Big East OOC thread - Dec 24/25

[REB1094]

Rich Barron's game tying 3 was halfway down the hoop before it bounced out. Tough break, PC now down 5 with 28 seconds left

 

[gsmooth]

It’d be nice if PC can get this one

Classic Hump game. Whenever PC gets close, Bonnies get stop or basket to push the lead.

 

[gsmooth]

Damn Cardet Jr had a chance to tie and send it to OT and overshot it. PC 0-3 vs A-10

 

[SoFla Steve]

Friars are now winless in 3 tries against the A-10.
Maybe the A-10 is a better spot for them.

 

[REB1094]

Isn't the rule that if you foul off ball on an inbound, it's FTs + possession for the other team?

PC was down 4 inbounding the ball with 1.2 seconds left. Some Bonnie ran over a Providence player before the ball was inbounded but nothing was called. Am I crazy or should that have been 2 FTs + the ball under the basket??

And of course Dayton all of a sudden can’t shoot anymore

To be fair Marquette's D is much better than UConn's D in Maui. They have taken Dayton fans out of game

 

[REB1094]

Marquette is rolling. Completely eating Dayton alive

Sure.

Still I’ve seen them miss the same shots they hit against us.

spoke too soon lol

 

[TJT]

The Big East needs Marquette to win at Dayton tonight to salvage a .500 record versus the A-10. currently the BE has a 4-5 record with the Bonies win over Providence today.

At least Colorado is our only bad L

It’s not considered a bad L as of today. At least in terms of resume

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Friars are now winless in 3 tries against the A-10.
Maybe the A-10 is a better spot for them.

Maybe Syracuse and PC can join the A-10 as a package deal.

 

[Drew]

this is absolutely insane from SEC Network

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The SEC is so much better than everyone else that it seems they are playing a different sport. Creighton played great tonight and never had a chance.

There could be 4 SEC teams in the Final Four.

 

[shizzle787]

UConn, Georgetown, and DePaul won. Providence, Marquette, Seton Hall, Butler, Xavier, and Creighton lost.

81-36 (18-22)

5-2 vs. ACC
5-9 vs. Big 12 (Big 12 won Big12-Big East Battle 6-5)
4-5 vs. SEC
4-6 vs. Big 10

OOC records by school:

Marquette 9-2 (4-1)
St. John's 9-2 (2-2)
UConn 8-3 (2-1)
Xavier 8-3 (2-3)
Creighton 7-4 (2-3)
Butler 7-4 (3-2)
Villanova 7-4 (1-2)
DePaul 7-2 (0-1)
Georgetown 8-2 (1-2)
Providence 6-5 (1-2)
Seton Hall 5-6 (0-3)

Bad losses (current Quad 3 and 4 losses): Villanova, Butler 2x, Georgetown, Providence, Seton Hall 3x

Games remaining:

DePaul @ Northwestern (12/21)
Coppin State @ Georgetown (12/28)
Loyola (MD) @ DePaul (12/28)
Delaware @ St. John's (12/28)

Must win all three cupcake games and DePaul beating Northwestern would be a nice cherry on top.

 

[uconngb]

felt relieved to secure a q3 win after quite the scare from a mid-major at home. college basketball always delivers, gotta come prepared to play even agains the little guys!

Good luck in the NIT. Luckily for you the morons at the NCAA are thinking about expanding to 128. You may actually have a shot at getting in then.

 

[shizzle787]

Teams that I think will be in the field: UConn, Marquette, St. John's

Teams that may get in: Creighton, Xavier, DePaul, Villanova

Teams that are in trouble: Providence, Butler, Georgetown

Not happening: Seton Hall

Number of wins needed for bid (assuming DePaul loses to Northwestern and other three games vs. cupcakes are wins):

UConn- in
Marquette- in
St. John's- in
Creighton- 20 (strong OOC SOS)
Xavier- 21 (decent OOC SOS)
Villanova- 21 (decent OOC SOS)
Butler-21 (decent OOC SOS)
Providence-21 (decent OOC SOS)
DePaul- 23 (weak OOC SOS)
Georgetown- 23 (weak OOC SOS)
Seton Hall- out

 

[Travelman6]

Pretty brutal night for the BE outside of UConn over Gonzaga, ouch. Dayton looks for real though, should be ranked IMO.

 

[kobe]

quite the data point! love that these two mid-major leagues battled it out 11 times to find out who deserves the crown

Is it weird that the team I'm most scared of is Seton Hall?

They are BAD. Like among the worst high major teams in America bad. Like the Syracuse/BC tier of bad. So bad that losing to them is probably enough to block most teams from getting an at-large bid

But there are going to be a few games in BE play where the refs let their defenders hold, shove, and hit all game long and then call a foul every time SHU closes their eyes and throws themselves into defenders. It happens every year

You just pray it isn't your team.
