Big Game tonight For MU. Must win game to keep enhanced seeding hopes alive.

Expecting a spirited performance from The Bulldogs

Need to come out strong and sustained .

A good start for MU will be big tonight. Interest has definitely waned at Butler after early season optimism. They will get fired up if, like last year, they hit some early shots and sense a possible upset. Contrarily, if we can jump on them early I expect it could be a fairly quiet Hinkle as the here we go again feeling sets in. Take care of business game for MU for sure where you don't want to give them reason for optimism.

C'mon Nova.

Probably woulda been more ideal for 1 team to boat race the other.

Get one of them into Q1.

Now they both probably just stay put haha.

I'm wondering if the committee looks at their last few weeks and Moore returning? I would like to see them sneak in.

Huge game tomorrow night

Winner of X/Prov officially gets blah SHU. Loser gets streaking threat Nova.

Huge swing.

Also,

Saying "Nova wont win the BE tournament" isnt really going out on a limb considering 1. they finished 6th 2. There are 5 other really, really good teams in this league and 3. Taking the field is never bold.

But, I gotta say without how often every talking head the last two weeks keeps acting like they are being bold taking Nova to win the BET(when in reality every single one of them are saying it).

Has me thinking they might face plant right off the bat.

Honestly hope not though, would like a 6th team to get in.,

Yep I think Villanova is getting too much hype going into the BET and that’s not as favorable as going under the radar.

Marquette fans want them in the top 75, so hopefully they win on Saturday and game 1 in the tournament, but I’d be surprised if they steal a bid.

The Big East is too strong at the top they would have to go thru a gauntlet

X at Cooley & Company should be a rock fight tonight .

Both squads trying to put some respect on their name for seeding purposes

Nova won't win the BET, but they're good enough that had they been healthy all season they'd be right up there with the other top 5 teams in the BE. When they go down, it'll be a tight game against a good team.

fjm · « **Reply #2284 on:** March 01, 2023, 10:33:58 AM »

My confusion is people on scoop and MUBB twitter bashing nova saying they are not that good.

They just beat creighton and X. By similar or larger margins than we won. Sooo are these people saying we are not that good either then after beating creighton and X?

After Georgetown a couple years ago I'm never saying any team "won't win the BET" again.

Villanova spun their wheels for most of the season. Now they are healthy with adequate PG play. They are now scary.

Yep. Glad we played them in Milwaukee before Moore got back into his game. Visiting UCONN may have their hands full this Saturday.

Nova was 22-23 from the line yesterday to close out Seton Hall - damn impressive.

Xavier at Providence tonight in a game that will likely decide the 2 and 3 seeds and then possibly the difference between facing Villanova or Seton Hall next Thursday. NCAA seeding could be affected too.

How awesome is it to be able to enjoy the next three days of college basketball knowing we are already the Big East champs!

Uncle Rico · « **Reply #2291 on:** March 01, 2023, 05:50:08 PM »

X ponding the Dence in the Prov.

Herman Cain · « **Reply #2292 on:** March 01, 2023, 06:08:44 PM »

Surprised that Cooley & Company laying an Egg at The AMP.

Rooting for X though as I would like our victory over them to be seen in a positive light .

Skatastrophy · « **Reply #2293 on:** March 01, 2023, 06:30:04 PM »

9 point game at half. X has no depth, and a lot of foul trouble. Shaping up to be an interesting second half.

wisblue · « **Reply #2294 on:** March 01, 2023, 06:30:27 PM »

That tightened up pretty quickly and X is in foul trouble with their short bench.

UConn is off to a quick 29-2 lead over DePaul.

Who do we want to win this game?

X 100%.

So there is no chance we lose our Q1 win

And because frankly Cooley and Prov are insufferable.

Per usual at home they were in double bonus while only having 6 fouls themselves. Cooley and every player still bit ched at every single call. Got T'd up. Its annoying.

7-1 fouls second half in Prov. I’ve never seen such a differential consistently. Are there stats for this?
