Big East OOC Thread 23/24

[Jimdish255]

Marquette, even with all the first half fouls, the tough Edey matchup, wins this game if they hit their shots. They'd better stay top 5.

Shaka Smart is such a great coach with class. Kudos to him and Marquette -

I love the Big East, I knew Shaka would be the perfect fit for Marquette.

You were so right!!!! Great job!!!!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

They haven't played since Sunday, but I've been really interested in how Sean Miller is building his frontcourt rotations w/ Freemantle, Hunter and Craft out.

With that, Claude is currently their only healthy returning player and is mostly playing the SF, but then their frontcourt rotations are built from their three international pickups, grad transfer Abou Ousmane (North Texas) and two freshmen.

As it stands, it looks like Miller is focusing on a lockdown D that is elite at the perimeter and the rotation of centers is making it physical down low.

Long story short, I basically have no idea how this Xavier team will look once we play them in six weeks, but their development will be fun to follow.

Creighton and Nova are winners.

Marquette loses.

40-14 (11-8).

Perhaps kyle neptune is not as horrible as many on this board suggest. It takes time to develop roles, rotation and synergies. Villanova and st johns will be very good by year end. 6 bid league and xavier could make 7

Whoa, lots of opportunities for high quality wins today

 

[87Xfer]

Nova up 1 at the half over UNC

 

[How Sway?!]

Nova up 1 at the half over UNC

Aren't they down 2?

 

[87Xfer]

You're right. I swear the gamecast I was following said 32-31 Nova, but it's actually 34-32 NC.

I'm fairly confident FAU is up 4 over Butler at half.

Davis made a 3 at the buzzer.

 

[JohnnyJr]

Has anyone watched butler this year, they seemed to have improved a bit

 

[gsmooth]

Slimmed down Eric Dixon is a problem

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Dangerous day for Big East.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Neptune will always choke. Villanova is coming apart.

Big East’s upside is 3-1 today.

 

[Jimdish255]

Good grief Villanova

 

[aceboon]

Colorado St looks pretty decent so far vs Creighton

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Neptune is probably a great assistant, but he is just not meant for the end of the bench.

 

[Blue Idiaco]

Neither team is very impressive, to be honest

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Not dead yet

 

[Kitaman]

Dixon plays like Shaq

I have low standards cuz I'm impressed. Damn good game too. Nice holiday treat.

 

[Blue Idiaco]

Villanova looks like a men's league team. Its just big old guys backing down smaller guys.

Bacot looks horrific today, too. so soft

 

[Jimdish255]

Nova couldn't get a decent shot off. Definitely don't look like top 10 teams.
