Big East OOC Thread 23/24

[Tiamat7]

Big East underperforming this year. It's early, but the middle of the BE doesn't look as good as advertised. Might push the BE from the 3rd best to 5th best conference if this continues... let's hope the BE can notch some nice wins over the next week.

On the plus side,
+The top of the conference is elite
+Split Gavitt games
+X and Nova have some nice pieces that need time to integrate
+Seton Hall isn't as bad as I thought
+Cooley is still hilarious
+I don't write off a Pitino team after two weeks

 

[AllHusky]

Nova only winner.

Butler, St. John’s, Xavier, DePaul, and Providence all lost.

27-12 (4-7).

We did split the Gavitt Games if you want a silver lining.

So UConn Indiana is for the Gavitt Games title as someone else said!!??

Man Samson Johnson barely beat North Texas, 53-52

I was all hyped for 12/23 in XL but now they seem pretty pathetic

North Texas is actually a good team. Johnnies are going through it a little bit right now with a new team but it's Rick Pitino, he'll get them better. I'll be at that game too and in no way will it be a walkover, looking forward to it.

yeah agree it was a good battle between even teams.

the jonnies, picked to finish 5th in the big east, duking it out with mean green, picked to finish 6th in the american.

massive cbi implications on the line!

Holloway and Copeland both played at Seton Hall, Copeland is a former assistant at the school, and they both, reportedly, ran in the same circles, making the confrontation even stranger...

It actually makes it make much more sense but wildly unprofessional from Holloway. Seton Hall president and Val Ackerman need to reprimand him.

 

[auror]

Really good game from Dontrez Styles as Georgetown beats Mount St Mary's somewhat comfortably.

 

[HuskyFich]

Wonder what the response would be if Hurley did this? The guillotine on live stream in front of the Bristol company’s doorstep?

 

[gsmooth]

Curious to know what pissed off Shaheen.

 

[shizzle787]

Creighton, Seton Hall, and Georgetown are all winners.

30-12 (4-7).

 

[Jimdish255]

Georgetown down 10 to nobody.
Johnnies up early on Utah.

Georgetown pulls off a heroic comeback. Jayden Epps had 14 points in the last 2ish minutes to force OT against .............. American University

 

[tykurez]

DePaul is a low major team and needs to be jettisoned from the Big East

 

[REB1094]

Georgetown completes the comeback in OT and steals one at home against American University (286 Kenpom). They lost this game last year, so the Cooley era is showing some early progress against their rival!

 

[SoFla Steve]

Wow, G'town beats American in OT, 88-83

 

[superjohn]

Johnnies look good but Soriano went down hard, hopefully he'll be ok.

 

[REB1094]

St Johns went ballistic late and looks like they're going to take down Utah. Up 17 with about 3.5 minutes left. Really solid win for them. Utah isn't elite but they are a good team

 

[Jimdish255]

OK no major embarrassments today. Whew!
Tomorrow is a seeding game for us.

 

[shizzle787]

UConn, Xavier, St. John’s, Providence, and Georgetown are all winners.

DePaul lost.

35-13 (7-7).

The league has six losses against non-P5 programs, and DePaul owns three of them.
