Big East Games Thread - Feb 25

8 straight for Creighton. Incredible stuff from Kalk and Ashworth, they've really been incredible all season. 35 and 12 for Kalk, 23/6/6 for Ashworth

Ashworth is 81-83 at the ft line this season.

PC personnel looks every bit of a good mid major.

Let me put it this way. If UConn absolutely had to win 3 games, but got to pick its opponents from among the Big East teams, which three teams would you pick? Seton Hall, DePaul and Providence are my picks, and DePaul is the team I am least sure about.

It doesn't, but people on this site are dumb

Seriously? You think it’s dumb to be trying to win a Big East championship as opposed to one of ever so many computer metrics looking a tad worse?

Don’t mind him, he’s on the spectrum.

Yes. If we win out that would include a win over Creighton and we'd catch them in the Big East standings. Maximizing the number of Big East teams in the NCAA tournament and thus more money is far more valuable

I keep expecting to see Zugic do something special. Still waiting on that.

When he committed cbb media reacted like Creighton brought in a ringer. Late clearance but you would expect more at this point with all of the hype.

The fact you even think this is an acceptable comment to make says all I need to know about you

Yes. Yes I do.

And a 22 or 23 win Creighton team as an opponent is a lot better on selection Sunday than a Creighton team with one win less that lost to a tomato can like Providence.

Ideally both Creighton and Providence do well in their remaining games. Providence is near the 75 cliff for road Q1. Crieghton is near the top 30 Q1 cliff for home games.

The conference having over 25% of the teams in the 80s in NET (Providence, Georgetown, Butler) is not ideal. That's the annoying spot where it's kinda hard to win there on the road, but you only get a Q2 win for it.
