Big East 2024 Offseason

I’m hoping for Nova to hang a loss on Seton Hall today.

Do we want Nova or the Hall?

I’m hoping for Nova to hang a loss on Seton Hall today.

Me too. Obnoxious SH fans and the fact that they are just one W behind us in BE standings are the reasons why I would like to see SH go down. But can Neptune figure out how to do it?

You gotta come to the realization that teams 4-9 are jumbled at all times and consistently playing each other multiple times a week and ultimately they dont matter at all for us. We play them all twice. We are far ahead of them all

Hell on 1 hand if Nova wins they could become a Q1A road win for us. ON the other hand SHU NET is 67 and if they fall apart they go from Q1 loss and Q2 win to a Q2 and Q3.

4-9 is chaos.

Fair enough.  I'm guessing we'll be #5 tomorrow.  If UNC is ahead of us it's a travesty.  Boy is Gillen annoying.

My rationale for wanting Nova has nothing to do with how it affects MU’s resume because, as you point out, the impact of the conference teams can be something of a zero sum game.

I am just looking at the conference standings and ahead to conference tournament seedings. If MU can’t get the 1 seed I would want them to get the 2 or 3 to get a first round bye in the bracket opposite UConn.

A Seton Hall loss would put MU 2 losses clear of third place. As we were reminded yesterday, , MU still has 7 difficult games and can use a cushion.

Nova 39 SH 24 at the half. I wonder how many SH fans will leave at halftime and enjoy their Superbowl parties a little early, especially the alcohol related parts.

[Herman Cain]

Excellent first half performance at home by Nova. Let’s see what adjustments The Hall makes in the second half.

OOPs! I had the home team/visitor reversed. Still- I'm sure there are plenty of SH fans there. Or were.

"Watching" on the computer due to CBSSN.

[Herman Cain]

Nova with their Classic 3 point ahooting today

[DoctorV]

Didn’t see that one coming.

Nova went medieval on Shaheen and Co.

That should really help Villanovas metrics and hurt Seton Halls already struggling metrics.

[PGsHeroes32]

SHU might be outta the top 75 now. No bueno

[brewcity77]

It'll be close. We could add a Q1A win (Nova) while also adding a Q2 loss. The Nova win also helps St. John's, who swept them.

[wadesworld]

I hope SHU loses out.

SHU falls to 76. Villanova up to 42. (NET rankings came out early)

[CountryRoads]

I hope SHU loses out.

Shame we don’t play them next. Would love a chance to bury them further. I wouldn’t lose any sleep if we end their season in the BET.

There is definitely an assumption from some people that Carter is the BE POY.  What would it take for Kolek to take it from him?  I think if we beat them twice Kolek should be BE POY.

If Tyler keeps playing the way he has he won't be caught.

IMO, Devin Carter is in 2nd at the moment.

In last seven games:

19.8 points  (including a total of 4 against SH)
10 Assists
Incredible play.

These were after his two brutal games against SH and Butler.  If he keeps this pace or even close, he is BE POY and back in play for AA recognition.

Can’t beat them twice. They can beat us twice.

But ya if TK keeps around what he’s doing now he should win it no doubt unless bias voter fatigue. He accounts for way more pts with his assists.

Also if we are a runaway top 2 team in the league while Providence finishes around 10-10. That’ll swing to TK too

He also had 15/6 at half vs Gtown and then went cruise control as Kam went bonkers.

His numbers that game coulda been far more gaudy but wasn’t necessary.

TyKo is deserving of the BEPOW Honor. Unfortunately, this may be a similar circumstance to Markus in his Senior Year, when Markus was highly deserving, however the Coaches gave the award to Myles ("Cry Baby")Powell.

Carter is playing on a bubble team in the bottom half of the league. I don't think that will equate to a Big East POY award. Team success matters. I think it's between Kolek and Tristen Newton, though if you go by performance in Big East play, it's Kolek and it's not particularly close.
