Big East post-season games (merged)

I could not agree more, assuming you are referring to the last jump ball call that gave Marquette the final possession; the call was a joke. What made it worse was the ref had a clear view of the obvious Marquette fouls and the lack of anything resembling a held ball.

Another bad Joe Visaly call.

Both Marotta and Karlen fouled out. That made a difference.

I'm happy, though, for Jose. They earned the opportunity to be the Giant Killer.

Happy for Fernandez but Marquette lost the game well before either player fouled out. Not on the scoreboard maybe but they beat themselves with poor play and terrible coaching the entire 4th qtr and OT.
Creighton currently down double digits and playing poorly also.

I'm starting to see a pattern with the BE games and foul trouble. It happened with St. Johns, Marquette, and now Creighton. I wonder if the wrestling match referring in the BE is now hurting them outside the conference......

I think poor play is hurting them.
Marquette was completely taken out of any offensive sets in the 4th qtr and OT Marrotta played 41 minutes and Karlen 33, so I don’t think foul trouble had any profound effect.
Creighton has 2 players with 3 midway through the 3rd, which is pretty normal and 10 team fouls. Maly and Jensen are 1-14 from 3 and is way more the reason they are down 17.

Creighton is shooting poorly. 18 for 57. Only 6 threes. Now 70 - 47 Mississippi State - 4th quarter.

Creighton is shooting poorly. 18 for 57. Only 6 threes. Now 70 - 47 Mississippi State - 4th quarter.

And Miss St. is shooting 62% from 3 (10 total). Bet that haven't done that all season.

Maly is 1-11 and 0-8. The same thing happened in the Big East semi. I wonder if she is injured; Creighton can’t beat anybody when she performs that poorly.

My thoughts entirely. Morgan Maly is usually a steady FORCE for the Bluejays!

Another BE team no longer dancing...Creighton loses to Mississippi State, not even close.

Disappointing BE play so far.

oh boy is this a bad sign of things to come? I gotta say Creighton is the most dissapointing team this season in the Big East. They had a legit shot to build on an elite 8 run and instead don't even win a tournament game.

St Johns' loses a game they should have won, Uconn only team to win a big east game. Dissapointing season for the conference.

Villanova won

St. John's won the play in game against Purdue and Nova won.

SLU and Marquette were close, but lost by a bucket. I guess that counts only in horseshoes and hand grenades.

You can look at it that way or realize how completely Marquette folded down the stretch, both players and coaches. There are losses and there are losses and Marquette didn’t just lose by a bucket, they wilted big time.
I did not see the St. John’s game so no comment there.
