Big East 2024 Offseason

[Warriors4ever]

First tiebreaker is head to head, we don’t with both. Next is the record against the highest seeded team, which is UConn. They have both beaten UConn, so if we lose this week to them, we lose that tiebreaker.
As far as I am concerned, I want UConn to beat Seton Hall tomorrow, to lessen any chance of ending up 4th. They already have a share of the title anyway.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

2 or 3 is basically the same thing.

[Warriors4ever]

I agree. Just want to stay out of four.

[Warriors4ever]

I meant to say, we split with both. So it would go to the next tiebreaker.

[wisblue]

EXTREMELY unlikely we end up at 4.

It becomes less likely if Seton Hall loses tomorrow to UConn. It becomes impossible if Seton Hall also loses to Nova.

It could come  down to MU needing a win at Xavier, and no road game not against DePaul or Georgetown is a gimme, especially if Kolek is still out.

[Warriors4ever]

If Seton Hall were to win tomorrow, the possibility of a three-way tie looms, as their remaining games are Villanova and DePaul, and Creighton’s remaining game is Villanova. Hence I am pulling for UConn tomorrow.

[MU82]

Will be rooting hard for UConn tomorrow. Not that they'll need it. I expect a decisive victory for a far superior team playing at home.

I'm pulling for UCONN too, but what's with the ''effin "hence"? Are you an English teacher or a snooty Brit? Huh?Huh?

[Warriors4ever]

I watch British television 🤣.
I like the word.

Georgetown beating Xavier by 12 at halftime. That could be interesting.

[Herman Cain]

Mr Cooley has his squad playing well

[PointWarrior]

Sure…

Mr Cooley has his squad playing well

[MU82]

Mr Cooley has his squad playing well

Mr. Cooley is 0-17 against Big East teams not named Mr. DePaul. But yeah, he's doing a bang-up job.

[tower912]

Georgetown may end up playing walk ons, considering the foul situation.

[MU82]

Yep. Real well.

[DFW HOYA]

2-16. Again.

[PointWarrior]

Herm - are you going to tell us this was an excellent win for Xavier?

Mr Cooley has his squad playing well

[tower912]

Excellent comeback on the road by Xavier.  Excellent character building by Cooley.

[DFW HOYA]

Excellent comeback on the road by Xavier.  Excellent character building by Cooley.

Character building doesn't allow 73% from the field after halftime.

[tower912]

I admire and respect the history of your program.   It has been a rough few years.

I admire and respect the history of your program.   It has been a rough few years.

1907-2021: One losing season of 20 or more games.
2021-2024: Three losing seasons of 20 or more games.

Average attendance, 2011: 12,675
Average attendance, 2024: 6,826

[Herman Cain]

Excellent comeback win by X.

Friars up next for Mr.Cooley

[MU82]

Friars up next for Mr.Cooley

I'm sure it will be another excellent triumph for Mr. Cooley, who is doing an excellent, excellent job.

Not quite as excellent as his total of 3 excellent NCAA tournament wins in his first 17 years as a D1 head coach, but excellent nonetheless.

I'm sure it will be another excellent triumph for Mr. Cooley, who is doing an excellent, excellent job.

Not quite as excellent as his total of 3 excellent NCAA tournament wins in his first 17 years as a D1 head coach, but excellent nonetheless.

Georgetown has three NCAA wins since 2007 and hasn't seen the the AP Top 25 in nine years. This ditch wasn't built by Cooley but by two men that will never coach college basketball again.

[wisblue]

UConn rolling over Seton Hall as expected.

All MU needs now to avoid the 4 seed in the BET is a win in one of the next 2 or a Villanova win over Seton Hall or Creighton.

Providence, St. John’s, and Villanova are all looming as possible first game opponents.
