Big East OOC thread

[Waquoit]

Not one to pile on @kobe

Why not?

 

[El Obrero]

Big win for Nova and the conference!

 

[MU in MKE]

Bryce Hopkins is back!

Not a moment too soon

 

[BFieldHusky]

The 8th planet rises from the ashes and comes up with a doozy. I didn’t see this one happening, could have been a bit of Cincis Maui as their first real team and on the road. They had played nothing but tomato cans till this game. Nice win for the BE.

Nova fans probably have mixed feelings on Neptune winning.

He's gone either way.

 

[3rdbass]

Providence is playing well against BYU hitting a lot of 3's Byrce Hopkins hasn't even done much.

 

[kobe]

ive seen enough. villanova is winning the big east. by far the best team in the church league.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Friars up 12 at the half. Not sure if they can keep up 71 percent shooting!

 

[RuffRuff]

ive seen enough. villanova is winning the big east. by far the best team in the church league.

Kyle must have said an extra Hail Mary before this one.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Kyle must have said an extra Hail Mary before this one.

Or Cincy is highly overrated. Like a lot of the Big 12 so far.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

BYU missed a lot of open shots, and Providence hit a lot of tough shots. Not sure both teams will keep doing that.

Hopkins looks a little tentative.

Bwahahaha

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Lil bro looking good against BYU.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The refs made the right call on the Essandoku/Hall collision, but all Refs need to stop rewarding players for throwing their head into another player's elbows to try to get the flagrant call. It is dangerous to both players.

 

[CTBasketball]

Egor Demin has been shut down, and BYU has no one else to do anything.

Friars look surprisingly good.

 

[Hi-Low]

The little church league has a knack for winning national championships (4 of the last 8 titles)...go figure.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Did not expect a PC blowout of a pretty good BYU team. PC started hot and stayed hot from deep, and BYU didn't shoot well from deep, although 28.0% is not terrible. BYU was ice cold from close to the hoop, missing a lot of bunnies.

I would have been happy with 1 Big East win vs. the Big 12 tonight, but 2-0 with wins by Villanova and Providence over a ranked Cincinnati and a BYU receiving votes is a great start to the Big East/Big 12 Battle.

 

[BFieldHusky]

BYU has 4 eastern time zone games this year, including 3 in the league. Most since 1962-1963. They looked terrible tonight.

The Big 12 and the Big Ten have brutal road trips this year. I think you will see a lot of parity in those leagues because of travel.

Appreciate you running these numbers, but you really need to add our loss to CO as a bad loss. It is not going to age well.

Lots of friendly subjectivity around bad losses in these numbers.

 

[MU in MKE]

Tonight may be the roughest night of the BE / B12 Battle. If we go 2-2 tonight, I think it'll be a solid outcome.
