Big East OOC thread

[Kolumbo]

DePaul holding its own, down 1 at the half.
Seton Hall up 45-42 in the 2nd. Wait, that's against NJTech. Nevermind.

Depaul is getting a lot of points tonight.

Regretting not doing something about this. Depaul +15.5 is looking pretty good right now.

Gene Hackman of Creighton is a nice little point guard; he plays a heady game.

Kansas is playing lousy, but Self is making a good move turning up the man to man pressure to create some chaos. The way to attack it is by Creighton forcing contact on penetration, but that strategy makes it hard to kill the clock.

Wrong actor, that isn't Gene Hackman, it's Elisha Cook

I was certain Steven Ashworth is Kenny Bania. Bania is Ashworth.

This is the worst Kansas has played this year. It is almost comical how loud the microphone is on the rims, every miss is like a loud drum sound. Not running any offense. Huge win for the Big East and a wake up message for KU.

Creighton has this one - this is the Kansas team I was expecting this season. Great on paper, but too Dickinson.

As bad as we looked in Maui - all the press we got - and the drop in rankings..

Kansas looks worse! Getting manhandled by the unranked Bluejays.

Just go to show you any team can get into funk.

Tales of the demise of the Big East were greatly exaggerated

 

[HuskyHawk]

Top 25 is going to be interesting. #1 losing. #2 losing. Undefeated Marquette lost. Kentucky lost. So Tennessee is #1, Iowa State maybe #2? Then maybe Gonzaga, Kansas, Marquette, Purdue? Duke moves up

 

[3rdbass]

Kansas is the #1 team in the country? I know Creighton is hard to play at their home but at least make an effort.

Kinda shows that it's yet another season where the brass ring is available to grab.

Lmao @ Jon

 

[nelsonmuntz]

What happened to Dickinson? Did he get benched?

Court storming in Omaha. Damn Creighton has taken out both your teams as visiting #1s. All in all, I would keep that loss for UConn because it got the coaching staff to work against drop coverage defense which they learned and used against Purdue.
Great night for the Big East.

 

[Hunt for 7]

They just called a flagrant one on an Auburn player. It was not even half as bad as the no call against Reed. Duke gets every call. So obvious.

Would have to think even if Auburn loses at Duke, they hold serve over ISU given the head to head and only one loss. I know the pollsters don’t like using their brains too much, but that one seems easy. Hard to penalize a loss at Cameron too much. They have betters wins as well.

Kalk owned Dickinson - I really hope when they’re weighing award votes at end of year they look very closely at a game like this with two peers going head to head. Nice win.

 

[BugsyCT]

Creighton is always tough in their building (as we know well).

 

[BFieldHusky]

Maybe the big east will be ok.

Seton Hall grinds out a gritty 11pt win vs plucky 1-8 NJIT

Yeah. Kansas won’t fall far either. Tennessee is the clear #1 but after that a bunch of one loss teams have a decent case. Not a whole lot separates #2 from #10 most likely.

I know it’s “flyover” country for many here, but that fanbase is legit. Always packs a big building. I suspect this loss will be beneficial to Kansas as ours was previously. McDermott is great at exposing your weaknesses.

Big East 4-2 so far in Big East/Big 12 battle. More telling is that the home team is 6-0 in these games. UConn won by 4, Villanova by 8, and the other four home teams have won by 10+.
