Nova putting an epic whuppin' on the Terrapins.

Nova putting an epic whuppin' on the Terrapins.

We need Nova to sustain this pace the whole game and run the score up as high as possible .

Why?   MU controls their own destiny.

Big East non-con impacts seeding later in the year, just like it does for all conferences  . We want all Big East teams to romp non-con.

Washington Huskies nip X 74-71

Just look at Gonzaga or Houston from the AAC last year

Banner time ...

DePaul covered!

Washington Huskies nip X 74-71

Preseason chatter is this is Washington's HC's swansong. Bad loss for X.

We’re a decade into the new Big East.  It has 3 national champs in a decade.  I’m done cheering for the other programs to be successful.  The league has established itself as one of the premier leagues in the nation.

It’s time to embrace what UConn fan and old Big East schools learned decades ago, embrace hate and mock your rivals.

[El Guerrero 2]

Im afraid this is going to be a four-bid league. The three top dogs and then one of Nova or PC.

My brain can only handle angst and anxiety for one team. I do not care what other teams win or lose.

’atta boy. As I’ve said before, sometimes a little hate…is good!

It makes the league better, imo, too, when the rivalries are real. 

[wadesworld]

Root against UCONN, Creighton, Providence, St. John’s, and Seton Hall. Don’t care much about the rest

[Carl]

Who you root for or care about is completely immaterial to the fact that MU is judged by the quality of its wins and losses.

[The Thing]

So, by that standard would you not want every team in conference (that we will be playing twice) to win as many games as possible unless they are playing MU? I certainly do.

[Carl]

100%

If Marquette takes care of business, it doesn’t matter.

The American was barely better than the WCC last year and Houston was a consensus 1-seed and arguably the best team in the nation.  The only other team in the tournament was Memphis, an 8-seed.

Doesn’t matter anyway.  The Big East is a basketball power conference

[WhiteTrash]

Im afraid this is going to be a four-bid league. The three top dogs and then one of Nova or PC.

That would be surprising.

Hatin' and mockin'. That's what I'm talking about.

In the real world, hating and mocking are terrible traits to develop and must be avoided. But since sports is not real life but rather the candy store of life, hating and mocking is part of the fun ( at least for me).

So how about those Cornhuskers in a big ass-whoopen of Becky tonight in Madison. Let the hatin' and mockin' begin.

Yep.

OK, but by the same token, who you root for or care about is immaterial because it won't affect the outcome of any game.

You can root for DePaul to win so it helps the league by winning, and I can root for Georgetown to win so it helps the league ... and yet even with all of our rooting, those sh!tbag teams figure to do a lot more losing than winning.

[brewcity77]

My second priority is for the Big East to win as much as possible, earn as many bids as possible, and all those teams go as deep as they can.

But Marquette winning is my first priority, and I would take a 1-bid league where we win a natty over 7 bids, 6 Sweet 16 teams, 3 in the F4, and another Big East team winning the title.

[Herman Cain]

The Hall moves to 4-0 with another local cupcake win over Wagner . Will be interesting to see how The Pirates perform against high major competition next week.
