Maybe we took different math classes at UConn, but if Xavier goes 12-8 in the Big East, they would have a 20-11 record, and if Georgetown did the same they would be 20-10.

Are we adding extra losses to Big East teams now?

That’s what I get for not using a calculator!
 
The BE isn’t very good this year. But the games are gonna be so much fun. Not the usual separation 3-11.
 
StJ PC in a great one.

StJ is will be an interesting matchup for us. What they don’t do well is shoot the 3, at all. I’m surprised Pitino left such a gap there. They do have 3 guys that can put the ball on the floor, two with size. Another matchup where Jayden may get run because I can see Kadari just bullying Solo. They look like a 4 man team. Liam will have his hands full with Ruiz, the key with him is keeping him out of the lane. Can also see Tarris getting a lot of run here because I don’t think Samson has a chance with Zuby, and the StJ team can rebound. Will have to limit 2nd opportunities. If we play sound here and don’t give them easy stuff and 2nd chances we win. Need Jayden to figure out his role and contribute on offense by the time we see them by latter half of season.

St. John’s just got a big road win. I feel more and more confident they will be a tournament team.

I think Creighton will climb out of the hole now that they got their Euro guy. I mean not into the top tier of the BE, but at least tourney good.

I was surprised he only played 3 minutes.

Probably easing him into game action? Was he able to practice with the team while his status was pending?

He is supposedly getting over the flu, but has been practicing with the scout team. That the starters were all playing well yesterday (happens every 3 games or so) probably contributed to his limited minutes. The key for Creighton seems to be Jamiya Neal. If he's on, Creighton's on. The hope is Zugic will fill the offensive void when Neal isn't hitting his shots. (Ashworth is the only consistent shooter right now.) We'll see soon enough. St. Johns comes to town NYE.

He was on the scout team for all of this time. McDermott is trying to ease Zugic's game time as he isn't in game shape.

Dayton has something 99.9% of other schools of its caliber don't have. An incredibly loyal fanbase. It seems the people of Dayton live and die by this team.

I've been in arenas during tournaments twice when they've been around. When Dayton played in the northeast regionals, they've had the most impressive fanbase by far, even when UConn, Syracuse, Villanova and Ohio State were playing. I've seen it with my own eyes, and it was impressive. They have a bunch of unique chants as well.

The city/town has a big arena that hosts NCAA regionals and they fill it. This program is impressive. The problem of course is that they are so close to Cincinnati that they may eat into Xavier's market.

xavier hates dayton and will do anything to keep them out of the church league.

the charity exhibition this year was the first time they've even played them in over 10 years since moving leagues.

complete cowardly bums if you ask me.

Amazing fanbase in a deeply rooted hoops community/alumni. Xavier down the street and a nice local rival. Catholic. As good a fit as it gets.

If I’m looking for a rational non bias opinion on something concerning Xavier a Cinncy fan immediately comes to mind as a credible source .

I think you're right. Instead, Xavier has chosen to schedule their cupcake crosstown rival. Golly, I didn't realize Cincy has only one win all-time in the Cintas Center, and that was over 20 years ago. And 16-7 overall in favor of X since that time. I think it's high time Xavier scratches the mildcats and adds Dayton to their schedule.

You are talking a lot of smack for the fan of a school that is usually the 3rd best team in the greater Cincinnati metro area.

Big east crappy refs on full display tonight. Yes i know i am the only one watching Georgetown at seton hall. Late first half Georgetown goes to line for 1 and 1 on 9th foul. Refs think its a 2 shot foul so becomes a jump ball back to Georgetown. Very next Georgetown possession sorber misses first free throw and seton hall rebounds and starts advancing before ref realizes its 2 shots. Can’t make this up
