Excellent win for The Hall. Helps MU Cause.

Not as confident on this one as I was on Villanova but I have a feeling StJ could go the way of Nova in the next stretch of games.

Rick Pitino is galaxies beyond Villanovas coach, and I'd be more confident if Anderson was still there, but I don't like what I see for the Johnnies.

@X, Marquette, and Providence and v UConn, SH, Creighton in the next 8 (2 gimmes)

Knowing Rick he will find a way to beat UConn on Sat or make our lives difficult next Sat, but a big "trap" game in Cincy tomorrow and they've lost 3 of the last 4 going into it.

Don't be fully floored if they are the next BE team that drops to bubble territory in the next month.
Only 5-4 currently so losing 5 of the next 8 would be no bueno for them.

DePaul was really DePauling tonight. Live ball just threw it out of bounds to the ref.

Man...

I think they could just as easily find themselves moving up to the 4/5 range. Their toughest games are at home, where since the bizarre Michigan debacle their only loss is by 1-point to us in a game they could've won at the buzzer. They only have one road game against the top of the league (NMD) and they've got Pitino. I have a lot more faith in them than Neptune.

And that blowout was on their home court. It is going to take a ton of NIL $ to get halfway decent players to sign up at DP once a new coach is on board.

We want St.J over X?  Correct?

[PGsHeroes32]

X is not a great team overall.

But they got 3 great guards which makes them formidable game to game.

[tower912]

X wins at home.

UCONN looks really flat so far tonight. 

[Uncle Rico]

UCONN looks really flat so far tonight.

Could be diarrhea

[tower912]

Ugly game.  Huge foul disparity.

[Herman Cain]

Excellent win for X

Missed opportunity to pick up quality win for The Johnnies

[El Guerrero 2]

UConn looked very beatable tonight. If PC had made even 60% of their FTs I think they steal it. Oduro is a monster.

They had a dud performance but found a way to win. 

[mu_eyeballs]

Staff issues earlier in the evening meant I really wanted a distraction.  But what a horrible game to watch...there is such a thing as too many fouls.  And Donny Marshall should not call UConn games...just a touch of bias.

Yep. There is no unstoppable juggernaut in college basketball this season, including UConn and Purdue. Numerous very good teams having very good nights can beat either.

It's not easy to do so. It's not supposed to be. But it's not some impossible dream.

When they lose on Saturday it'll be 5 of their last 6.

Then they travel to Marquette, Providence, Butler and host SH and Creighton outside of GTown and DePaul (4 left)

Seem like a play in game type of squad to me unless they can knock off UConn, Marquette or Creighton.
Don't really have any big wins, 2-6 in Q1 with best win on a neutral court over Utah.

Overall, the BE is starting to look like a 4 or 5 max bid league again.

Unless DePaul and Georgetown win about 4 games each the rest of the way

There is a better chance that I start at SG for Northern Illinois in the FF this year than the BE getting only 4 bids.

Only getting 5 is even a very, very slim chance.

Agreed..... was listening for awhile and after several homer comments I said ohhhh yeah thats Donny Marshall doing the UCONN game. Drooling over Hurley and players all game.

Kind of depends on how the "bubble" teams of StJ, Providence, SH, X, Butler do against UConn, Creighton, and Marquette.

Many have 6-7 Q1 games left, most against the 3 front runners. They will also canibalize each other some.

So, I know conference record no matta, but a .500 or sub .500 BE team is gonna have a heckuva time getting in, especially in a season with pretty much 4 guaranteed wins.

It'll work itself out, and the team(s) that beats those top 3 will slide in, but plenty of work to do for them all, even StJ.

5 is way more likely than 4, but I'd be willing to bet that the 5th is a first 4 squad.

If I had to handicap right now I'd say SH gets in and StJ is in the play in game.
X, Providence, Nova and Butler will have a lot to say in it though.

Should be pretty exciting to watch, a nice conference battle for the end of the season.
