Big East Conference Game Thread- February

[superjohn]

Horchler has been awesome this second half.

 

[87Xfer]

ugh

 

[ecasadoSBU]

just wow. If this goes to OT Providence firing on all cylinders

 

[CTBasketball]

Butler has their own version of the Dogpound DJ and it’s making me cringe.

 

[Kathy]

Butler looks tight

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Butler just isn’t that talented. There is no next level with them at the end of games.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Creighton is favored. Strange.

 

[auror]

The Butler guy just fell over and gave Providence the win. That's just. Ugh.

Edit - Except Providence guy missed both. Butler has a shot.

 

[BugsyCT]

PC's gonna drop in the polls even if they pull this out. This is a 13-14 Butler team, although every conference game is a meat grinder.

 

[87Xfer]

this is stressing me out

 

[ecasadoSBU]

How bad can you be at the line. geez. FTs.

 

[auror]

Wide open 3 missed. And Providence tried to turn it over but time ran out. Providence improves their Luck score.

 

[87Xfer]

that was brutal

 

[Hurleyman216]

Crazy…PC led this game for all of 20-30 seconds and wins again. Luckiest team in college bball

 

[jibsey]

He could have taken 2 dribbles for a 15 footer.

 

[HeGotGame]

OT at home vs DePaul, lose to Nova, OT vs Butler. Hard to figure why people don't take PC seriously.

Wide open 3 missed. And Providence tried to turn it over but time ran out. Providence improves their Luck score.

Butler had that one stolen from them for sure. They should have been able to win it in regulation. Providence snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Horchler so clutch on both ends. He is the true stretch four UConn could really benefit from having on the roster.

Will they make the tournament now? Jk.

They'll be exposed in the Big East tournament and exposed again in the NCAA's.

 

[HeGotGame]

Not so much. Here’s some context for you: UCLA was in the play in game last year (one of the last at large teams in). What was their KenPom going into the tournament? 44. Exactly the position that PC is in right now. It’s crazy for a team with so few losses, but if they don’t snap back they really could slide to the bubble. Their resume overall is much weaker than ours

No one has less respect for PC then me, but this is an embarrassingly bad take. UCLA was 17-9. There is no comparison other then sharing one single metric. PC could lose every remaining game by 100 and be no where near the bubble.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I blame Horchler's haircut.

Horchler has been awesome this second half.

Credit him for playing through the haircut.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Not big east news but Josh Carlton just scored the potential game winning and 1 on espn @Witchita

 

[Hurleyman216]

Horchler so clutch on both ends. He is the true stretch four UConn could really benefit from having on the roster.

He’s coming next year (Alex Karaban). Needs to add some muscle, but already a better shooter than Horchler and I’m looking forward to him giving other teams nightmares for the next 4 years

Teams like this usually end their season with a 12 point loss to a 14 seed in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Still not sold on PC. I believe they are the Paper Tiger of the Big East.
