I know Nova’s thing is only playing 6-7 guys each season, but with the Big East looking so good this year, idk how they will stay fresh and not get worn down. They’re going to be playing in a lot of close games during conference play
 
The problem with Nova's Moneyball-style basketball is that it doesn't always adjust when the other team sells out on defending the perimeter and collapsing on the basket. A team needs a midrange game to keep the defense honest.

I feel like Xavier matches up better with Purdue because of their length, shooting and depth. We're the only other team that brings all 3 so far.
 
That's two big wins Nova left on the table because they have no bench. They were totally gassed at the end of both games. Wright simply has to give some minutes to Trey Patterson or Jordan Longino and has to make Bryan Antoine a part of the rotation when he comes back.

I love Isaiah Thompson's season stat line:

11-20 from three (45%), 10 assists, two turnovers.

That Edey dunk, HOLY MOLY!!!

They have everything you need in a title contender: bucket-getter (Ivey), dominant frontcourt (Edey/Williams), a calming PG (Thompson), shooters (Stefanovic, Newman, Thompson) a young X-factor who can step up when needed (Furst).
 
Part of the problem was Purdue’s stifling free throw defense. Nova shot 53% from the line.
 
39-5. Disappointing loss by Nova. Need to win the other two today.

Purdue goes 10 deep with 2 All - Americans.
2 of the top big men in the country.
Should be a good Boilermaker year

We’ll be hearing this all year as that is all PC will have to hang it’s hat on. “But our guy was so good in a secret pre-season scrimmage game.”

Not really a terrible loss if they bounce back, but a good reason for us to crush Auburn. Need 5 or 6 teams to show they can knock off contenders. CSU was lights out shooting. Everything went in.
Villanova's loss not terrible either but it exposed some weaknesses.

I don't have my hopes up on Creighton anyway.

but I think as a league we are good with UConn, Nova, Xavier, Providence, Marquette, St. John's, Seton Hall.

If any of DePaul, Creighton, Georgetown, Butler end up doing well in addition to above it will be a great year for the league
 
Really would pay dividends if Marquette beats the Bonnies. We need more Big East teams ranked tomorrow. C'mon MU!
 
The Mountain West with three nice wins today against the P6: vs Creighton, vs Oklahoma, Vs Ole Miss. That league is looking pretty decent so far
