2023 Big East Tournament (Non-UConn Games)

[Greedo]

Can I just say I am a huge fan of the dude at the DePaul Xavier game with court side seats drinking a red slushie and eating cereal out of a box he keeps at his feet.

Yes! Yes you can.

 

[Dibbie]

DePaul choking late. TO, missed front end, TO

 

[gsmooth]

How DePaul handles losing the lead in like forever in this game will determine the direction the game will go.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Depaul can’t get a defensive rebound to save their lives, and they keep passing the ball to Xavier. Bad, bad execution down the stretch.

 

[spudzj6]

Up 1, DePaul put a shot up, foul called on nunge. refs made it a 1-1, missed the front end. How was that not a 2 shot foul?

 

[REB1094]

Every single BE game today has been amazing. God I love this conference

 

[Marbles90]

Bad coaching not getting Gibson into the game when they were down 1 with the ball.

 

[TRest]

Nunge is a stiff.

 

[jibsey]

Miller escapes.

 

[gsmooth]

Damn. I really wanted to see DePaul win that.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Colby Jones is really good. Nunge got so many offensive boards down the stretch

 

[prankster]

Miller escapes.

Wow! Total breakdown by DePaul. They played one hell of a game. The last 4 minutes buried them.

 

[gsmooth]

This is the type of game Xavier lost last year with Paul Scruggs and Travis Steele leading the team.

 

[auror]

Bummer.

 

[superjohn]

Nunge is a really good player

FTFY

Unfortunately it was just a matter of time before DePaul was gonna DePaul. Unrelated- Miller being interviewed and, spolier alert, he still oozes sleaziness.

 

[BugsyCT]

Gutsy effort by DePaul for the majority of the game. Really liked their coach’s halftime peptalk. The better team just ultimately had more when it mattered.

Xavier will have their hands full with the Nova/Creighton winner.

 

[REB1094]

A couple of weeks ago, Villanova shredded Creighton’s defense by bringing Kalkbrenner into every pick and roll, and letting Dixon go to work against him on the perimeter

They’ve only done that action once so far tonight. As a result Creighton’s defense is holding strong

Sure absolutel. But my goodness is he way better than Travis Steele

 

[CTBasketball]

Lots of Creighton fans here…

 

[auror]

Kalkbrenner owning the paint. Nova can't get anything within 8 feet without great effort.

Lots of Creighton fans here…

I love that you are still there, since we lhad a beer together right before tip, i had a scotch , a miller lite ( I hated it) watched us blow a 26 point lead, celebrated the win. Took a cab to smith and wollenskys, had a Cajun rib eye., went back to an apartment midtown East. got in car, drove home and now in bed in Old Lyme. Meanwhile you are still rocking the games in the garden. You have my full endorsement for boneyarder of the year. I’m a huge fan.

 

[connVA]

Down or not, Nova is still the scariest of the five teams still alive that doesn’t have a canine mascot.

 

[auror]

Creighton starting to hit shots. Pulling away. Nova is just not tough enough to hang. Scared of Kalkbrenner down low, launch a bunch of fairly difficult 3s from mediocre shooters on the outside. Same story in our game.
