Big East championship week …..

Love how the games set up today. Nice appetizer with what should be an easy PC win and a good Midwestern matchup.

Then the main event with 4 classic BE teams.
 
I would love to see Nova lose but for the purposes of the tournament, I think chalk prevailing today will make tomorrow and Saturday insane.

@August_West what is the Arby's Mojo Meal of the Day?
Expand ...
Oh no. Not today. I did my arbys this week. Twice. I left western Michigan at 230 this morning to board a plane in Grand Rapids at 435 am , got home an hour ago and leaving for city at 1 pm and then we have a date with Empire steakhouse for some A5 . I’ve earned it :-) and the mojo requires it.

I admire the rooftop TikTok pregame party, it’s an epic gesture.it sounded real tempting. But a nice relaxed pampered steakhouse meal I think will serve me better personally and the mojo gods bigly.

As far as arbys mojo? Anything and everything!

I am a big Dayton fan since my daughter graduated from there last Spring and have been following them all year. They are very very young and their 3 really bad losses (UMass-Lowell, Lipscomb, Austin Peay) came during the first four games at the beginning of the season when they were just learning how to play together. Since then they have pretty much plowed through the A10 and have gotten some good wins including wins over Kansas, Miami, VA Tech and a good Belmont team.

I get that we are all into computer rankings these days but I really wish those putting teams in the tourney actually watch games especially how teams are playing now vs November/December. You can point to the computer all day but the way Xavier is playing now should matter more than what net rankings say.

That being said, you are 100% right and I agree that Dayton and the teams you list have to earn there way in by not getting ousted in the opening round.

ETA: How about Dayton making the last four in and getting to play an opening round at UD Arena??

Don’t forget they had a bad loss vs La Salle who is a horse chit team

The level of play in this Butler/Providence game is not super impressive. Insane amount of foul calls as well. Half Butler's team has 2+ fouls in the first half, and Bynum has 3 for Providence.

Very poorly played so far. PC should be call the flops, not the Friars, as they do it better than Duke. At the moment Butler is shooting like a fifth grade CYO squad.

Still, it's great being back at the Garden!
 
PC and Butler tied up at the half. Not sure if this looks better for Xavier or worse for Providence.

The guy that tossed Hurley for pumping up the crowd is reffing the game I think.
 
Providence playing down to the competition again I see. They’re the least impressive 24-4 team I think I’ve ever seen.

Bracket Matrix also hasn't updated since the loss

Yesterday Xavier was in the field on 114 brackets, today only 102, so they lost more than 10% of their support overnight. I believe Wake lost more support than that.

Wake went from 135 yesterday morning to 86 today
 
I love weird and absurd stuff, but I lol'd when that Taylor Swift song died within two seconds. I just don't get why that's a thing.

That pass from Lukosuis to Golden!!!

I respect Providence and what they have accomplished so far in this season, but yeah I am not impressed.

Sarunas Marciulionis comparison is great for Lukosius, kid is a baller.

An under-discussed interest in this Tournament is that one possible avenue for getting up to the #4 line involves surpassing Providence.

If they lose to Butler, that would be 3 losses out of 6, and not a lot of signature wins over the latter part of the season.

I'd prefer to see UConn surpass PC by whooping them by 30 in the BET final.
 
Stop missing layups, butler…
 
Really entertaining game though. Been tight the whole way. I assume Providence will win, because that's what they do (namely they draw a shit ton of fouls in the last 4 minutes and randomly make 3s after missing all game).

Butler threw away a possession with about 1:40 left. They may regret that
 
Come on Butler, need a basket here!

Hopefully their coach can draw up something that isn't a Lukosius step-back 3.
 
Make up fouls to send Watson to the line, miss a foul on a layup with a minute left.

This is rough
