[Hey Adrien!]

Tough blow for Providence. I'm betting for Vermont.

He has been out. They have been doing fine without him.

Is Vermont +7.5 a sneaky good bet here? I think I’ll be staying away as I don’t know enough about VT this year, but if it’s business as usual in Burlington, then they’re going to be disciplined and good.

71-20. Three games to go. Got to hand it to Providence (9-1): as long as they beat CCSU, they did what they were supposed to do and more-win the their Gavitt game and Big12/Big East challenge game and not suffer a bad loss.

Barring a CCSU disaster for them I can't see them not being ranked next week. No reason LSU is ranked and they aren't

Well at this rate Virginia is going to be a bad loss (4 losses already, 2 to sub 100 teams).

PC didn't get a single vote. It will be tough to be ranked by next week

Damn yeah I just checked could've swore they RV. I mean that's pretty ridiculous that they haven't.

Their Texas Tech win is looking good. Tech just beat #13 Tennessee.

Seton Hall’s Kevin Willard could be on short list to replace Maryland’s Mark Turgeon, report says

The University of Maryland is looking for a new head coach after parting ways last week with Mark Turgeon.

No matter how well the conference does I’ll always have a BE inferiority complex

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Butler is so slow. How is this even a division 1 team athletically?

How many conferences have more than 3-4 jobs you dont leave if something else comes along? BE has 3: UConn, Nova, Gtown (maybe now a days). He’d be leaving for Maryland, not a school like wake forest or Georgia.

Does Villanova shoot anything other than threes? Just got to guard the 3 point line when the Huskies play them.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Bilas must have heard the phrase “plays off of two feet” this week.

 

[shizzle787]

72-20. Two games to go.

Serious question. Why was their coach hired? He coached ONE season at UW-Milwaukee and had an 11-24 record. That was his head coaching experience before Butler hired him. Yes he's an alum but no idea why a program like Butler would go so unproven. Both him and Ewing should be shown the door at years end.

20 shots so far. 16 of them threes.

No, they pump fake pass and shoot threes.

He had 6 years of successful assistant coach years a Michigan and then took a short on talent UW-Milwaukee team to the Horizon league tournament final. It was still a risk though obviously.. but his ties to the school won out.
