Big East championship week …..

[FfldCntyFan]

You have to f#@$ing love this tournament!!!!!

 

[CaptainRon]

It’s not the AAC, but adequate none the less.

 

[Scoe]

What the hell were you thinking Donny.

Creighton just makes plays, man. Wasn't too hard for them to beat Marquette three times, and I still don't think they miss Nembhard all that much. Alexander is actually super solid with the ball for being a 3rd string converted SG.

Kaluma is going to win conference POTY next year or the year after.

Hawkins is a real guy.

Hey @Big East Fa , if you work for Fox, can you have them fix the damn sound! Crowd noise drowning out the announcers. Usually not a bad thing but I love Raff. Annoying. Thanks!

 

[shizzle787]

This win locks Creighton into the field, and they avoid the First Four.

some poor, poor fanbase is going to be licking their chops when they see that they got matched up with creighton in the dance... this team just wins.

Kaluma is a star for sure. Their core is crazy good.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Can’t believe Marquette was laying 2 points in this game. Creighton led from pillar to post. Easiest bet I’ve made this week.

 

[Scoe]

Greg McBellichick can coach.

 

[Scoe]

Big East back to being the best conference, yes I'm a homer.

 

[Tommyboy]

Kaluma is going to win conference POTY next year or the year after..

Kaluma is a beast. Can't believe he is only a freshman.

 

[HuskyHawk]

It’s looking like the best coach in the conference is going to be watching the semifinals from home. That’s kind of strange.

Because he is facing the actual best coach in the conference.

 

[auror]

Kaluma is a star for sure. Their core is crazy good.

Gonna start tweeting at draft people to get him buzzing so he declares and then some team in the teens or 20s falls in love and promises him during pre-draft process. Foolproof plan.

 

[shizzle787]

For Xavier to get in, they need as many of the following teams as possible to lose today:

Virginia
Virginia Tech
Oregon
Washington
Washington State
Oklahoma
Wyoming

And tomorrow:
Rutgers
Texas A&M
Colorado
VCU
Dayton
SMU
Memphis

 

[BugsyCT]

Impressive that Creighton’s done this well considering how many players they lost from last year’s team. That’s one solid coach they’ve got.

I love a really strong Big East, we just have to start beating them.

 

[Samoo]

Are you coming down here?

 

[BugsyCT]

Get ready.

 

[UconnU]

I’m sorry but Cole’s mother needs to put down the phone and chill on Twitter. Her Gillespie comments are out of line.

Yep. And people were mortified we lost to them and even downplayed their talent like we were slumming it being in the same gym. I get it. 0-5 is awful and they really have our number. With that said they have been pretty darn good these two years and while they are very well coached, their talent has been vastly underrated. Give them credit. They are a royal pain in our backsides.

Huh?

That said, I REALLY hope Dan Hurley has a plan to counter McDermott's "pack the paint" strategy to suffocate Sanogo offensively whenever we play them next (this season or next). We've seen it twice (AS was 6-16 in Omaha) and he'd be silly to not keep doing it until we can stop it.

I will say this: Zissou was dead wrong.

3:25 to tipoff and there is barely a smattering of fans in the seats.

If this were a UConn game the place would be packed to the gills well before this point
