I have posted elsewhere that I heard Seton Hall has NIL issues. Roster looks like it. I like Holloway, but he will jump off his next tournament appearance if the Hall doesn’t find a way to compete for talent.

Edit: I would not be surprised if he puts his name out for AAC and A10 jobs next offseason if SHU doesn’t step up. No reason to kill his career with multiple losing seasons at a school that is not trying to compete.

UConn, Xavier, Providence, Villanova, and Butler are all winners.

Seton Hall lost.

46-18 (13-10).
 
Nova’s players look very muscular and strong out there. They could be a problem.
 
Through Friday:

Torvik:

1) Big 12
2) Big East
3) Big 10
4) SEC
5) ACC
6) Pac 12

KenPom:

1) Big 12
2) SEC
3) Big East
4) Big 10
5) Pac 12
6) ACC

Both are still leaning relatively heavily on the preseason component until 10 or so games played, by which point it is less of a factor, so we can't read too much into them yet (technically it is 15 games, but by 10, the preseason impact should be fairly muted).

Yes funny, but think about it, in the past we’ve had our share of skinny malnourished looking players that we usually said “they just need to gain 20lbs over the summer, both big men and guards. Hurley has gotten away from that getting bigger and stronger guards, but Nova's game plan was bully, back down in the lane, make a layup, or go to the line or kick out for 3. It’s what they always do. In the OBE Pitt used to do the same thing.

The difference is at the bottom. Depaul and Georgetown are dreadful by ratings.
 
Georgetown (-11.5) is down 40-39 at halftime. Home game against Jackson St

11.5 is a pretty crazy line for them. The last time they won a game by 11+ was last season against 3-29 Green Bay, over 1 year ago

Georgtown is absolutely dreadful, 13-26 from 3, and 53 percent overall and beat Jackson st by only 7. They may go winless in big east

They’ll win a few in the Big East. Cooley isn’t a great coach, but he’s pretty good.

How much of his pretty goodness had to do with the buy in on his home town, local boy makes good, people of the people schtick? I may be totally wrong even thinking about it. But he's in the now, with more resources, so we'll see.
 
DePaul would finish in the bottom quarter of the A10. It is going to be a long season in Lincoln Park.
 
Surprised that DePaul was actually favored in their game against Northern Illinois. Easy money. Mid-major program that needs to clean house. Just awful.
 
.-.
Is there anything the conference can do about DePaul? Have them commit to spending more on a coach or something? They have two winning seasons in the 19 years since they joined the big east.
 
St. John's and Georgetown are winners.

DePaul lost.

48-19 (13-10).

I can't really explain the conference this year as we are doing well against the P5 but massively underperforming against the cupcakes.
 
How many games does DePaul win this season? 3? Maybe 4?

They finished the soft part of their schedule with 1 win... Chicago St. at home, Georgetown at home... Who else do they have a chance to beat?
