Big East Conference Game Thread- February

[ASweet3781]

It doesn't reflect on anything. The Big East is a war and we still have eight wars left (not counting DePaul and @Georgetown.

Oh yes it does.

 

[Kolumbo]

55 points. you gotta be kidding me.

I think SHU and Creighton are a stretch for the dance.

It’s a war you say but let’s not count Gtown or DePaul he says. Let’s hope you don’t eat those words. And Creighton’s absolute crap show today does shed some light. Not sure in what angle but it gives folks pause.

… Hawkins goes 2 and 1 tonight after going 23 and 11 against us on Tuesday.

What does their 20 point win against Nova say?

You can lose on any night in this conference outside of GTown. No loss is a “bad” resume loss. DePaul, Creighton, Butler can and will be fights on any given night, to any upper echelon team in this conference. It doesn’t excuse the loss. But if you’re going to do this everytime Creighton plays, you’re going to drive yourself insane

Nova beat their brains in by 30 at home. We lost. Make of it what you well.

The second time. Let’s see what we do to them the second time.

But my overarching point is that there is nothing significant to take from it. On any given night, you can get you ish pushed it by just about anybody in this conference. Trying to extrapolate too much from one game is fruitless

Left all their lucky shots in Hartford.

Creighton scored 55 points tonight. 59 against UConn. Their lucky shots weren't the reason why UConn lost.

UConn had no business losing to Creighton. Bad loss but need to get over with what's ahead in Feb starting tomorrow.

DePaul up 5 at Xavier under 3 mins...nuts

[Hey Adrien!]

Some interesting box scores in the Nova @ St. John's game:

Gillespie: 0-5 FG, 10 rebounds, 2 steals in 26 minutes.

Wheeler: 11-17 FG, 6-10 3PT, 31 pts, 7 boards, 2 blocks.

 

[KingAG]

Xavier struggles to score it seems. We should be able to guard them. The question is if we’ll make shots. That’s the million dollar question for us every game

 

[Kathy]

Bush move by Freemantle

 

[MexicoHusky]

We seemed to matchup well with Xavier last year. Did we beat them without Bouk? I think so. Hoping for same favorable matchup. I'm also liking how Seton Hall is matching up with them. I feel we have some similarities to Hall.

Gillespie was clearly hurt.

Georegtown @ DePaul, 9pm, FS1- Lisa Byington, Nick Bahe
Line: DePaul -8/144.5

I have good money on DePaul -8. DePaul is better than advertised and GTown is beyond repair.

One of our best games from last year - got 24 from Cole and 12/10 from Whaley to win a really well-played contest (we won assists 21-19, both teams made 10+ 3s and shot 40%).

Freemantle killed us with 30/15, though. And after that cheap stuff he pulled today against Hall, I want to bury him even more.

 

[HeGotGame]

Be great if Xavier can pull this out somehow, last thing I want to do is face Xavier off back to back losses

 

[shizzle787]

Big win for Hall. They SHOULD be a tourney team but it's still early.
