Big East OOC 2.0

[SoFla Steve]

X goes down. BE now 0-3 today. Not good.

 

[scotty0330]

Xavier’s bigs were nothing short of terrible
Today. That is not a good Duke team but big east save for Uconn and creighton has not impressed….

 

[superjohn]

wtf is going on with Villanov? even post JC, we did damage. they have plenty of players back from the final 4 team

Jay Wright is no longer their coach, their two best players haven't played this year, and they don't have a point guard.

 

[shizzle787]

46-20 (8-14).

Nova, DePaul, and Xavier all lose.

Nova may not be a tourney team.

 

[Jay-Bone]

They never developed some of the high ranked recruit fringe options from the last few years like Trey Patterson, Longino.

Also that 5 star Bryan Antoine never saw the light of day for 3 years for whatever reason.

46-20 (8-14).

Nova, DePaul, and Xavier all lose.

Nova may not be a tourney team.

If Whitemore plays soon and they play well and finish top 4 in Big East, they'll get an injury credit.

 

[Blue Idiaco]

How many OOC top 20 wins will BE get this year? And they may only have two teams in the top 20 in conference. Gonna be tough to get more than 3 bids?

 

[SoFla Steve]

Iowa State knocks off #1 UNC 70-65 !!!!

 

[Blue Idiaco]

Iowa St is #42 in KenPom. UNC is now 21.

 

[shizzle787]

47-22 (9-16).

UConn wins; Seton Hall and Butler lose.

Bad day for the league.

 

[shizzle787]

50-22 (9-16).

St. John's, Georgetown, and Providence all take care of business.

 

[shizzle787]

51-22 (9-16).

Marquette wins.

 

[auror]

Xavier Gonzaga is the last chance for Xavier to get a marquee top 25 win in nonconf.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

So…three of Oregon’s starters are out today and a total of six scholarship players are healthy. Walk-on Gabe Reichel started.

Couldn’t be any clearer that this is a must-win for Nova, but Nova down 23-13 with 9 to go in the 1st.

 

[auror]

If Nova loses today Wright probably comes out of retirement.

 

[How Sway?!]

Are Nova fans turning on their coach yet?

 

[Chin Diesel]

Are Nova fans turning on their coach yet?

They are learning what every fan base learns after a massively successful college basketball coach leaves. By the time of change it's more about the coach than the name on front of the jersey or the names on the back of the jerseys.

Hoping that Duke is not immune to that transition too.

They'll find out. Some find out quicker than others.

Torn between wanting Oregon to win so that W looks better and hope Nova turns it around in conference play, and wanting Nova and the BE to win today..

Neptune looks helpless as HC. Villanova can't let him burn too much time "learning on the job" before making a move.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Oregon beats Villanova

 

[REB1094]

Oregon takes it over Nova 74-67. Will Richardson took over late - within the last 2 minutes he had a free throw to go up 1, a layup to go up 3, and a jumper to go up 5 on back-to-back-to-back possessions

Announcer said that Oregon played this game with just SIX scholarship players

Villanova drops to 0-3 at PK85 to take 8th place, and 2-5 overall.

 

[scotty0330]

Neptune is doing his best Ollie impression. 2-5…I know he is down his two best players but even against cupcakes nova as looked shaky at best and overwhelmed at worst

 

[shizzle787]

51-23 (9-17).

Nova loses to Oregon.

Nova is responsible for more than 20% of the league's losses but only 4% of the league's wins.
