Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4190017, member: 833"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2022/conference/Big-East[/URL] 1) Providence - I haven't liked this team all year and I think Cooley is winning with mirrors, but they are what their record says they are. They have 1 loss in conference with only 8 games to go, and there are some likely wins left. Providence is probably going to win the regular season championship. 2) Villanova - 3 losses although they have 2 games vs. Providence left. This is a very good, not great team who has some work to do if it wants to win the regular season title. They are in a lot of trouble if Gillespie is seriously hurt. 3) Marquette - 8-1 over last 9, and the schedule lightens up dramatically the rest of the way. I don't think anyone wants any part of Marquette in the post season. This team is tough. 4) Xavier - Might be the best starting 5 in the Big East, but I still don't like the coach. We will learn a lot more in the next few weeks with 2 vs. UConn and 2 vs. Seton Hall. 5) UConn - You are what your record says you are. UConn has 9 games left, against the spectrum of the conference. This could turn out to be a great season or a disappointment. It is up to Hurley and the players. 6) Seton Hall - They need Aiken back or I don't see them getting a bid. With him, they could go on a run. 7) Creighton - Other than the win over UConn, Creighton has not looked great the last few weeks, but they have 4 winnable games coming up so they could be right back in the mix for an at-large in two weeks. Creighton is more inconsistent than any team in the Big East. They can be very good (win over Villanova), and they can suck (17 point loss to Butler). Never know which team will show up. gap 8) Depaul - Beat Xavier and almost beat UConn. This team is a tough matchup for anyone because they play great defense. The loss of Freeman-Liberty is not really hurting them, so it will be interesting to see how they play when he returns. 9) St. Johns - Team is improving every week. They will be dangerous the rest of the way. 10) Butler - This team has played better than I expected, but the remainder of their schedule is tough (no Georgetown, at SJU and at Depaul), so they may not win another game this season. gap 11) Georgetown - Still not competitive. 0 for the Big East seems likely at this point. I know there are still makeup games that may or may not be played. I don't know how to predict those. I don't understand which games are being made up and which ones are not, so I will assume they are all going to be made up for this analysis. [/QUOTE]
