Big East Conference Game Thread- February

Seton Hall in nail biter

 

[gsmooth]

what a flippin' game! Jared Bynum imo should be Big East player of the year!

Have to go with Gillespie or Justin Lewis

This is a league where you need to commit assault and battery down low to get a foul and they call that pedestrian crap on Nunge. Scruggs heroics aside, that effectively ended the game.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Gotta imagine Gillespie is gonna bang the hell out of Durham's abs when they play next.

I don't understand these takes that Providence will lose in a 3/14 game. They keep winning close games. They will probably be in a tight 3/14 where they close it out at the end or in overtime but I don't think they'll lose.

Luck eventually runs out.

idk if it was just these few games, but my god the refs are starting to effect outcomes in games that are so bad. One of Providence's players got shoved (no call), the ref gives it Xavier ball and finally gives into giving it to Providence.

The conference has to figure out if they're gonna let em play hardball or not and if so, then you can't call ticky-tac calls. Not fair to the players.

How's the ref miss that hack in Butler/Seton Hall game? Literally right there.

The Fighting Freida Felchers pull another one out of the hopper.

Providence’s KenPom luck stat is just gonna read “Yes.”

 

[gtcam]

Because they won't be playing in their decrepit arena and by then the calendar will be March, and well...

I agree that PC never sees success in March but the XL Center is nothing to write home about and had its share of water issues last night
Being you didnt like jchuskie's NBEPOY choices, who are you thinking should win? Just asking

 

[ArizonaHsky]

I can't stand Providence like a lot of you on here, but they are winning games. I guarantee if UConn were winning like this it would be,we are tough, we know how to close out games. What a bunch of entitled fans we have on here. I hope Providence doesn't go further than us in tournament, but if they do, I can hear the excuses already

 

[Austin316]

I just wanna play them again.

Not sure, but it's gonna be someone with a statline better than 12/2/4. Sanogo has a better case.

Congrats on their first ever big east regular season title in like 50 years . Thats probably like the peak of their accomplishment. Lol

 

[HeGotGame]

Win, and rush over here, I truly feel bad for how lonely you are.

 

[NewEnglandCB]

I just wanna play them again.

Me too. Very unfortunate that we didn’t get the rematch at the Dunk. We need to avenge the home loss. Hopefully we play in BET.

He’s not alone here.

In fairness, Villanova winning the regular season title every year isn’t good for anyone- it just makes us ACC North with Villanova instead of Duke. That said, winning the regular season title when the three games you’re missing against the middle-top of the conference could have changed the outcome is a little (or a lot) hollow, but obviously not PC’s fault. Kudos to them for taking care of what they could control.

 

[BGesus4]

Nice win. Impressed with Durhams performance.

I’m curious though, what is your feeling on what your team is likely to do in the tournament? Can’t deny you guys are winning a lot but things like being down 19 to butler and squeaking out almost every win can’t instill a lot of confidence.

Except, surprisingly, Duke hasn't won the ACC regular season title in over a decade. Crazy, huh?
