Big East Semis

[Kemba Time]

Tonight at MSG, four of the top 16 teams in the country will be taking the court (according to KenPom). That will not happen in any other conference tournament — not even the big, bad Big 12 — and it likely will not happen in a single Sweet 16 regional.

The top of this league is as good as any in the nation, and tonight’s doubleheader is the best night of college basketball this side of the Final Four. Thank god we are back!

Creighton vs Nova looked like us vs. PC, without the late game near collapse.

The later in the week you can get Creighton, the better. Their starting 5 is so good, but that bench is a big question mark.

That was my biggest reason for wanting to be opposite them in the bracket, get that 5 on heavy minutes on their 3rd game in a row….it should be a positive factor, if we can get there

I was thinking that. If you look at other scores there are few routs no matter how much better one team may be.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

In other news, my 11-year-old nephew invited me over to watch tonight's game, placing him firmly as a 1-seed in the field amongst my sister's three children.

Lets GOOOO ( NIL For Donovan )

I got a Karaban Caravan shirt for my soon-to-be 10 year-old. Also bought a birthday shout out to my kid from Alex via Opendorse. Not sure if it was really him who I was chatting with on the app, but he couldn’t have been nicer.

We're going to regret not recruiting Desmond Claude, kid will be all-conference next season.

Xavier as a team works so well together, shame Freemantle is out for year, they could’ve gone far.

 

[TRest]

I guess McDermott can’t coach anymore.

They were unstoppable offensively with Freemantle. They are still good, but I do not think they can beat the top teams without him. Against a team like Kansas or UCLA, a team like Xavier needs every next level player they can get.

McDermott needs to think about conceding the game soon. He only has 5 guys that can play, and there is no point in having one of them get hurt in the last 8 minutes of a game like this.

A first year coach is going to win the BET… and that makes me really really angry…

As long as the one that wins is not named Miller I’m good w it

Yup. A second year coach won the regular season and now has the chance to win the BET. Amazing

I’ll be rooting for all the Big East teams from here on in, unless we’re playing them.

Honestly much respect for you doing this but I only root for UCONN and once there eliminated from the be or ncaa tourney I have no desire to watch it anymore.
