Big East Conference Game Thread- February

[AzHusky]

PC 9 for 18 at the ft line

 

[auror]

Providence just ran that ATO that made the rounds the last few weeks on Twitter lol. Worked, hit a 3.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

if providence goes down. they will remember those 4 missed free throws

 

[87Xfer]

goin down to the wire

 

[BugsyCT]

Anybody's game now

 

[auror]

Butler has to go 2 for 1 here.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

We say it all the time. But who in hell would be watching this game if it were two AAC teams? God bless the Big East Conference!

Every game is exciting

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Not sure I’ve ever seen someone miss all 3 free throws lol

I don't think any sane person made the argument that the AAC was better for basketball for UConn than the Big East 2.0.

 

[auror]

Thompson to the hoop can't be the play you run there. He's not good enough.

 

[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.

 

[SwingDog]

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.

 

[karstenkibbe]

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

 

[superjohn]

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

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.
