Solid road win for The Blue Jays

Johnnies building a lead on The Hall midway through second half

Hopefully The Hall can rally and get the road win

[Herman Cain]

The Hall has a big rally and wins by 12 on the road against The Johnnies .

Definitely Helps the MU cause

Beginning to think St. John’s won’t make the NIT

UConn, 12 games in,  is sixth.  Who would have thought that after their non-con?  This is reminding me of that Natl Champ team that went 9-9 in a brutal BE,  and was undefeated against all non-BE competition for the season.

Not saying they win a Natty,  but would not be surprised by a BET title, and an Elite Eight.

[PGsHeroes32]

Hall continues to be the clear "best of the rest"

They are winless vs the top 4.

1-0 against Uconn

6-0 against the NIT/CBI teams.

The two marquee games in the conference last night were outstanding. So many things to love about the conference and the true round robin format. The fact that there has been a true fight to win the conference the past two years only makes things better. Kudos to Nova for the stranglehold they had for years, but it is so much more exciting with multiple teams in the mix. Obviously more fun when MU is one of those teams, but even if not, it makes for great viewing and drama from a fan perspective. Have to love the Big East.

The Big East tournament is gonna be fantastic.

The dumbest thing St John’s did was taking Curabello from the portal.  Last nite was the second time he got kicked out of a game.

I think its safe to say hes directly responsible to the massive step back for Posh this year too

Posh is now a poor man's Stevie Mitchell

Agree. Heck of a talent but his downside outweighs the flashes of huge upside. He was a great contributor to MU's win over #7 ranked IL last year.

Was thinking the same thing. I'm ever grateful for his contributions against us last season!!

Looking forward to the Nova at Creighton game tonight . Will be interesting to see how The Wildcats respond after their loss to MU.

I really like Villanova in that game.

[Skatastrophy]

I really like Villanova in that game.

Nova just isn't playing like Nova this year. I find it hard to root for them. And Creighton has been playing so well.

Where do you see the cracks?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

I really like Villanova in that game.

Bold.

Why?

[tower912]

It has been noted nationally, so I will just pile on.   If Nova had one of their good/great PG's, or even a TKo type, they would be the type of Nova team we are used to seeing.   They don't, so they aren't.

[Herman Cain]

Hoyas making a game of it in first half versus Huskies

[DoctorV]

Bold.

Why?

Just a feeling.
Logic says that’s probably off, but the talent is obviously there on that Nova side and they played with heart for a big portion of their game against MU.

There is pride in that locker room and they just need to put it all together.
They’ve been close a lot and are due for a breakthrough.

Creighton is good, really good at home, but Nova plays at a slow pace and is organized, doesn’t turn it over much.


The spread just seems too large imo, but I can also see Villanova pulling off the upset.

Would also help if they had a HOF coach on the sidelines instead of some nobody.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Gtown only down 3.

[tower912]

Probably.    Of course, that HOF coach ran off his HS all-American PG a couple of years ago.    And never really recruited an adequate replacement.   

[Herman Cain]

Hoyas showing some life in recent games. A team that needs to be taken seriously.
