Big East Conference Game Thread- February

Wednesday 2/9/22

25 Xavier @ Seton Hall, 7:00pm, FS1- Tim Brando, Bill Raftery
Line: Seton Hall -3.5/142.5

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

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.
 
Be great if Xavier can pull this out somehow, last thing I want to do is face Xavier off back to back losses
 
Big win for Hall. They SHOULD be a tourney team but it's still early.

We’re running into a hornet’s nest Friday. That’s already a loud arena. They’ll need a win, and the city is already humming for the bengals. Going to be tough.

We're UConn. We've seen monsters before. The pressures on them. Jump on them early, theyre prone to slow starts.

Hoping you’re right - Friday will be a challenge. They need the win, but it’s a tall task.
 
GTown is significantly worse than DePaul. It's stunning.

Omg GTown with the miracle bank 3 for a push. SMH.
 
Idk if they recover
They can attract a big name coach. They are a monster program. But man, Ewing needs to step down tonight and just be done with it. It’s embarrassing for his legacy
 
Time to point and laugh at Syracuse for losing to this Georgetown team

Unbelievable collapse to get it to 8. DePaul was up 20 with two minutes to go, right?? Can't imagine watching that final minute with money on the line.

Can they though? They haven’t really won since John Thompson and his son. I think GTown is all nostalgia at this point. I think it’s going to be a long climb for GTown unless they hire a $tar head coach

I don't know. Our 2017-18 season was pretty terrible, and we were fortunate enough to be in a lesser league than the Big East. Give that team Georgetown's 2021-22 schedule and you'd probably see similar results.
Yea but being down by 25 to an 11-10 DePaul team?

Syracuse is going to make the tournament. Just watch. They are quietly on a 4-game winning streak. They are 13-11 right now. If they win 18 in the regular season and 2 in the ACC tourney, they'll probably get in because the bubble is soft this year.

They're 115th in WAB and 71 in KenPom. 0-5 in Q1. They're going to need to beat some better teams. They have to win at least 2 of their 4 remaining Q1 games to have any shot, and they are underdogs in all 4 and 5+ point underdogs in their most signature win opportunities (Home Duke and @VTech... but neither are even that impressive). Torvik gives them 2% chance of an at-large bid.
