Big East 2024 Offseason

[Uncle Rico]

Now 1, :25 left on FS2.  American going to the line

[Uncle Rico]

Hoyas tie it with :06 left on another Epps 3

Game is drunk

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Wow, terrible defense by American on the last shot.

[MuggsyB]

Will Gtown storm the court if they pull this off in OT? 

[Uncle Rico]

Overtime

[Uncle Rico]

Hoyas hold off American in overtime

Johnnies up 9 on Utah at half

[Herman Cain]

Mr. Cooley redeemed himself

[Johnny B]

DePaul is just impossibly bad. Wth

[DoctorV]

Mr. Cooley redeemed himself

Continues his unfathomably elite winning record in close games at a new University

The classic down 10 with 3 mins left but win by 5 in OT so the computers pretty much call it a wash instead of a 20 spot drop in metrics

X is boat racing St marys

The team many thought might take the crown from Gonzaga this year going to have 3 losses already and in major trouble to even get a bid.

Johnnies come through for The Big East with a win over Utah.

Miller can really coach, and really recruit.

He had those guys right there last season and it gave me the feeling that he will be competing for BE titles for years to come.

Not this year, because of all he’s lost, but if he gets this years team in the dance it would be a great performance.

Shaka, Hurley, McDermott, and Miller are an elite top tier of coaches for the conference.
Ed and Rick will really have to work hard to get their teams consistently where the above 4 will be in the near future, not sure if they get there.

The others all have a lot of work to do.
Neptune recruits, but my instinct says he won’t last. Stubblefield should already be out. No idea what’s happening with Matta but right now he no matta.
Kim and Shaheen I’m pretty confident will have long spells barring something unforeseen, I just don’t know that they will ever dip into the upper echelon as long as it’s in place.

Duh Paul gets crushed by San Francisco…

Record?  1 - 4 …

They play NIU next weekend… think they can win that one ?

They are a TOTAL disgrace

What can be done?  I don't think they deserve to be in the BEast.

Will Gtown storm the court if they pull this off in OT? 

Not enough people for that--attendance remains low and especially on a football Sunday. The Redskins/Commanders may be bad, but not bad enough to pay to see American vs. Georgetown.

St. Mary’s has always been a defense-first team that plays slow.  If the defense ain’t getting stops, they’re toast. 

Looking at their schedule, there are a few ok wins in non-con left they can get but if they lose to UNLV, Colorado State and/or Utah, you’d think they’d have to be like 14-2 in league to sniff a bid.

Mahaney’s offensive rating through 5 games is 84.7.  Woof

[Herman Cain]

MU Coaching staff will get a lot out of the tape of the U Conn Texas game

[tower912]

Yeah, UConn could repeat.

I would imagine Disu is back vs MU.

[Shooter McGavin]

Yeah, UConn could repeat.

They do look good. 

[MuggsyB]

They do look good.

Plus Castle is apparently a stud.  Clearly they're good...but Shaka will have us prepared to go at them.

[tower912]

May not matter.

[Shooter McGavin]

UConn dominated nonconference competition last year as well. Undefeated including the tournament. You’re right.  It may not matter.

MU is formidable however. I’m only concerned about MU’s length and athleticism at the wing position.  If Gold and Ross can cobble together an effective hybrid wing presence MU should be dangerous as well.

Meanwhile they're only up 7 vs a depleted Texas.  If they're just better than us down the road?  We'll tip our caps.  But let's withhold judgement until we see how things play out.
