Big East OOC Thread 23/24

[auror]

It's a brutal night for Big East OOC tonight. Butler the only bright spot. They've now climbed 34 spots in KenPom through 3 games.

Xavier is hanging around but definitely struggling with Purdue’s size. Purdue continues to not look like an elite team to me. They should really be handling a short handed Xavier team at home.

So why isn't UConn playing in this Big Ten v Big East tournament? I'm sure it's been asked and answered, but UConn is playing Jerry freakin Rice's alma-mater tomorrow night.

X played better than I expected without Freemantle, Hunter, and Djokovic. Loss is a loss, but they have something to build upon. I trust Miller.

But Nova and St John's. Pitino will somehow use it as a teachable moment.

But Nova losing to Penn? Bad look.

Butler is the only winner tonight.

St. John's, Nova, and Xavier go down.

19-6 (0-2). Terrible start for the league.

Neptune isn't the answer. He was average at Fordham.

I have faith St John's will figure it out though. Michigan is a good team. No excuse for Nova.

How is Zach Edy a POY? He is slow and has very bad baksketball skills. He is just a big Stiff who can block shots since he is so tall. He barely can move and jump with no handle or any shot. He will never make it in the NBA. Pudue is the most unathletic top team this year in College basketball. They are going to go out early the NCAA tourney again with this lineup.

28 points 10/11 Free Throws tonight

Well, you B1G guys are the historical champions of November. So, I'll defer for now.

If he could stay another year in college next season he would stay.

zero power conference wins and losses to Holy Cross, Long Beach, Penn and IPFW.

could this be the year that the A-10 takes the #1 spot amongst the smaller leagues?

OK, so your thing is you want UConn to be in a power conference for football?

Cute.

Villanova has to consider pulling the plug on Neptune sooner than later. It only takes 2 or 3 bad OOC losses for the NCAA Tournament hopes to be eliminated and the transfer portal to look like an attractive option.

 

[REB1094]

Friendly reminder that Kyle Neptune was a .500 coach in 1 season at Fordham, and then they won 25 games the first season after he left

 

[Tiamat7]

Neptune could indeed tarnish the Nova brand, much like Ollie did to UConn. (Ollie did manage to lead the team to a championship , so at least there's that.)

Very dangerous time for Nova. They need to beat Maryland on Friday.

 

[JohnnyJr]

Maybe this league will be more top heavy then we were expecting

 

[Pmurph678]

We were undefeated non-conference last year everyone was happy with Hurley at this time.

 

[SoFla Steve]

It's a shame our game overlaps with Wisky vs PeeCee. Would like to see both.

Also, I'll miss much of that great rivalry game in NY . . . Cuse hosting their nemesis, Colgate. Raiders are looking to make it three wins in a row over their orange foe!

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Not comparable. Neptune inherited a Jay Wright final four program, Hurley inherited a dumpster fire.

Is it even a rivalry at this point if the other team can't win?

 

[TyroneShoo]

Villanova was weird last night.. wouldnt stop chucking threes. They were stubborn…. And not hitting. Ya cant be both. Neptune is a fantastic guy. But, he has dudes that have proven to be very good. If he cannot get it done then he needs to go. They look occasionally out of place and disjointed. I know it is early but That is on him. Maryland on Fri.

This is his season to show something. That was not a lovely display

Xavi
Xavier kids are tough- They played Purdue well in a hostile environment

Big East offered to expand the event to include UConn, but the B1G declined.
