Really would like to see lucky have an epic collapse here to lose the Big East regular season title. Xavier, Creighton, Nova to close it out for them. I can see them losing all 3. That would put them in our 2/3 bracket as well. Fingers crossed.

North Texas is above PC in Kenpom.

Of course, PC is the 1st place team in standing and 6th place team in Kenpom.

Cute, but there are 4 other Big East teams in front of North Texas. I guess you can twist stats to make anything look good. Nice job!

Ideal BET seeding would be 1 Nova, 2 PC, 3 UConn, 4 IDGAF

But if PC collapses to the 3 thats fine too

It would be funny if their inability to reschedule games led to them not being able to invoke the tie-breaker.

If UConn wins out and they lose out:

Villanova: 16-4
UConn: 14-5
PC: 12-5

Yes, I agree. I think you seemed to miss the point since I was agreeing with the point that this is silly. The original statement was true in letter but false in spirit.

2/23/22

Creighton @ St. John's, 6:30pm, FS1 -Kevin Kugler, Bill Raftery
Line: St. John's -5/147.5

Xavier @ 11 Providence, 7pm, CBSSN - Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas & Sheree Buruss (sidelines)
Line: Providence -2.5/139.5

Butler @ Seton Hall, 8:36pm, FS1- Noah Eagle, Casey Jacobsen
Line: Seton Hall -9.5/132.5

From a UConn quadrant resume perspective, we're rooting for:

Close St. John's win.
Close Xavier win.
Blowout Seton Hall win.

So I was planning on hammering Xavier bouncing back @ lucky providence but they’re only getting 1 point!? I was hoping to get like 4 or 5. So I’m staying away. Money absolutely hates Providence.

Yeah I mean, Vegas knows the same thing we all know about Providence.

 

[superjohn]

Damn, Nembhard just broke his wrist going for a steal on Posh.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Ugly scene in the Creighton-SJU game. Nembhard tried to jump a pass to Posh Alexander and ended up colliding and hurt his wrist. It looked like he mouthed "I broke it" or "it's broken" to the bench right after. Looks bad.

Edit: taken back to the locker room after they immobilized the wrist with a cast on the court. Have to imagine he's done for the year, but hope he recovers quickly. He's been a fun freshman to watch this year.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Bummer. That kid is talented.

No they don't.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

It’s either broken or what’s called a peri-lunate dislocation. He’s done for the year.

Thing is, Creighton is playing awful well without him. We need to take care of business against them.

 

[CTBasketball]

Turn on St Johns / Creighton, game is getting good.

 

[Kathy]

Turn on St Johns / Creighton, game is getting good.

Even with the Creighton injury.

 

[Scoe]

I can’t stand Creighton, they don’t beat themselves. I hate them more then Nova. I guess we should want them to win this game.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Couple of phantom calls in Providence's favor.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Creighton has the whinest fan base in the entire Big East

 

[BugsyCT]

I try not to hate Creighton, but they're so frickin' annoying.

 

[CTBasketball]

Ugh Johnnies gonna Johnny.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Nice implosion by St. Johns at the end.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

The more Providence plays the upper half of the BE, the more I'm convinced they'll be 50-50 to make the BE final game.

 

[3rdbass]

Ugh Johnnies gonna Johnny.

Yep, they blew that game trying to drive straight into a 7'3 Center end of the game. They needed to try to drive and kick out for a 3.

 

[3rdbass]

PC Durham re-injures his abdominal. Currently out of the game. Ok checking back in the game so I guess not too bad.

 

[gsmooth]

Nice implosion by St. Johns at the end.

I know, yuck. I was going for St. John’s, too. Champagnie couldn’t spank a whore‘s behind if she bent over in front of him. He shot 3-17 in that game.
