Did they handshake after the game?

No

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

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.

 

[Tiamat7]

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

Creighton fans received an early Christmas present on Saturday when the program announced that Fedor Žugić had been granted immediate eligibility from the NCAA.

Warde Manuel cannot judge football talent, who knew?

Cooley has GTown looking good

I am on the record as hoping that an Ed Cooley coached team is not the Big East's upside surprise this season.

But who else was it gonna be?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

But who else was it gonna be?

This year's upside surprise team certainly appears to be Georgetown, but that doesn't mean I want it to be Georgetown.

Get ya! I would much rather see Memphis play WVU 42-37 in a bball game than in the Scooter Coffee Frisco Bowl

Seton Hall needs to do more HS recruiting in the 100-150 range, find and develop more guys like Isaiah Coleman

 

[aceboon]

Seton Hall, good grief

 

[BFieldHusky]

Seton Hall, good grief

Good for the league. That was hard to watch.

 

[Mr. Hand]

Seton Hall was 3/24 from 3, and one of the makes was banked in from a crazy angle.

They also shot 5 airballs.

I’m guessing that was not due to great Georgetown defense. Holloway recruits athletes and he needs to look at shooting guards as well moving forward.

 

[auror]

That Seton Hall vs. Georgetown game was absolute cinema.

They need a new coach. Sha can't coach any bit of offense and clearly sucks at identifying talent.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Rumor is that Holloway has less NIL money than many mid-majors, and his roster shows it. Holloway should have left two years ago.

 

[REB1094]

Seton Hall has no NIL, no coach, and more mid major level players than not. They would be in the lower tier of better mid major conferences like the MWC, WCC, A10

Maybe they’d be a middle of pack team in the CAA or CUSA

Holloway is a good coach, but there is nothing he can do with that program.

 

[ctbro1999]

Holloway is a good coach, but there is nothing he can do with that program.

He went from a program that had no money to even provide the team proper spaces for meetings (he often had his meetings in the showers of the men's locker room with water dripping on players' heads) to a program that has no NIL money to keep/attract any good players. Damn.

 

[AllHusky]

Holloway may have to take a step back in order to move forward in his career. Not sure if that means HC at a mid major with some resources, or top Asst at a P4 with resources. Don't see how SH can do anything but crush his career. Poster earlier said it, shoulda left 2 years ago.
