Big East 2024 Offseason

[Herman Cain]

McDermott screwed the Big East

[brewcity77]

Creighton is so incredibly three-reliant. More than half their attempts come from beyond the arc, so when they don't shoot well, they lose. In their 8 wins, they shot 34.5% or better from three, in their two losses they shot 27.6% or worse.

This is McDermott’s faillure every year - they never have a good bench.

Too many players leaving the plantation.

What shocked me most was how well the UNLV big played against Kalk.

One of the more overrated players in college basketball.

I completely agree with this, but am a bit surprised that they don’t run more post ups for Alexander or Scheyerman when it’s obvious the threes aren’t falling.

Solid win for Butler . Game was versus D2 Saginaw Valley so result is not reflected in NET rankings . However, the younger bench players got lots of playing time.

I’ll go ahead and say it. UConn has a better basketball team than we do. They look awesome. We won most the battles last year, they obviously won the war. We have our work cut out for us for the BE titles, glad they separate conferences in the big bracket.

Yea sure

100%. Watching the Gonzaga game, UConn is REALLY GOOD. Inside, outside. Hurley knows it.

Not discrediting UConn but Gonzaga isn’t all that. They have beat literally no one worth even mentioning.

[Tyler COLEk]

There's no question UConn deserves the higher rank and to be slight Big East favorites, even with returning conference champs MU having an impressive start to the season.

[MuggsyB]

Well in fairness it helps if you hit 7-8 from downtown.  Before tonight UCONN had similar 3pt numbers to us.

They don't look great defensively.

When UConn is hitting threes I don't know how you deal with them.

Gonzaga has a bunch of nice players, but no real game changers.

True but MU has the ability to turn them over like we did Kansas.  The question is whether we can find our peak level offensively with all 5 guys on the floor contributing. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Uconn is really good. And like others are saying if they are hitting shots its basically good night. Men against boys this game

But yes, Zags are also overrated as hell. They have been top 12 all year basically and were just 7th ahead of us. They are more like top 20.

They dont have guards. Its Nembhard(inconsistent efficiency) and Hickman. After that, Ive fielded 8 calls from Few asking if I have eligibility.

If Gonzaga doesn’t beat both San Diego State and Kentucky, they don’t deserve an at large bid (assuming this UCONN game continues).

[MuggsyB]

Gonzaga's zone has a few issues.  LOL. 

[FairWeatherEagle]

Will be interesting to see if UCONN has any chinks in the armor before we see them. Playing them so late adds a bit of drama.

[MuggsyB]

UCONN's guards are not great ball handlers.

COLE.

UConn is performing like the best team in the country. MU is performing more like a top five team. I think MU's a legitimate national title contender, with similar odds of winning it all to UConn. None of that is COLE.

Why you being so COLE? I would expect better from you.
