Big East February '26 Thread

Mashburn can't stand UConn.

Hurley knows it too based on his comment when he interviewed with them after the Nova game

 

[TRest]

Gus glazing Pitino from the tip off.

I have a feeling Hurley is going to have this team, in particular Tarris.

He may be in exactly the position he wants to be in from a motivational perspective. Grab that one, then flash all the media members doubting. I'm expecting a jolt going into the dance that looked a lot like that StJ game.

Is Nova gonna show up tonight screw them we will just have to beat St John’s ourselves.

He's going to have plenty of motivation because everyone will be saying we're the weakest #1 seed and some will be picking us to get bounced early I get it Duke, Arizona, and Michigan have looked more dominant but we're not chopped liver, we can beat everyone.

 

[Scoe]

This is also a golden opportunity for Nova a win here they could get into the high 20s.

If there was an English Premier League like in season transfer window, I would love to acquire Jaylin Sellers. He has skills that most players on UConn don't have, mainly dribble drive creation. Only Silas really does that for UConn.

Vaaks is the gut I want. DNP today, is he hurt?

 

[JungleLobo]

Mashburn can't stand UConn.

He’s from NYC and his kid played for Pitino Jr. for 3 years.

Makes sense.

 

[LIUCHusky]

Amen about Peacock.

Does anyone besides Val think the way to build the league's brand is to put the league's premier matchup, near the end of the season mind you, on a pay service where most people will not know how to find it?

And if they find it, will they then want to pay the then premium price to access it?

Do you really think Val had anything to do with this? Fox has the rights to Big East league games. Fox sold the rights to NBC FOR A NUMBER OF Big East games and in so doing made a nice profit in doing so.

Hopefully this is a reverse jinx but I don't see Nova having much of anything for StJ

 

[superjohn]

Looks like Pitino pushed the right buttons after the UConn slaughter. They look great tonight.

St. John's doing to Villanova what we did to them. Up big in the first half. Not a fun game to watch neutral.

 

[Scoe]

We owe Nova a beat down the next time we play them.

He has had the flu this week. He missed Wednesday's game, too, against Xavier.

Not a fun game if you are pulling for Nova either.

Shooting better than 19% tonight

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Put this one in the books. Thanks for coming out Nova.

 

[Hamms30]

Keep shooting 3's Nova! It's working!!!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

We owe Nova a beat down the next time we play them.

Why?

 

[Dibbie]

Guess we fired up SJU

 

[Scoe]

Why?

Because they are getting killed by St John’s it’s good to find motivation in future opponents

 

[uconngb]

Is Nova gonna show up tonight screw them we will just have to beat St John’s ourselves.

Apparently no

 

[KingAG]

Nova not doing us any favors.

48-18 is absurd

 

[superjohn]

This is crazy, what a massacre.
