Big East OOC 2.0

[Friarsnoop]

I don't know how much of a boost the "we were missing a guy" excuse gives team in the Selection Committee room. Creighton can obviously point out that there is no way they lose to both, or probably either, of BYU and ASU if they have Kalkbrenner.

I am having trouble coming up with an example of where the Selection Committee gave a team a big mulligan because it was missing someone important for a few games. Can you think of one?

Not a player injury, but the committee gave Syracuse a break a few years ago when Boeheim was suspended and they went 5-4 or 4-5. The chair of the committee said on CBS that they would judge Syracuse by the team that would be playing in the NCAA tournament (i.e. with Boeheim).

Solid Big East OOC matchup today at 7 on ESPN+ with DePaul visiting Duquesne.

At 7-3, Duquesne already has more wins than last year and their losses have all been against good teams (Kentucky, Marshall, New Mexico State).

Don't have ESPN+ so I'm stuck watching the Seton Hall/Drexel bloodbath

Duquesne vs DePaul isn't any better than Seton Hall vs Drexel

 

[REB1094]

Seton Hall was up 31 with 12 and a half minutes to go. Now up 13 with just under 4 minutes left

Definitely too little too late, but Drexel is on a 24-6 run. Dang

 

[AzHusky]

Wonder if Duquesne/Seton Hall would be a good game to watch?

81-37 (20-27).

Seton Hall wins; DePaul loses.

Three games left.

Disappointing year for the big east

Disappointing year for the big east

Sometimes a good mid-major beats a weak P6 team. Ole Miss is an SEC bubble team, and they went down to UCF tonight at home. Is the SEC having a disappointing year too?

Not by the criteria of looking at a Conference's record against all OOC opponents or all other P5 opponents, which is the predominant basis for your comments about Big East OOC performance.

This is a certain variety of, "I like to be sometimes" posting that leaves people wary that you might be conning them whenever you offer a strong opinion either here or another forum.

I regularly wonder why a guy like you plays around with his credibility, reputation, or chance to influence or improve things you claim to care about or find important?

I think i was expecting the big east to be really good this year…we are ok… but not what i was expecting… if not for uconn the big east would be bad

Not great, but if you discount DePaul and Georgetown, they really only have 3 losses to teams that won't be competing for an NCAA bid. Siena over Hall, and Temple and Portland over Nova.
