Big East OOC thread '25/'26

Isaiah Abraham just knocked down two clutch FTs with 30 seconds left to tie and now Georgetown and Dayton are in OT. This is after overcoming a 14 pt deficit with 7 min left in the game.
Winner of this game plays BYU tomorrow. BTW, Anthony Grant, Dayton 's head coach is 5-0 vs the Big East as coach of Dayton, which includes the ass kicking they gave UConn in Maui last year.
 
PC gets crushed by Wisconsin. Gives up another 100+.

The Be suuuuuucks.
 
This Georgetown team is not that good defensively and I think KJ Lewis just flat out sucks, and the whole team engages in hero ball in the last 2 minutes. I know they beat Maryland and Clemson, but Georgetown just isn't that good a team. I think they will finish in the bottom half of the league.
 
It appears that Kim English is better suited as a top assistant and recruiter. Not head coach.

Looks like the team is quitting on him. It may make sense to fire him now.

Seven games for the league tomorrow (five against the P4). 5-2 or better would represent a good day.
 
Metrics and tbh my original suspicions were right about Georgetown.

3 bid league it is

He's done there. He gets good players and has no idea how to coach them.

We’ve had a couple teams like Butler and SH over perform, but let’s be real, they aren’t making a mark on a national level. StJ showed they are a mess, will likely fall out of the top 25. Our other preseason top 25 team is flat out bad. It’s leading to zero star power in this league.

I know sizzle loves tracking this mediocrity. I don’t really care if Butler beats Virginia. I like to see our top teams beat theirs, and right now we look like the only team that qualifies as a top team.

As I said two years ago - trending much closer to a glorified Atlantic 10 than a P4. I know we’re stuck here and need to make the most of it.

You are all in on the Big East = Atlantic 10. That is one heck of a hot take, and a very weird hill to die on. Not looking good for you so far this year.

How many bids do you see the Big East getting?

Conference needs something. It just feels stale. Would be nice to drop DePaul for Dayton.

Goodman doesn't know what he is talking about.

You are forgetting something: math. Even if UConn goes 18-2 in league play, it is likely at least four other teams have a conference record of 11-9 and likely #1-4 are all 13-7 or better in league play.

The league will likely get four teams in because the bottom half have stepped up. The worst ranked team at Torvik is DePaul at #93 so there aren't a lot of landmines in the league this year. At KenPom, they are #111.

There won't be many Quad 4 games in conference. Every conference road game will be Quad 3 or better and there is a shot every road game with be Quad 1 or 2. About half the league will be Quad 3 at home. If the average BE team is playing 8 Quad 1, 6 Quad 2, and 6 Quad 3 games, we will get four bids by math alone, especially considering that every league outside of the power conferences is way down.

Something has really soured Goodman on all things Big East. Two years ago, he placed Ed Cooley on a pedestal and now he can't find any reason to consider Georgetown as improved.

I dont like Goodman either, but he did say could be a two bid league. Is he not wrong? Who after UConn and St John's, maybe G Town, or Creighton, but im not so sure they will have the body of work, unless they beat UConn and St John's and take care of work against other teams.

Two of Creighton, Georgetown, Villanova, Butler, Marquette, Providence or Seton Hall. A few will bubble up.
 
Can one of the Big East haters explain to us how Virginia Tech's 18 point loss to an A 10 team is bad for the Big East?
