Big East OOC 2.0

Someone on this board was really touting Judah Mintz last year and he may have been right.
He's only a freshman, playing his fifth game, on a big stage, and showed he has the ability to play anywhere.

Good night for the league, but the Big East needs to be stringing good nights together.

The people who make the decisions won't remember what happened in either game. Just who won.

There are some lines from these teams.

Joe Girard has 4 points on 1-10 shooting while not playing defense

David Jones had a solid game at first glance. 18 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists. He shot 7-25 and was 3-15(!!!) from 3

We were screaming at the tv for Anderson to take jones out or at least Calhoun him (never gonna happen) - he was killing St. John’s with all the early shot clock airball/brick 3s. I wonder if he’s generally not good, just got volume on a bad team before or he just played awful last night?

Really enjoyed the SJU chaos otherwise. Curbelo is a guy I wanted to essentially buy low on (as 6th man type). He was excellent.

And New York's team(s) couldn't even draw 6,000 fans.
 
St. John’s is in ourleague and Cuse is not. Otherwise is there a reason to hate Cuse more? Nope. This like someone telling me to root for the Red Soxbecause they are in the AL East. Yeah sure I will. Still remember the abuse by St. John’s fans in the Garden when they beat us in BE Championship game years back.
My take is that our offense is more disciplined, we have better shooters, but they have a toughness and rebounding could be a problem. Lots of fouls and it’s no cakewalk. Soriano will be a big obstacle down there for Sanogo, Clingan better be tough that day. Hope I’m wrong.

I stand by my 41-year-old-dude-at-the-JCC Girard comparison I made a few nights ago. Guy occasionally gets hot, strokes from 30 feet, but can’t hit layups, air balls four footers, and plays bad D. I was that guy at the JCC pre-broken ankle.
Expand ...

Girard was hot as hell in the first half for the Cuse against Richmond then he was basically invisible. He’s not a good basketball player unless he’s making shots he has no other impact.

Nice win for the Johnnies. The Orange look like the typical JB coached team it’s simple.

5 games tonight.

you should begin each new thread with a link to your original post.

"Anyway, the goal is to get 7 teams cleanly in the field (no first four). In order to do so, the league would do well to win 100 games OOC. 100-21 is the goal to attain."

October Big East OOC thread

This is where we will keep track of the Big East OOC overall record and record against the P5. We play a total of 121 games as a league in the OOC; 120 vs. Division 1 opponents and Seton Hall thought it would be cool to schedule a Division 2 school. Anyway, the goal is to get 7 teams cleanly...

If the BigEast puts 7 teams in tourney I'll quit Arby's for 12 months.

Not exactly true. The NET does factor in margin of victory indirectly through offensive and defensive efficiency ratings, as does KENPOM, which is also used by the NCAA Selection Committee for selection and seedings. The Big East has quite a few "attaboy" losses of under 5 points that will help in the computer rankings.

Rooting for your league helps raise the profile and ranking of the league which benefits uconn directly. The opposite is true in the mlb standings, so your looking at it kind of backwards imo

Interestingly enough, Kenpom has #32-35 all BE teams. Nova, SJU, Xavier, Seton Hall in that order. Creighton and UConn in the top 20

I know Kenpom 1-64 is not how seeding is picked, but for simplicity's sake..that currently puts 6 teams comfortably in the tournament with Marquette (#64) and Providence (#67) as "on the bubble"

SJU is out of quality OOC games. Villanova could see UNC this weekend. Seton Hall plays Kansas. Xavier has West Virginia and Florida which are decent games.

The BE lost a lot of games it shouldn't have so far, but it could still send a lot of teams into March! These early season resume boosters can really come in handy as we've learned the last 2 seasons

Cuse board never disappoints.
They're all trashing Joe Girard and Boeheim but my two favorite takes...

Judah Mintz is an Allen Iverson clone and St. John's is a top 10 team.

The AI quote reminded me of our very own “Polley to Duncan Robinson” comparison.
Before Duncan got paid & started stinking (or playing more within who Robinson is)

The 64 and 67 KenPom teams will be nowhere near the bubble. The bubble teams are in the low 40s

League profiles go up and and down as teams and coaches change. The ACC rode high a very long time, the SEC was a joke. In general I would root for a BE team against other conferences but I have acquaintances who are Pitt and St.John’s people (Pitt’s fans suck) and we now hate Pitt and Cuse cause they’re out but should root for St.John’s? Their fans are obnoxious and just as bad. Just don’t buy into this conference kumbaya thing. For me it’s individual matchups for who I root against based on past history. Who do I dislike most? Duke. Many are tied for #2 but I just don’t hate Cuse the way so many here do.
 
Just turned on the TV and Georgetown down 4 against American w/ 8 minutes remaining.

The 2-2 American are ranked 301st in the nation.

Akok (14p, 6r, 3-4 from three) and Spears (13 p, 5a, 2s) have been easily the team's best players.

Does Ewing last the full season?

I feel like no matter their record, Patriot teams play such heady ball.

I would say Georgetown has given up on their basketball program but they certainly don't pay like they've given up. Ewing's base salary is $4 million per year and from what I gather if they fire him during this season he'll get his $4 million and another $4 million for each of the next 3 seasons.

They've let John Thompson's kid run their program into the ground, it's all really strange.

It's past time for them to have moved on from Thompson's tree, both family and former players.
 
georgetown has gotten three steals since i tuned in - each time they have immediately thrown the ball back to the other team. unconscionable.
