Creighton and Butler win.

56-21 (15-10).

Big East is 2-0 in Big East-Big 12 challenge so far.

 

[GampelGladiator]

Love the 2-0 start on night one...especially since only Marquette looks like a lock in the other 9 matchups.

November 30 Creighton at Oklahoma State
December 1 Iowa State at DePaul

Marquette should win but it's hard to call any game between 2 top 20 teams a lock

You're right...fair enough.

AH! Don't jinx it!

This could be a rough night in the BE/B12 challenge. Really need the win against Kansas to keep it competitive/pull out the overall win.

We are hoping UConn can do what Marquette did to Kansas. However, Kansas in a pumped up Allen Field House is different than playing them in Hawaii on a neutral court. Plus, Marquette plays that pressure scrambling D that emphasizes overplaying the passing lanes. It forces steals and deflections and it drove Kansas nuts. UConn's D is good, but they don't play that style on D.

Holy cripes. If the Big East gets 4 more wins I'll be pleasantly surprised

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Logic tells me there is no way Xavier wins this game.

 

[Jimdish255]

We're cooked against Breeding. He'll take our key guys right out.

 

[bluestreak]

The Johnies and WVa game is a real groaner so far. Neither team can buy a basket.

They spent all their money on NIL

 

[Jimdish255]

Xavier is terrible. Houston doesn't look great but wow.

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

You generally want to wait until the first media timeout.

You’ve become my favorite poster. Love your work

 

[shizzle787]

UConn, Xavier, and DePaul lost.

St. John’s won.

57-24 (16-13).

Big East and Big 12 tied 3-3.

Kyle Neptune should be fired tomorrow. He has a team full of seniors/5th year seniors and three guys who should be all league and he can't beat any of the mid-major teams in Philadelphia. The guy can't coach at all and can't recruit. Nova better fire this guy before he really damages the brand.

 

[kobe]

one of the two supposed elite programs in the big east is the 6th best college basketball team in philadelphia.

They've also won more national Championships than Cincinnati has won tournament games in the last 7 seasons.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Yeah, but what could be more compelling than beating Howard in overtime?

 

[How Sway?!]

If you're 6-0 but all of your games happen on the Ocho, did they really happen?

 

[EnochRoot]

Nova’s now 0-3 on their current tour of the other schools in Philly this season.

Ouch.

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Ollie won a national title. Neptune can’t win against other teams from Philly.

Had to wait until today before endorsing this comment.

 

[UConnSwag11]

This includes us. Two more chances for some great wins.

Don’t worry, they play Philadelphia High next week
