Georgetown (-11.5) is down 40-39 at halftime. Home game against Jackson St

11.5 is a pretty crazy line for them. The last time they won a game by 11+ was last season against 3-29 Green Bay, over 1 year ago
 
Georgetown takes down Jackson State 88-81.
Now let's see if SJU can beat Holy Cross.

Big East is doing well . . .

Georgtown is absolutely dreadful, 13-26 from 3, and 53 percent overall and beat Jackson st by only 7. They may go winless in big east

They’ll win a few in the Big East. Cooley isn’t a great coach, but he’s pretty good.

How much of his pretty goodness had to do with the buy in on his home town, local boy makes good, people of the people schtick? I may be totally wrong even thinking about it. But he's in the now, with more resources, so we'll see.
 
DePaul would finish in the bottom quarter of the A10. It is going to be a long season in Lincoln Park.
 
Surprised that DePaul was actually favored in their game against Northern Illinois. Easy money. Mid-major program that needs to clean house. Just awful.
 
Is there anything the conference can do about DePaul? Have them commit to spending more on a coach or something? They have two winning seasons in the 19 years since they joined the big east.
 
St. John's and Georgetown are winners.

DePaul lost.

48-19 (13-10).

I can't really explain the conference this year as we are doing well against the P5 but massively underperforming against the cupcakes.
 
How many games does DePaul win this season? 3? Maybe 4?

They finished the soft part of their schedule with 1 win... Chicago St. at home, Georgetown at home... Who else do they have a chance to beat?

I have the following to offer regarding Cooley. He will never have the fan base he had at PC. Therefore he will never have the home court advantage he had at PC. That homecourt advantage is the reason we had decent seasons under him. You guys can figure out the rest from there.

Georgetown has eight scholarship athletes, including a starting center from Fairfield. Ed Cooley was upfront in saying it's not a "rebuild" but a "build", because there wasn't anything left under Patrick Ewing to rebuild from. But with respect to the poster above, a motivated Georgetown fan base is far, far bigger than anything available at Providence College.

It's certainly worse at DePaul: two winning seasons in 18 years, one NIT, no national rankings since 2000, no NCAAs since 2004. Four coaching hires of dubious distinction (Jerry Wainwright, Oliver Purnell, Dave Leitao and Tony Stubblefield. Attendance of 1,000-2,000 a game at the largest school in the conference. Make an offer to a young coach and really start over.

Memphis once again proved how awful Penny is as a coach I mean he was severely out coached by Neptune. Having said that if you allow Nova to do what they want to do you have a good chance to lose. UNC and Memphis both proved to have coaches lacking ability to adjust in any winning manner.

But Nova is talented no doubt. Of course you need to defend them better and get some calls which refs seem very reluctant to give to the Nova guys?!?!

Georgetown's fanbase (including the casuals, which there are lots of) will not present a home court advantage like Providence does. They're less rabid and within an NBA arena it is not nearly the intense environment the AMP is. Home court advantage Providence by far.

I will never be interested in debating which school between Providence and Georgetown has a better fan base.

Hardaway is a good coach.

Idk anything about their past coaches but are they swinging and missing on up and coming mid majors or just being cheap and hiring whatever they can?
 
I remember when Leitao left DePaul after his first stint there, during which they went to the postseason three straight years (two NITs, one NCAA). He seemed to have a decent thing going but thought the UVA pasture would be greener (it wasn't, at least for him). I thought it was a dumb move for Leitao (it was), and for DePaul, Jerry Wainwright immediately sank the ship, going 12-15 in his first year at the helm. They've been worse than irrelevant ever since.
