Big East OOC Thread 23/24

[MJKI]

Butler heads to 2OT against Cal.

butler trying really hard to blow this game against a really bad Cal team. Would ruin any OOC momentum they had

Butler survives and actually wins by 8, close to the spread of 12.

Watching Creighton play and Louisville play, I'm shocked it's the same sport. Creighton made 11 3s in the 1st half, Louisville 0 with 2 min left.

If Kenny Payne is still the coach tomorrow there's something really strange going on down in Louisville.

 

[phillionaire]

Wow Louisville is putrid. Down 16 at the half to DePaul?!?

There's a good chance that he knows where the bodies are buried. Literally.

UConn, Marquette, and Creighton are now #4-#6 in KenPom.

Why is Villanova a 4.5 point favorite against UCLA? Feels like they should be a dog after 3 straight losses, including ugly ones to St. Joes and Drexel.

8:00 to go in the half and it's 13-12 Nova.
You know that saying....can't hit the broad side of a barn????

The CBB equivalent of Iowa Rutgers in FB earlier this year

Damn Tyler Burton can't buy a bucket

College basketball coaches call so many panic TO's. Cincinnati's Miller calls a timeout after Xavier's Olivari made a rushed, floating 3 where he almost traveled before he shot the ball. I would let Olivari take those shots all game. So instead of brushing off a lucky Xavier shot, Miller sends his team the message they are in trouble.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I will add that the referees in the Xavier/Cincinnati game are terrible, but at least they are terrible both ways. They fall for every flop and over-reaction.

This aged well.

I am not a huge fan of Texas this season, and Indiana is not looking like as good a win as I had hoped either. Stuff happens.

It is a fun feeling to see a Depaul team that could go 0-20 in the Big East cruise to a win over Louisville.

@kobe love that you guys went back to those Jordan jerseys from the Kmart days. Those are tough. St. John’s needs to follow suit.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This Xavier team takes a lot of bad shots.

I’m doing my best to root for Nova which is a challenge given how obnoxious their fans are but it’s unclear to me what these cats are trying to do on the offensive end.

This center for UCLA looks like he’s 8 feet tall.

I can only assume this game comes down to a travesty of a call from O’Connell.

Too bad it’s not at UCLA. You could drive over and hope to get kicked out.

Joey B’s in town. Traffic is a mess. I’m not going anywhere.

 

[superjohn]

I wonder if Cincinnati will ever beat Xavier again.

 

[superjohn]

Wes Miller looks like Joe Lunardi.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

So an undefeated Big 12 team loses to a school with the 10th best record in their church league. Just can't predict CBB I guess

 

[gtcam]

Will we see Kobe on here after losing to a sub .500 NBE team
Cinci is going to be so competitive in their new football league.
