Big East OOC thread '25/'26

Seton Hall out to another fast start in the 3rd place Maui game

If Seton Hall is back that is great for the conference

In a world full of college teams loaded with overpaid NIL mercenaries, I find this SHU group easy to root for.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

MOV matters. SHU needs to pour it on.

Good week for Seton Hall, should have been playing for the title but 2 out of 3 ain't bad

I wonder what the chances are that SH gets ranked next week, or at least gets a fair number of votes

If they were an SEC team they would definitely be ranked based on this week.

 

[superjohn]

Kansas has been really impressive.

The Big East is getting set up for another official screw job in this game. While it was possible the ball went between the Auburn player's legs without touching any part of him, none of the replays were conclusive. The original call should have held up.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Refs are taking over Auburn/St. Johns.

St. Johns could lose by 10 the way the officials are calling this game. Auburn can commit felonies on defense and St. Johns can not so much as look wrong at Auburn on the other end.

Edit: Ibine Ayo just got hammered from behind on that drive, no call.

When I've watched they're constantly calling ticky tack stuff on St. John's and Auburn is hammering St. John's in the paint with no foul calls.

Pettiford killing St Johns

 

[superjohn]

Ejiofor fouled at the rim, no call.

Pettiford killing St Johns

Auburn should have been down 12-14 points when Pettiford got hot. Auburn gets bailed out on every kamikaze drive to the basket.

I am cooling off on college basketball in general. It is tough to invest this much time in a sport where I don't trust the officiating.

Pettiford killing St Johns

They have absolutely no answer for him.

Zero - that was a lousy field.

 

[KingAG]

This is not because of the refs. St John’s is just being exposed. The back court is extremely fraudulent. The defense was always fraudulent. And Zuby keeps pulling 2nd half disappearing acts.

Completely squandered their OOC.

Let’s hope they pull it off

I’ve been vastly underwhelmed with StJ.

It is amazing how often the close games go to the big money programs.

I checked out on big time college football for the same reason. I have not trusted the officiating in big football games, ever, so I am reluctant to invest 4+ hours into a big game just to have the higher of this ranking: SEC>Big 10> ACC/Big 12 > G5 get 2 or 3 big calls in the last 2 to 3 minutes.

This is why I still watch the NBA. At least I trust the officiating in that league.

I’ll wait for you to admit I was right Mr. @RuffRuff

Pegged. Jackson and Sanon look like total misfits. They’re starting to feel like big stickers names stuck on a knock off. Their back court looks really imbalanced and there isn’t even slightly the defensive intensity last years team had.

No RJ Luis to save them this year.

 

[uconn_jack]

I don't want them too, but At 4-3, SJU should drop out of the top 25

 

[sdglast]

So far, St. Johns continues to show they are a horrific defensive team. Auburn shooting 56%, and teams are routinely shooting at or near 50% from the field against St. Johns. Last year they were a group of hardnosed guys who gave their all on both ends of the floor. This group is high on talent but you have to start questioning their desire to play D. They don't get that right, they are going to be just an average team all year.

 

[aceboon]

St Johns probably won't lose more than 4 games in conference but this was a poor week for them. They still have opportunities vs Ole Miss and UK.
