Big East Conference Game Thread - January

[UconnU]

Georgetown playing feisty, trailing the Friars 37-34 at the half.

You spoke too soon. They are Georgetown after all.

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.

One bad loss doesn’t kill you, they have some quality wins as well. On pace to make the tournament.

Seton Hall without Aiken today vs the Johnnies (whom they play again on Monday). Pirates could fall to 2-6 in conference play.

Beating SJ at home and they get them Mon in Jersey

Not a Big East team but there’s no where better to comment. What is up with Bobby’s ASU team? They’re horrible.

Hmm red-hot Marquette getting points at home? Kinda like that.

Rooting for Butler today, but I don't think I can bet on them. Gonna tune in though.

Providence has had a hard time shaking Butler all game.

 

[SwingDog]

Butler takes Providence down to the wire at The Dunk...Friars get the win 69-62.

When are we getting that rescheduled PC game?

Providence has had a hard time shaking Butler all game.

I watched most of the game. It’s clear as day that we are a superior squad, especially offensively, if we are healthy and playing our A game. I’m looking forward to UConn exacting some revenge at the Dunk.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

They just showed Providence upcoming schedule and they are going to be 10-2. After Xavier and Marquette, which they will probably split, the next three are easy, but they will have some tough games after that. UConn needs to take care of business in next three games before Villanovan.

Game hasn't been rescheduled yet.

We are not a great offensive team, so we are not superior to Providence. Do I think we are better, Yes

They are missing AJ Reeves right now, which definitely hurts their offense.

PC has only played 4 true road games so far, some of those canceled Covid games will catch up to them I suspect.

 

[InTheRed]

When are we getting that rescheduled PC game?

Looks unlikely. Big East isn't allowing teams to play three games in a week two weeks in a row. As a result I dont think there is a date that works. Odd that they haven't announced it won't be made up though.

Marquette should be ranked

How badly is your fanbase hoping you don’t have to play us again in the regular season

 

[shizzle787]

So far this weekend every result has gone the way of helping the league get 7 bids.

You have to be joking, right?
