The Georgetown line up with Supreme Cook as their post player has no chance against Soriano, Clingan, Kalkbrenner, or Dixon, and Marquette and Xavier are just better teams. I see 0-12 vs these teams. Providence with Hopkins and Carter is likely 0-14. That leaves 6 games against Seton Hall, Butler, and Depaul as the only games I think they have a chance. maybe 4-2 against that group = 4-16 BE
 
Confirmed that Soriano now has a three-point shot:

Your move, Donovan.

Georgetown is a weird roster. Just ten healthy scholarship players two of their rotation pieces is a grad transfer who was a depth piece at Western Carolina (Cam Bacote) and a former walk-on from Oregon State. (Donovan Grant).

Also, interesting that freshman Drew Fielder has already surpassed Ryan Mutombo in the depth chart (not saying Mutombo is any good, though).

Ashworth is so good man. He's a problem. 17 points and 4 assists in 18 minutes with 0 turnovers. 5/7 from 3.

That offense in general is going to be a problem. I have been very intrigued to see how Traudt looks in particular and he and Miller should provide an upgrade over Kaluma.

At what point should the Big East kick out DePaul? They provide no value to the league and haven’t really done anything since joining

Soon. If we have to, replace them with Loyola.

I am confused. Is it the school has no desire to field teams? Out here even Santa Clara makes an effort to field a team while the other RCC schools, St Mary's & USF, are always competitive. Do they just not care?

Crazy as it sounds, Brett Yormark identifies New York and Chicago as expansion opportunities for the Big 12.
 
Butler is thrashing their 2nd straight team. It's another cupcake, but it's a real good sign that they may be improved under Matta year 2. These big margins in non-conf could be difference for them being Q3 and Q2 oppt for us when all is said is done.

Their offense was a big questionmark before the season. Not so far.

Villanova and Xavier are winners.

12-1 (0-0).

Seton Hall is playing FDU but not taking it lightly. Playing with a lot of urgency The talent isn't fully there, but they're playing really hard

The amazing thing is there is so much talent in and around Chicago that DePaul should be considerably better than they have been without a whole lot of effort.
 
Milwaukee (227 Kenpom) is hanging with Providence. 4 point game after 12ish minutes. Super physical game, I have a feeling PC is eventually going to start overpowering them and pulling away

Offense isn't looking great with Dual and CFJ together against the zone. A lot of passing back and forth to each other, nobody really flashing middle to help them

Ticket Gaines (George Mason transfer) hurt his ankle pretty bad..hope he's alright

EDIT: Speaking of Dual.. he just hit a three, got a steal on the inbound, missed an open dunk, dove on the floor to get the ball, then threw it out of bounds. Not the prettiest ball

Prov / Milwaukee is about as running a game as you can see. Avg possession probably 5-10seconds it seems. Prov looks pretty good in this scenario. We definitely should not get in such a game with them. Control the pace to protect the rim. They are a lot better than I thought, but who knows if you force them into a halfcourt game.
 
Reminder: Kim English might very well be a mid coach

Providence doesn’t look impressive
