Big East OOC thread

Is there anyone that didn’t expect Neptune to blow it? That loss should go on the record of Villanova’s athletic department and President for not having fired Neptune yet.

 

[auror]

Eric Dixon might have to score 40+, I don't trust Nova to hang onto this one at all

He did have to, and only got 38.

 

[shizzle787]

Villanova is a dead program

They just need to fire Neptune, which they will. They have a good NIL setup but high-level talent doesn’t want to play for a coach with zero pedigree and zero NCAA appearances.

This year is a wash already - this team isn’t going anywhere. Might as well keep some class and do it the right way. It's not like there's a Jon Wooden sitting on the beach looking to turn this dumpster fire around.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

... because he missed the final shot which would have gotten him there.

Rough day for the BE today

Rough day for the BE today

Rough season
Hopefully the Huskies can lift it up to decency

Very smart but also very stupid not to anticipate that - must have been at least two guys open.

Perkins had a wide open three to win the game. Unfortunately he was 0-4 today

 

[Tenspro2002]

2-19 from 3? SJ still a tough team to play for us, don’t be misled by close losses.

This is exactly the sort of team that will find ways to lose out of conference and then make life miserable and impose "bad losses" on national contenders in conference play.

This. But it was always going to be this way.

Today they lost to a team that will give some SEC teams "bad losses." Georgia is talented, but unlikely to consistently play to that standard.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Seton Hall doing well against FAU . . . so far.

 

[SoFla Steve]

The Hall up by 13 several times in the 2nd half. FAU doesn't hit a basket for 7 mins and yet, it's a one-point game with 24 secs to go.

EDIT: The Hall escapes 63-61. BE 1-2 today.

 

[shizzle787]

Seton Hall won. St. John's and Villanova lost.

50-12 (6-7)

Derik Queen is super skilled for his age

By season's end he'll probably be a top 10-15 pick in the draft. Likely one and done.

 

[kobe]

projected aac champion takes out projected big east champion on a neutral floor.

 

[Karmacop]

projected aac champion takes out projected big east champion on a neutral floor.

Can't argue with the truth, even though the message is annoying right now.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

projected aac champion takes out projected big east champion on a neutral floor.

Big 12 needs to clean its diaper after yesterday.

 

[REB1094]

Well, the Big East runs through DePaul now!

 

[JerseyAlum]

If we play Gonzaga and they are #1 ranked but it will not count makes as much sense as the formula given public opinion should UConn win.

 

[Karmacop]

should UConn win

Looking like a stretch right now based on how these two teams have started the season.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Well today the BE took another hit. We are not supposed to lose that game and then the way we did was hard to watch. Unfortunately kids not in school this week so we got to suffer together. Not the best start to the week.

 

[shizzle787]

Xavier won. UConn lost.

[RuffRuff]

Lost in this loss was that the BE took another hit in terms of quality of conference. Creighton has a big one today vs SDSU, favored by 3. I can see them losing that without Ashworth. If they drop that and we come out 1-2 with only win against a bad Colorado team, the BE rap is gonna be at a low point. Xavier has had a couple ok wins, nothing to write home about. Right now only one holding us up with any clout is Marquette.

Couple huge games todays outside of Maui - Duke/Kansas and Houston/Bama.

 

[MU in MKE]

Creighton missing Ashworth is a major blow, especially as they're hitting their most difficult stretch of the non-con season. Even if it's a minor sprain and can come back quickly, he won't quite be himself for a bit I'm sure. At least UConn has a lot of opportunity to get things in order and help the cause.
