Big East Conference Game Thread - January

[3rdbass]

Game going right down to the wire and Marquette is hanging in there without Justin Lewis bringing his A game. Morsell is keeping them in it.

 

[CTBasketball]

Durham is locked in. Going to be a good last few minutes.

 

[AntG168]

Terrible foul call on Morsell

 

[UConnSwag11]

Providence students and crowd showed up. Animal house

 

[3rdbass]

Wow great game. Justin Lewis trying to take it over for Marquette now. Go Marquette!

 

[3rdbass]

Marquette letting Watson owned the boards. Ugh.

 

[AntG168]

That was nasty

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Exciting game. I love watching games like this when I’m not emotionally invested. Lmao

That's why I stopped betting on sports once my first deposit dried off.

Nate Watson has been a beast these last few minutes.

 

[3rdbass]

Going down to last possession with Marquette down 2 and the ball. Exciting game. Go Marquette! Damn should have go to Lewis to begin with. Should of made that bunny off the rebound too. Boo!

Can’t wait for Providence season to end sooo under their fanbases’s current expectations. So overrated.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Unfortunate.

 

[Hi-Low]

Providence Luck continues...#1 in Kenpom in Luck category

 

[Kathy]

Too bad someone had to lose- what a fun game to watch.

 

[awfuldan]

Exciting game! Kicking myself for betting Marquette ML instead of +2.5.

That Watson and-1 dunk was sick. Classic 2022 PC, 2 point win and no cover.

I mean i've drove the bus on the PC is overrated train. But they were damn good today. Can't take that from them.

Providence is a good team but I don't think they're built for success in the NCAAs.

They keep squeaking out games they don’t cover in. I’m not looking for an argument. It is what it is.

Can't stand Providence but they are not overrated. They have some good players and Durham has helped their toughness. They are a tough well coached team.

 

[navery12]

Just like people (right or wrong) get on UConn for getting tight in close games, there's value in PC pulling them out. Their players are always going to have the confidence in tight games

 

[superjohn]

Solid team, hope Cooley wins a game in the tournament with this group.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I'm mostly disappointed that the team we lost to and only play once gets the W, and the team we beat and will play twice gets the L.

 

[mauconnfan]

They’re winning and they just beat a team we are raving about beating, yet so many here laugh at them. We have some whacky fans I’ll tell you, give credit where credit is due. They are tough and will not be fun to play for anyone. Was rooting hard against them today but respect the grittiness they play with.

Marquette guy walks into the lane on a FT miss, guy makes 2 stupid player. Morsell did not foul Durham (not a fan always falling) that hurt. Watson was tougher than their bigs down the stretch. They were too worried about blocking shots and not getting rebounds.

Dunkin more of a Home court advantage than we’ve had in years, well done by their fans and students who had a couple mile walk to the DD.

Wow what a great game and atmosphere at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence-they were loud as hell. I am so glad UConn is back in the Big East. I have much more interest in non-UConn conference games in the Big East then I ever did in the AAC. I am not even trying to dig at the AAC as I think UConn let the AAC down after 2016 more than the AAC let them down. But other than SMU, Cincinnati, Houston, and Wichita State playing each other, I didn't have any interest in the non-UConn AAC games. Tulane, Tulsa, East Carolina, USF, and UCF are a bore.
