Big East OOC thread - Dec 24/25

[BFieldHusky]

I will never not celebrate their downfall. Long may it continue.

Both can occur.

Well, in the Northeast the ACC still has BC to carry conference mantle, especially after BC almost beat Dartmouth last week.

Sad that this once great rivlary has been relegated to the ACC Network.

What is the BE record versus the ACC thus year? It is only 4-7 against the A-10.

 

[District-Husky]

How many wins can Cuse get in the ACC this year? And if Red doesn’t learn how to coach, despite the recruiting class coming in, they are going to be bad again next year. It’s tough losing your HOF coach.

5-2.

Their board thinks they might not even get 10. I hate to admit that I love going there after every loss to see them self-implode. They danced on our grave and it is so satisfying that they are where they are heading into this new world of transfers and NIL. I don't know if they can dig themselves out of this hole.

They are mismanaging their freshman (Freeman) who is regressing since they can't coach defense and not playing him. THey want to fire the coach (former alum) and believe they won't make the ACC tournament (let alone NCAAT). There 3-pt shooting might be the worst of the P5 and they can't play defense. They are a perfect team!

Box Score says attendance was about 17.1k. Wanna bet median age of attendees was about 65?

Syracuse has become such a joke program. I love it

 

[REB1094]

Georgetown was favored. On the road. And they covered.

Pain.

 

[Dooooooomed]

I enjoy them being bad, but not quite bad enough to fire Autry & potentially upgrade. Same with Indiana & Woodson.

 

[IndyLives]

Sadly, UConn might be dependent on joining the ACC to save them from the current economic trends in college athletics. People are foolin themselves if they think the current UConn conference model is sustainable over the next 5 to 10 years..

 

[CT2SC]

Other than our game and Georgetown the rest of the league continued to lose non conference games. The BE looks really weak and likely a 2-3 bid conference. Dayton beating us and Marquette is terrible optics as well.

Unfortunately Gtown was the only other BE team that won yesterday

DEPAUL SLANDER

Let's not throw salt in the wounds of Syracuse. The rivalry is done. I wish them well. Perhaps we will become conference mates again in a new ACC-Big East one day.

So Syracuse is God’s new waiting room?

 

[superjohn]

Big East is down this season. The ACC flat out sucks. The ACC has kind of sucked for a while now.

 

[kobe]

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

 

[REB1094]

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.

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

Wrong, Big East will get minimum 4, put it in the books for UConn, St. John’s, Creighton, and Marquette. ACC and Mountain West got a combined 11 bids last year, this year they may combine for 6 or 7.

You just pray it isn't your team.

Nothing says ACC Network like Georgetown vs. Syracuse.

No. Let's. Screw 'em.
