Big East March ‘26 Thread

DePaul with a nice win today against Marquette away. They control their destiny for the 5th spot and look like they might get it. Villanova at home with now Hodege out for nova and Butler at home. They could even finish 4th if things fall right with Seton Hall. Pretty impressive season for DePaul based on being a cellar dweller for so long in the big east.

If you had told me a few years ago that a Shaka Marquette team was going to put up 14 in a half against DePaul, I would have never believed you. Crazy how bad a season they’re having.

DePaul currently in 5th place and inside track for a first round bye for BE tourney. Who would have thought?
 
The records for teams in our conference are actually hurt by the true round robin format

They have to play the best teams twice, every year

DePaul, Creighton, & Providence could all legitimately finish 9-11 for the year, tied for 5th.

Heck of a year so far for DePaul, nice to see.

DePaul swept Creighton by a total of 2 points and Providence swept DePaul.

Providence would get themselves a bye and give UConn the #1 seed.

Slick Rick trying to infiltrate the Boneyard. He’s getting desperate.

I don’t care that it’s close to zero. As long as blue is showing there, Providence has as good of a chance as anyone to still come in last place.

You actually need to root for Providence. I mean like, wear the cheerleading outfit. To church.

A Providence tie or passing in the standings of Creighton gets UConn the BE #1 seed in the event of a regular season first place tie.

Interesting that it gives Creighton just a 39% chance @ Butler on Wednesday

If Creighton won that game and St. John’s wins both of theirs, we would get the 2 right?

Providence would still have to lose a game.

They play GTown and Marquette—bottom two of the league.

I think that’s the only scenario where SJ gets the 1 seed (assuming we beat Marquette).

Lol, that scenario involves us losing to Marquette so I'll pass

Me. I have believed that if DePaul ever got their act together they have the geography and resources to be a very formidable program as they have been in the past. There is a final four history and recruiting footprint that is better than most. And they do matter in Chicago. It will be interesting where they go from here.

When were they last in the final 4? In the 1970’s I believe. You do realize that was 50 years ago

Dallas Comegys remembers...
 
Sellers getting BEPOTW over AK is an absolute joke in my opinion. Sellers had 27 points and TWO boards a game. Empty points in wins over bottom half of the league. AK went out and dominated Hall and was massive in D and O against SJU
Give me his 18.5/4/2 or Tarris 15/11 over a 27/2 stat line when you consider competition every day of the week

I have no issues with that. Jaylin Sellers was big time against Xavier and Creighton. I would love to have a Jaylin Sellers on our UConn team. He can be given the ball and told "go get a basket" with his shot creation and his dribble drives to the basket. Besides Silas, UConn doesn't have that type of player. Maybe Tarris in a sense he can be given the ball in the post and take his defender 1-on-1.

Oh just stop it. They have had it 2 winning season in the last 20 years. This year will be the 3rd. They haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since 2004. They were drawing an average of 1700 fans/game at home last year. And that was UP from 980 the year before. Nobody in Chicago cares about De Paul basketball.
