Big East February '26 Thread

Everyone seems to think Nova is a lock for the tournament, and I'm not sure why.

The power of the white suit cannot be denied.

You wear a white suit at his age and people start confusing you with George Burns.

(look it up kids)

If he wears that for the BE finals we could be in trouble….,although I’m sure it will be stained by then

Nova not doing us any favors.

48-18 is absurd

0 for 24 was absurd

 

[gsmooth]

Oh no. Get up Hodge. I fear the worst because that was a non-contact injury.

Looked very much like an Achilles unfortunately

SJU completing their own NET 30 beatdown.

A good reminder of why one can’t play the “UConn crushed x, so that means they would thrash anyone that x beat” game.

You blew it, Villanova.

OK GTown, you’re up.

Does the beat down UConn gave SJU seem more impressive now ? After this SJU vs Nova ..... beating.

 

[gsmooth]

I think so. That was

UConn's A game is better than any other Big East teams' A game . However, UConn is no where near 30 points better than St. John's. Those 2 teams are much more closely aligned.

Predictable outcome. Matt Norlander of CBS Sports said the St. John's loss to UConn might tank their season. And I said no way. I figured Pitino would use it as motivation and get his guys to rally the troops. He's done that stuff his entire career.

GTown without KJ Lewis isn't doing squat. But Seton Hall at home on Senior Day plays St. John's has a chance. Seton Hall will be playing for a chance to get off the bubble and into the NCAAT.

So true about the transitive property, it doesn't work well with college basketball.

Their losses are all Q1 aside from 1 and they won enough games against mediocre teams to be firmly ahead in WAB and good enough in the predictives. 9-6 in the first 2 quads. They'd have to lose in the first round of the BET by 40, and would still probably make it because bubble teams generally have losing or .500 records in the first 2 quads.

Or Colonel Sanders

Yes, the Big Ten literally the day after the St John's/UConn game had their top 15 matchup between Michigan State and Purdue on Peacock

Are MSU and Purdue the top two teams in the B1G?

 

[Scrutineer]

The BIG and BIG12 also play games on peacock…

With their preseason top two teams in a game for first place on the next to last weekend of the season?

 

[Scrutineer]

The Big East is on Peacock because Fox was moving them out of FS1 slots that were already sold to the B10 and B12. NBC and WBD were willing to pay for content, otherwise, it's probably on FS2 or ESPN+.

What about TNT or TRU TV?
