Big East December '25 Thread

He hit a young boy sitting on mom's lap. Wow!

Wow, half empty seats and he finds a way to hit someone. When it rains it pours.

Cooley makes around 6 million per season. They cared enough to pay him that but it sure seems like someone else making thay kind of money would do a significantly better job.

I said it from the day Georgetown hired him, why did they go after Cooley so hard? What did he do at PC that was worth offering him $6 million a year? Georgetown could have gone after some up and coming mid-major guy who could coach and spent a lot less. And won, instead of Cooley's garbage.

 

[AllHusky]

This is borderline fireable, not even kidding.

Not borderline. If they want you, they got you,"for cause"

Well, in fairness to Cooley he was showing he supported and had his players’ back. The Georgetown players, outside of KJ Lewis, made under 50% of their FTs (14-32). Cooley simply said “don’t worry, hold my beer”.

Throwing a water bottle into the stands is having his players' backs? I guess I am misunderstanding what you posted.

Solidarity lol. He missed his target (presumably the 14th row) just as badly as his players were missing FTs

Someone who gets it.

LOL, I wasn't being serious-I was joking and being sarcastic. In no way was I supporting what Ed Cooley did.

Georgetown coach Ed Cooley hit a child with a water bottle

Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley accidentally nailed a child in the stands with a thrown water bottle at the end of his team’s loss on Saturday. Cooley was furious after Georgetown lost 80-77 to Xavier despite a series of chances to tie the game in the final minute.

Ed really lost his cooley

I spend 16 hours a day, 365 days a year on this message board asking for nothing more than one of these every six months or so

Ole Miss win probably won't be worth much to St Johns by the end of the season with the way they look today vs NC State. On the flipside if this blowout holds that should help Seton Hall

Yikes, if anything this makes St. John's look worse. They struggled to defeat Ole Miss while Will Wade and his boys at NC State are up 27 points with the score of 63-36 and 11 minutes left.

 

[FightOnCT]

Cooley is extremely overrated as a coach. He did fine at Providence but not spectacular. One good year, regressed and left in a messy way.

Year 3 in the NIL-portal era is more than enough time to get your act together and actually compete for a tourney bid. He has not come close in any of his chances in spite of significantly improved talent.

I think the Auburn loss summed it up. Auburn has been eviscerated in just about every other ranked matchup it has appeared in. Against St. John’s? An 11 point win.

Nova vs Seton Hall tonight has a bit of juice to it

 

[aceboon]

Nova should be doing whatever they can to get the 3rd foul on Clark in this first half with this much time left

 

[aceboon]

...and on cue Holloway subs him out because of how handsy and aggressive Clark was still playing on D with 2 fouls

 

[SoFla Steve]

Nova starting to pull away from The Hall. Still lots of time.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The big east coach of the year is getting his dick kicked in at home against Kevin Willard.

 

[TRest]

Hall squandering good will with the fan base.

I wanted Seton Hall but I really like Nova and Willard is going to get them in the tournament his first season there. That's a really good thing for the Big East.

 

[gsmooth]

Nova is silencing the home court fans of Seton Hall.

Yeah it is - as much as SH is a nice story, it's better to have Nova back and relevant after the Neptune disaster. They're walloping them.

We honestly should too - that team is brittle.

Scratch SH as a possible loss, enter Nova. I think we take both. 19-1 here we come.

 

[aceboon]

Never been super high on Willard but if he has Nova looking this competent already with a just ok portal haul then he should really get it rolling once he mixes in high level HS recruits with immediate portal help. This Nova team isn't close to as talented the team Neptune had in '23-'24 but they look miles better.

 

[AllHusky]

If rumors of increased $$ for SHU and Holloway to go get players are true, they might be a couple of portals and a couple of 4 stars away from turning the corner.

Got to think Nova really did their due diligence on this one after the Neptune disaster. I'd leave it to their admin not to screw it up twice in a row.
