring against The Hall.

[tower912]

Dixon wearing a jersey that is not his number and does not have his name on it.  Did he do a Hulk to his regular jersey?

[MuggsyB]

Nova not looking good right now.

Blood stained, so he changed. None of that sissy ACC style ball in the BE.

[Herman Cain]

Solid road win for X over an improving Nova

Solid road win for X over an improving Nova

Villanova looked terrible today

Didn't see Creighton-UConn game, but looking at stats it appears Sanogo dominated Kalkbrenner.

Had his way with Kalkbrenner.  Every time he received a good entry pass, he patiently backed K down, went left, right and back again, and dropped a 6 footer over him. Very impressive.  Plan was evident that there would be no help D, and Sanogo took advantage. 

As to someone else's comment on Oso, I think MU will mix up the D, with Oso getting help a fair amount of the time - and he'll probably front him too, with backside help, and I don't think Kalkbrenner ever fronted him. Also will need some good minutes from Gold vs Clingan

[tower912]

Thad seriously madda right now.  Mike Deane-esque with the time outs right now.




First half:  Seton Hall pushing the ball and attacking.   Butler standing still.

[zcg2013]

Not looking ahead past UConn, but biggest X-factor for the Xavier game will be Freemantle. Hit massive 3s at the end of the game. I kinda hope Oso guards Freemantle and Omax on Nunge since Nunge steps out and shoots so well.
