Creighton just made it difficult for the rest of the league. Need to go 7-1 to get to 96 wins and I don't see Butler beating Purdue so the league would need to go 7-0 in the remaining games.

I also think we can justifiably cross Creighton off the list of potential NCAA teams.

Kind of early for that but they did look terrible in this game.

Take it easy on them...they're young pups. They will surprise people -- in both good and bad ways this season. NIT bound.

Big East performed admirably out of conference this year. The remaining handful of games is icing on the cake.
 
Wednesday
Howard @ Georgetown, 6:30, FS1 - Scott Graham, John Giannini
Line: Georgetown -11/156.5

Morehead State @ Xavier, 8:30, FS1 - Matt Schumacker, Donny Marshall
Line: Xavier -15/135.5

RPI was just not a very accurate measure of EITHER strength of record OR predictive team strength. Yeah it was more transparent and thus predictable, but that doesn't mean it was accurately measuring anything important.

NET is pretty good at both, but intentionally geared to do both so not perfect at either. That being said, by tournament time it's totally fine and a good enough metric for committee to use for organizing.

NET is very good at justifying the outcome the power brokers in the NCAA want to get.

I agree. It was a stinker of a loss, but to be honest, I expected more of these losses by Big East teams by this point, and I expected some losses that were really ugly. I was expecting a few Big East equivalents of Navy over Virginia, a bad loss by one of our top half teams. So far, so good on that note.

By March, it's not very different from other independent advanced metrics. Prove to me with data that it favors a certain class of teams in a way that RPI didn't and I'll listen, instead of just spouting random conspiracy theories.
 
Georgetown and Xavier win, keep the line moving.
 
91-24. Need to go 5-1 the rest of the way.
 
Purdue stomping on Butler. Butler was lucky to beat Oklahoma. They are so slow, that I don't get why Purdue is shooting 3's. The Boilers can get right to the rim any time they want.

Butler should be two easy wins for the Huskies.

Pitt giving Johnnies a game in MSG. 34-31 SJU at the half. Hugley sat out several minutes with 2 fouls.
 
Wow, Pitt wins on a buzzer beater by Jamarious Burton (former Wichita State guard). 20 points for Burton.

St. John's offense was anemic w/o Champagnie. For such a poor shooting team, I'm surprised why Hofstra transfer Tareq Coburn doesn't get more run. Was a 15.1 ppg scorer last season and shot 39.3% from three.

91-26. 22-19 vs. the P5. Georgetown and Villanova last two games left if DePaul and Seton Hall don’t schedule make up games.
 
SJU woulda won easily with champagnie but it is what it is

YIKES ST. JOHN’S

Butler got spanked and Georgetown is in a battle. Huskies better be hunting today.
 
Big East spitting the bit OOC. Butler lost to Purdue by 800 ( expected loss but by 800 ? Cmon)

But they should still have won the game if they are a team that was said to be going for a tournament spot

Pitt just lost to Monmouth AT HOME 3 days ago. Lol

Monmouth is pretty legit though. They have 7 road wins already this year. They've risen 100 spots in KenPom so far this season over their first 11 games. 11-0 against the spread.
