Generally agree but ONE team with more wins than TEN combined teams is unique. The Big East doesn't suck but it's mid this year. Are there any more sweet sixteen caliber teams on the schedule? Doesn't look like it

St John's is definitely Sweet 16 caliber. They might not look it right now but in 3 months I expect them to be much better

The top 12 teams look so much better than the rest that it feels like the top 3 seeds for the regions are pretty firm already. Florida and St. John’s look like 4 seeds. I can’t tell the next 20 teams apart.

I keep hearing St John’s will keep getting better. But every time I see them they look worse

sanon heated up a little at the end of the half - but the Greek kid who was supposed to be their 12th man was their best guard up until that point. The Ejiofor-Hopkins-Mitchell frontcourt is still kinda threatening if they figure out their guard play - but that may never happen to the degree that they can contend.

They're probably the worst team in the Big East and their prospects don't look good for next season either. I'm not sure how much good will Shaka has built up there but they at least need to have serious talk with him about his recruiting philosophy.
 
I’m not sure we won’t find ourselves in a dogfight at PC. They have some weapons.

The big east absolutely does suck. It’s far and away the worst “power” conference. Should probably not even have that label anymore.

Despite how poor the Big East has performed OOC relative to other power conferences, it won't be a cake walk for UConn in the Big East.
This PC-Butler game at Hinkle has been entertaining. Meanwhile, Creighton is embarrassing themselves and the Big East in their home game vs Kansas State, the team Seton Hall defeated handily at Kansas State.
 
We may struggle to stop PC but we might score 200 on them. They are atrocious defensively. They can’t stop a cutting action and that’s all we do

PC is very susceptible to back door cuts. I expect English will have Oswin playing more drop coverage against UConn like he did last year.
 
According to WABWatch, we're at 3.5 WAB now and have 8.5 WAB remaining (plus BET). That would put us at 12 and that would be enough for a 1-seed (usually the 4th 1 seed is at 11 or less). So yeah, we don't really need anyone else to do anything.

But it does give us some margin of error if the BE wins a couple more today (but they're all losing so oh well).

Remember when everyone, including the Big East coaches, thought Creighton and Marquette were going to be good? Ugh, they both aren't looking so hot.

Nova just beat Pitt by 18.

Remember when Pitt fans were adamant that they always preferred Capel over Hurley? Good times.

A client of mine gave me mid court tickets to this one so I took my 5 year old today. He’s never been to Finneran.

Just cracked a beer and am hoping to watch Seton Hall smoke Rutgers right now.

Bold prediction: McDermott will announce he is retiring from Creighton before the season ends. He can’t be enjoying this

Something is wrong with that team. This is two games in a row where Creighton looks like it doesn’t care. Lack of effort is toxic, and needs to be dealt with immediately.

Does Seton Hall not believe in screens?

They beat us a few years ago with Kadary Richmond just taking turns roasting us one on one. It was a pick-free win. But a different coaching staff and different roster back then.

Do you guys make money out of hating the big east?

Like seriously

The amount of irrational messages on this board against the Big East is tiring.

It is a liability for us to be in the big east. It is far and away the worst of the power 5. Where am I wrong?
