Big East Conference Games Thread - Dec '24

PC is a train wreck offensively

I am amazed that St. John’s is up despite going 11-26 from the free throw line.

FT shooting cost them the Baylor game

Fun ending. Ejiofor is so good. This was a pretty good game, certainly better than the snoozer of a CFP game on ABC.

 

[alexd]

Great finish. Now go practice your FT's.

 

[gsmooth]

Things come full circle in life. About one month ago Ejiofor missed 2 FTs in the Bahamas with a 2 pt lead vs Baylor. And then he was in tears when Jeremy Roach hit the game winning 3 pter. Now Ejiofor hits the game winner at the buzzer in the AMP.

Did they handshake after the game?

No

Television sets all over the nation were switching from college football playoffs to watch mega programs Providence (where’s that?) versus St Johns (Saint who??)

You probably enjoyed the Georgia/TCU national championship game too. To each their own.

These teams are not good

These teams are not bad, like most of college basketball, any given night they can beat anyone. Providence took undefeated Oklahoma to the wire on a neutral court and lost by 2. On a good night with all there players they can hang with UConn. Other than the SEC this year, the Big East, Big 12, and Big 10 are very similar. Enjoy the games without looking for perfection.

Just watched some highlights of the PC/St Johns game. Providence was up 16 in the first half and blew it at home. Yikesssssssss

This college football playoff has been awesome so far. If you ever wanted to see the football equivalent of a game between the Boston Celtics and a middle school JV team, watch the CFP.

Is it a defensive foul if the ball handler steps on a defender’s foot and trips? Not sure but if yes, Xavier should have been at the line to tie the game with 2 seconds left

There was another angle that showed the trip more clearly. Clear foul imo

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

That would have been a flagrant on Diarra.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Nova hung in there, but Creighton wins 86-79. 14s for Creighton. So tough at home.

That's a tough call because it happens so quickly. Often the call it because the offensive player falls. This isn't the same play but at the time it was the absolute right no-call. It may have been the most fantastic incredible no-call in the history of all sports ever documented.

Creighton beats Villanova, and Fedor has been cleared by the NCAA. They certainly need him after the Isaacs injury.

Warde Manuel cannot judge football talent, who knew?
