Big East January '26 Thread - Take Two

Creighton following up an L to Gtown with a W against us would be just classic.

Creighton following up an L to Gtown with a W against us would be just classic.

Creighton does not play good enough defense to beat us.

Lewis was about to dribble into a pretty clean look for 3 from the top of the key, Cooley didn't need a timeout there

 

[superjohn]

Creighton wins.

 

[aceboon]

Lewis was gonna get a way better look from 3 if they just played on than what he got out of the timeout, terrible timing by Cooley

 

[HW611]

If Cooley goes, Georgetown may have to throw the bank at Halloway

He's been really impressive at GMU. May be too early though.

Tough loss for the Hoyas. A controversial call at the end of regulation that was ruled no basket was like pouring salt on a wound for them.

In this case it might actually be real, despite that being a troll account. Or at least pieces of it

Check out Roger Rubin’s column in Newsday

Don’t look too much into Providence, they’re very talented but horribly coached so motivation likely dictates how they play on a given night. Remember that they beat St. John’s on the road before our game.

That Scott Hughes account is a known troll account, none of the details he tweeted are in the reports of the firing in either the Newsday or Post articles

Textbook definition of lack of institutional control...

“It’s out of my hands. All I was told was four days ago, look for another general manager,” Pitino said. “They said to me, don’t ask any questions. It’s really not a big deal. What’s a big deal is making sure that we don’t lose anything. But that’s a university decision, I’ll abide by it. They didn’t ask for my opinion and I didn’t give it.

If you're aware of legitimate news sources that don't just make things up, then there's no reason to post ones that are talking out of their you know what.

Highly variable.

I think Creighton kind of sucks. I think their defense sucks, and they look slow, without good enough shooting to compensate.

McDermott is just doing a great job, especially after losing his best player for the season.

 

[TyroneShoo]

Eyeball test so far…Providence has significant talent. They seem to refuse to defend without fouling at needless moments.
