[DFW HOYA]

Final:
Creighton 77
Georgetown 60

15,620 empty seats in downtown Washington DC saw Creighton shoot 13 for 17 to open the second half. Good seats available for Saturday's matchup with DePaul.

This Butler/SJU game could have massive Big East implications as the season develops.

Soriano is my least favorite player in the BE. Go Butler.

[MuggsyB]

I'm cool with that.  Soriano bothers me as well. 

[El Guerrero 2]

Watching this SJU-Butler game, I'm much more concerned by RJ Luis than I am by Soriano. That kid can ball. They're missing a top flight PG, but SJU can beat anyone in the league any given night.

[wadesworld]

It will because both of them have a shot to dance, but it is probably unlikely that they both do.

Might only be room for one of them.

That's not how it works. Game 3 of the Big East season isn't a win and in, lose and go home.

No chit.

But they'll both be bubbling all season and that could be the difference one way or they other.

Sorry. When you said game 3 had massive implications and that there's only going to be room for one of the two teams and not both, sitting here on January 2, I took it as you stated it. If that's not how you intended it, I apologize.

[Herman Cain]

Excellent win for The Johnnies

That trip to St. Johns won't be fun. They're not great, but they have some dudes. MU should handle their pressure far better than Butler did.

[Silkk the Shaka]

UConn eking it out against DePaul.

🤣 but seriously that is pathetic even by their standards. Stubbs has GOT to go

I just meant it as in the Big East looks like a 5 bid league and one of those teams will need to separate to make a 6th. Very bubbly. St. Johns looked very clearly better than Butler IMO. Didn't seem like the home court was the difference, just felt like the Johnnie's were better.

But he loves manatees.

Humans, not so much

Yeah, I'm not buying Butler bubbling all season. Losing at StJ ain't getting them in - they need a few against the big dawgs (eg next two are big for then).

But the reality is Posh is a guy who can't shoot but racks up turnovers. Gross

Again, that's not how it works.  There aren't a certain number of bids allocated to each conference.

There's not, but teams play each other twice in this league and only 1 team can win each game. It's going to come down to a few games for both teams and these games can be deciding factors on a resume.

In the 17 calendar days from 12/20 to 1/5, Marquette played just two games.

It may just be me wanting more basketball, but that seems unusual, no?

[Carl]

Seems to be on the longer end of the spectrum but a slow holiday season isn't unusual. I'm itching for more bball too

Having a week between games this early in the conference season is unusual.

[mug644]

I agree. And yet, as of right now, Marquette is the only BEast team to have played three conference games.

I don't understand why we get a bye week one.  Stick DePaul with ill-timed bye week.

It gives dodds an "insightful excuse" in the case that we slip up on Saturday

I'll be there.

Creighton played Nova on 12/21 then MU on 12/30; 9 days between games.
