Big East Conference Game Thread

[Dooooooomed]

Xavier shot the 3 ball in the second half like we do all game long.

I like the No suit jacket look for Jay Wright. I have quietly believed that UConn has played poorly since Dan is back with suit jackets again after the Bahamas.

Fingers crossed that Seton Hall/Providence game happens, should be a fun watch. The slate of games tonight is brutal.

Seton Hall a bit depleted tonight - quite a few players and coaches not there- but they are playing

 

[auror]

Seton Hall is so deep. I shouldn't have rushed to put money on Providence after it was announced a bunch of Hall's players were out. Jackson/Yetna is still a pretty good frontcourt, despite missing Obiagu/Samuel.

Hall playing a zone which is limiting Watson's impact so far.

 

[awfuldan]

I got Providence -1, even after some of the Seton Hall players were listed out by the media. Feeling pretty good about that right now.

Not gonna be easy to win in Providence. Exactly why you can't give away the home game vs them.

 

[LIuconn]

Providence with nice throwbacks. We need to get the bubble script going this year

PC gonna be a top 20 team next week. Will you have gotten over the L to them by then?

It was a bad loss at home, 1st NBE home game of season vs a team UConn should have handled
I'm over it but it should never have turned out the way it did

Props to both Seton Hall and Tennessee for playing last night despite low numbers.

 

[BugsyCT]

Why do you assume Providence at home was a given W for us? They're a very good team, deserving of a top 25 ranking.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I got chills watching this.

I got chills watching this.

This is definitely how we should be selling the league. You could hear in castle’s commitment comments that the school and the fans are so focused on basketball meant something too him. He even indicated that Bruce Pearl was saying to him he’s trying to make Auburn more of a basketball school, but we all know unless you’re Kentucky, you’re always going to be football first by a long shot in the sec - and for a lot of the p5.

 

[CL82]

I got chills watching this.

Was that a backhanded Ed Cooley slam of our football team?

 

[ecasadoSBU]

I got chills watching this.

Cooley has taken the role of ambassador for a league that deserves major respect. It's a shame you don't hear Jay Wright doing the same.

I see coaches across the P5 always boosting their leagues. It's time for Big East coaches to all do the same
