Big East Conference Game Thread- February

[gsmooth]

This game might end around the same time as the seton hall Butler game

Scruggs can't even move.

I think he's both exhausted and hurt.

He couldn't contest. Looks like a bum ankle.

 

[UCfor3]

Bynum has RANGE

 

[gtcam]

Bynum is unconscious

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I am standing by my prediction that PC will lose by double digits to a double digit seed in the first round of the tournament.

 

[jrazz12]

Easiest 14 over 3 pick I'll ever make

 

[kobebeanbryant]

xavier looks terrible

 

[BugsyCT]

That was a Taliek shot

 

[HeGotGame]

Cooley may run the worst offense in the country.

 

[connVA]

Not having Nunge is an absolute killer for Xavier. And then Bynum hits a 30 footer because…of course

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Seems like March madness came early this year.

 

[gsmooth]

Remember how this board reacted when Richmond had the 27 pt game against UConn. Xavier fans might be feeling similar with Bynum. I am surprised Minaya’s defender isn’t helping more or that the Xavier D is let shading over to Bynum

 

[UconnU]

Hall v Butler in a one possession game late. This conference is insane.

It's hard to believe this team is going to win the league this year. All the stars had to align with a bunch of Covid stuff mixed in for them to get their first Big East regular season title ever.

Happy for them but don't like this team repping the Big East as regular season champs.

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.

 

[gsmooth]

Butler only down 3 with 2 min to go

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Yes, you have to give them credit for the W's.

That said, I don't know how it is possible but it seems like the more they win, the less impressed I am with them

They won't be a 3 seed.

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

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

Seton Hall in nail biter

Have to go with Gillespie or Justin Lewis

 

[connVA]

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.

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.

 

[auror]

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.
