Out-hustled, out-played.
EDIT: 3 straight losses. Not good for the BE.

Kalkbrenner was getting destroyed by his man. I hate to say it, but Nebraska picked them apart

For the last week or so, I've heard Kalk has been sick. Don't know if it's true or just an excuse.
FWIW, even Jays fans are calling him soft.
Kaluma has underperformed. Also hilarious that after getting zero points from their bench last game, they get zero from everyone except a guy averaging 3 ppg who went off for 16. Their bench is random and all over the place - no depth. Starting lineup is darn good but wonder if they’re hitting a mini-wall already

Lol.
The Big East will get a minimum of 4 teams. More likely 5-6. It's the fourth best conference by advanced metrics still.
It's just that the B10, SEC, and B12 are better top to bottom, especially with Nova down.

At the beginning of the season I figured we had good odds for 4-6 NCAAT teams...that may not come to fruition

Yea, the league looks like poop, but 4-5 teams will get in.

Imagine what Baylor fans said after Marquette spanked them.
The league will get:
UConn
Creighton
and then 2-4 combination of Xavier/Marquette/St. John's/Seton Hall/Villanova/PC. More likely teams at the front. More likely 3 of those teams than 2 or 4.
Yeah this is an odd year so far. Some very good teams but none that look dominant (IMO, excluding UConn due to immense bias).
Deep group of good teams and yet there is a huge cliff as well.
Huge down year for the ACC and BE. Pac10 doesn’t look great either. BIG, SEC and Big 12 look great one week and not so great the next.
So will probably see some less than deserving teams get in from the P6 or a good handful of mid majors with good records but not any quality wins.

St. Johns best Nebraska so what does that say, they got beat pretty bad by Iowa State today. I think that these teams get tough to beat in league play even for us. This kind of stuff happens almost every night in CBB. Way to early to make conference and bid conclusions. North Carolina lost 3 in a row.They getting a bid? Probably.
Nova with Whitmore and possibly Moore by mid-season.. They'll be ok by BET time
St. John’s has to be in the discussion at least. Tough game today but they are still 8-1 and mid 40s KenPom. I would anticipate them finishing with somewhere around 9-10 conference wins and 18-20 overall wins so they would be right there on the bubble.

Their awful OOC schedule is going to burn them.

I think Nova is going to be fine. Whitmore is a monster and once he is healthy he is the best guard in the conference. I love seeing them suck but they have been losing close games to meh teams without one of the best players in the league.

Don't want to get into the actual thread, but at 6-3 Nebraska is now just four wins away from tying head coach Fred Hoiberg's highest season win total during his four year tenure as head coach.
It's been a cluster-show at Lincoln, but this year's team is deep: six double-digit scorers, all of which transferred within the last three offseasons.
My personal favorite is North Dakota State grad transfer Sam Greisel, a 6'7 216 point forward who is tough as nails.

Well in reality having a bunch of tournament teams in the Big East does help the 1 team we all care about. If UConn is playing 20+ games in the conference where none of those teams are in the tournament then UConn's NCAA Tournament seeding is going to suffer. And I'm sure we'd all like the Huskies to have a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Plus the NCAA payouts for each team. The more and the deeper they go the better for the league and UConn. Take every penny you can get.
