Big East February '26 Thread

[Frenemy]

Watching the the SH Creighton game in the background. Hall in control for pretty much the entire second half. I get preoccupied on YouTube with a funny cat and dog video when Hall is up 67-58 with like 1:25 left in the game or something. I turn back to the game and Creighton is running into the locker room celebrating a win. WTF happened? How did they blow that?

Definitely only a 3 bid league now, unless one of these disappointments gets their poop together and steals a bid with a shock BE tourney victory.

a fight going on in the garden.

St. Johns struggling with Xavier. We really were their Superbowl.

13:50 to go, Refs now imposing their will on the game to help the Johnnies. X can’t breath on a player without a foul being called.

 

[MJKI]

Xavier being absolutely mauled at the rim without any fouls called

This. Just insane.
Xavier: 20 fouls
Team Physicality: 10 fouls

Total joke.

Lots of blown bunnies for X. Lots of dunks for the Raging Pitinos.

Idk what slick Rick says to the refs to sweet talk them, must be some good stuff

 

[MJKI]

That last call on Carroll was horrendous. That’s happened 14 times already this half and not been called

 

[SwingDog]

Xavier definitely not getting a fair whistle at MSG.

 

[blkknight1]

The St. John’s whistle is a joke at this point. Sucks to have to play the other teams and the refs.

 

[3rdbass]

Xavier showing more physicality out there than us for sure against St. John's.

 

[bendm]

I want SJU to lose again but not to Xavier that doesn’t help us or the BE. I want a borderline Q2 to beat them so they can get bumped up to a Q1 team

 

[SoFla Steve]

Foul discrepancy is now 25-13.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

I want SJU to lose again but not to Xavier that doesn’t help us does it? I want whoever beats them to become a Q1 team. Who’s ranked 77?

I don’t really care. If we take care of our own business from here on out, we will be fine.

 

[TRest]

Don’t take the Johnies in your tourney brackets. That whistle won’t travel.

 

[DCKembaFan]

It's wild how big a foul disparity there is in this game. St. John's knocked a Xavier driver to the baseline with no call then immediately got free throws for a body bump foul on the other end

 

[John]

They’re the NBE version of Pitt.

We see the best version of everyone in this conference

 

[LStudfellow]

Where the heck was this effort and moxie from Xavier against us? They look like a completely different team in this game, in a good way.

And no, it doesn't bother me that we had a walk over last week, as we haven't had many in conference until the Creighton/Xavier combo. But still... they are showing they have some fight tonight, for sure.

 

[blkknight1]

One of the things you notice about. Xavier they have multiple guys that can handle

Refs really are in Johnnie’s pockets.
