Big East Games Thread - March 1

What does that even mean?? We were the #9 seed in the BET and after winning it we got a 3 seed in the NCAA. This DIRECTLY refutes the point that was made.

So WTH are you talking about??? Recency had EVERYTHING to do with our seed that year

We were a 9 seed because up until this year that was the deepest conference ever In college basketball.

We had a much better regular season that year than this year, and were a higher projected seed going into the BE tournament.

Then in the BE tournament we beat a 6 seed, a 1 seed, a 3 seed, and a 4 seed.

Maybe take some time and see if you can puzzle this out.

Yeah but this New Big East is not like the Old Big East in 2011 as far as being a power conference.

We’ll see……that team was 9-9 in conf then rolled the BET and got a 3 seed. Not saying that high of a seed, but win out (incl over STJ in the final) I’d wager we get a 4

But there is a LOT of wood to chop between here and there obviously

Kemba isn't walking through that door.

And NIL and the Portal was non existent (at least in those names)

And Pitino looks like his dad was KFC's Colonel Sanders...

Now St. John's is 6th ranked in the AP poll so when Bracketology updates they will be a 2 seed. Our realistic ceiling is a 6 seed but who wants to go up against UConn in March in a win or die game. We are still on a 12-0 roll!

Every time I think Villanova can do something, I remember who is on the sideline

BET or bust for Villanova

Oh for f. U. C. K sakes this Providence - DePaul won't end. I don't care who wins, I just want the game to end in regulation so it doesn't spill over to the UConn game.

UConn game delayed due to roof leak.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Providence loses at home to . . . DePaul !!! Scored 52 pts in the 2nd half.

 

[REB1094]

Refs just called a shooting foul because DePaul intentionally fouled up 3 and the PC shooter threw up a shot right before the contact. Good call, that’s a shooting foul 100% of the time

No worries, as Bensley Joseph misses the first 2. Intentionally missed the third, refs inadvertently blew the whistle (looked like the loose ball was going to PC), possession arrow goes to DePaul and game ends

Yeah I just saw that. I don't know if I should feel relieved or be concerned.

 

[housekeys]

The BE has a ref problem. Some teams benefit from a ref problem, others suffer. UConn? Guess.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Tonight's feel good story.

PC used up its karma with Fonts getting his point on the board in the Friars' second-to-last home game ... against UConn.

How the hell does a referee “anticipate” that the ball isn’t going to hit the rim? Guy couldn’t think outside the box and just wait for the ball to not hit the rim before blowing the whistle. BE refs suck.

It's baffling because that ref who called that is usually very good

There is no good answer other than he made a massive unacceptable mistake in the most important possession of the game

It’s DePaul and Providence so at the end of the day not a big deal, but imagine if that was a game for teams contending for real BET seeding? Jeez

 

[Hunt for 7]

Just fyi if the game is on fox then you can download the app and watch on that. But I agree that game would not end so I had the app tee’d up on the iPad just in case. But the roof leak saved the day……for some.

 

[REB1094]

St Johns/Marquette is (obviously) fun so far. Marquette just went ahead 2 after a Kam Jones 3 and Chase Ross punched down a fast break windmill

 

[3rdbass]

Marquette playing well. Speeding up the game and up 8 and then St. John's scores the next 8.

 

[87Xfer]

Refs are letting these guys play

 

[gsmooth]

Before the UConn game, I will say "we are Marquette". I am pulling for them

 

[Hurleyman216]

St. John’s gets away with A LOT of pushing and checking that I don’t think is gonna fly in the NCAA tournament. They get a lot of offensive rebounds not from being in the right spot, but from clearing guys out and not getting called for it. RJ Lewis is a nice player, but they’re really not anything great of offense besides him. We should be able to take these guys out if we can both get to the BET finals.

 

[3rdbass]

Marquette hanging in there up 2 with under 12. Jones is shooting it well this game. I can't believe he is a 30.5% shooter from 3 this year. This game is super physical.

On rebounds, especially defensive rebounds, they are over the top (no calls) pushing guys out of position (no calls) and only if they hit the hands of Marquette player rebounding they got one whistle. Off ball calls will be in the NCAA not Big East
