Ooh, always glad to have Donny Marshall calling our games.

Watching Nova/Creighton right now. Villanova really seems eminently beatable. I hate Creighton but I guess I should be rooting for them, since every Nova loss in conference makes it easier for us to win the league.

 

[bendm]

Wish Creighton hadn’t lost to ASU. Not a good look for one of the teams in the top half of the BE if they win tonight

 

[Ratso]

can’t believe I’m excited to go back to Dunkin’ Donuts center

 

[shizzle787]

Creighton up 6 with 7 to go.

 

[10TOES]

Wow up 11 with 5 to go. Does anyone think Villanova is actually a top 20 team?

 

[Dooooooomed]

Nova is tiny. Our fully healthy bigs should feast on both ends.

 

[LIuconn]

They’ll wash out to 20-25

 

[HooperScooper]

Nova is tiny. Our fully healthy bigs should feast on both ends.

Hopefully Hurley doesn't decide to go small to match up with them.

 

[MJ1]

The Big East will be like this all year. Any of the 11 teams can beat anyone on a given night. Should be a fun year. A two or three game losing streak during the season should be expected. The cream will rise to the top and Nova will still be in the top 4 or 5 in the end.

 

[awfuldan]

Good teams are going to lose a lot of games in the Big East this year.

Nova ain’t all that good.

 

[zls44]

Creighton now 2-0 in league play, DePaul gets the L

 

[Jaker]

Big East is up for grabs this year.

UConn @ Marquette, 9:00, FS1 - Kevin Fitzgerald, Donny Marshall

[Hey Adrien!]

I like Xavier in this game. I don't see their frontcourt doing much to prevent Freemantle and Nunge do their thing.

That would be something as Xavier always get smoked every year at Villanova.

 

[MJ1]

Georgetown/Providence game off tomorrow, Georgetown hit with Covid.

 

[Jaker]

Whipping up a batch of Gingerbread men for the game tonight.

 

[jibsey]

Noticed that Nova is going inside a lot. Xavier is pretty good I guess.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is a good game. Villanova is a little more discerning in its shot selection.

 

[gtcam]

Xavier with a master choke job in the final minutes

 

[bendm]

Big win for nova to stay ranked. We want them to be a Legit top 25 team. Xavier should stay in the top 25 too.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Make your FTs down the stretch. Reminds me that UConn FT shooting has also fallen off.

 

[Dooooooomed]

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

 

[HuskyHawk]

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.
