Wow..DePaul over the Hall.
What a crazy conference we are in. I love it!!
 
Anyone counting any win as auto better stop right now. We gotta bring it every night or every game from here on out is a potential L.
 
Seton Hall scraped and scrapped until the bitter end, but DePaul (especially Terry) was perfect from the free throw line, so the Blue Demons hang on for the win 94-90.
 
After recent loss to Marquette, Tony Stubblefield said:

"You can't give up 87 points and win in the Big East at this level."

But apparently you CAN give up 92 points and win. Go figure.

good games today.

seton hall's second game in a row giving up 40+ in the first half to a subpar team. kadary richmond has officially turned back into a pumpkin -- just got stuffed at the rim and then got called for an obvious travel on the very next possession.

Yes. Seton Hall got two attempts with 1.8 left after the official told him to run the baseline after everyone knows you can't. Lewis gets hammered to the ground with 3 minutes left and no call. Went both ways.

Maybe Richmond turned into a pumpkin because the other coaches figured things out and he wasn’t allowed to kill them one on one backing his defender down?
 
Watching this Butler/Nova game makes me feel like my in-laws are over and they request to watch the UConn women even though they're playing some bottom feeder Big East team.

But FIOS has it in 4K, so I'll watch. Hopefully some of our FS1 games are in 4k in the future.

Watching this game and all the other ‘nova games I’ve seen this season confirms one thing to me… the impact that timely, pinpoint passing has on offensive effectiveness. Aside from their roster’s three-point shooting prowess, they just get guys the ball in the right place at the right time. This is a really smart team offensively.

Bingo. That and guarding their guys, few mistakes just good fundamental basketball. I doubt we will be lucky enough to watch one of our next 2 be this easy....at all.

I've noticed the 4K quality this year is way better than last year. Last year, I avoided 4K as everything had a bit of a grayscale tint, but this year, the color seems a lot more accurate.

Butler is yet another example of why you don't hire someone to be a head coach simply because they are an alumni of your school.

That’s called coaching

It’s called in-game execution. I’m not saying they are mutually exclusive, but one would be completely disingenuous to say that Villanova’s on-court performance is all about coaching.

They are in the right places at the right times. You said it yourself. Why do you think that is???
 
Watching this Georgetown - St. John’s game. Georgetown looks inept. If we don’t absolutely destroy this Hoya squad…

I know every team has an off night but Creighton is just pounding a St. John's team by 30 that nearly beat us in Gampel a week ago.

This is one of those games that the coach probably wishes he could spread the wealth a little in terms of shooting. Creighton is wasting a 56% night from 3 on St. Johns. Creighton is probably going to be right on the bubble in March, and that home loss to ASU is going to look like a big fat zit in the middle of its forehead to the Selection Committee.

How is Paul Scruggs still on Xavier?

What's worse is that I thought Freemantle was black; I had never seen him play because he was always injured.
