February - Other Big East Games

[August_West]

It’s a disappointing conference season. 14-0 also happened. A disappointing conference season doesn’t make his time at UConn a fail.

14-0 happened indeed. Actually makes this worse though.

It’s a disappointing conference season(every coach has those including Calhoun the Christ). 14-0 also happened. A disappointing conference season doesn’t make his time at UConn a fail.

We need to stop bringing Calhoun into these arguments. It’s insulting to him

Does it? I actually take more from the 14-0 start than the bad month in conference. It’s more indicative of what they’ll see in the tournament

 

[auror]

Marquette taking advantage of the home court energy (and reffing) right now). Xavier might still have a punch left though.

It’s not just Calhoun. It’s almost every coach in every sport that has existed. Disappointing stretches and seasons are apart of sports. Taking one disappointing conference season and using it as a referendum on his entire tenure is ludicrous

You don’t? 6th place in big East on year 5 is a good spot?

You sure make a great deal of noise without making much sense. Kudos.

14-0 start #2 in country to 6th place in a league that is behind the mountain west in RPI and no matter which metric you want to use the BigEast is the 4th or 5th rated conference this year. You don’t call that amn epic fail? Or do you wanna play for December?

Well luckily the season isn't over

You holding out for a Kemba run this year Boba?

No, it's not.

No and no. The season isn’t over. If the season is a fail for you already cool. I don’t see it that way. The big east has 5 teams in the top 25. And 4 of our losses are against those teams on the road. We have 2 losses that probably shouldn’t have happened this year, and one was without our coach or assistant coach. We struggled for a month, that month happened to be the month our toughest in conference games were in. Let the season play out

 

[August_West]

Well luckily the season isn't over

Luckily.

But hey we’ve lost to lower seeds in the first round in 2 tourney appearances, but with Ollie players. Amirite? Except this year we will finish lower regular season than last 2 years with no Ollie players.

 

[August_West]

No, it's not.

We can play this all day

 

[auror]

Colby Jones just hit a massive step back 3 to take the lead and then drew a charge with 2 min left. Has to be one of my favorite players in the conference. If X wins, that stretch will be the difference.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

No, it's not.

Either ADub thinks were in the ACC or he's arguing about Syracuse as a fan of their team.

[EnochRoot]

Damn I forgot how long Alabama is.

Not when you've already been proven wrong, you said by every metric and that's just not true. You're on the record that we suck and this season is a disappointment. I think that's dumb but you do you

 

[superjohn]

If it takes Hurley a decade here to finish first in the conference the end of the regular season and make a sweet sixteen I will gladly state that his ceiling is not any higher than Cooley's.

Providence made 2 out of 14 NCAA's since their Elite 8 run with Croshere and Shamgod before they hired Cooley.

Cooley would have 8 out of 12 NCAA appearances at Providence if they played the NCAA's in the Covid year.

He's done a remarkable job at that program, comparing Providence to UConn is disingenuous. UConn is supposed to be playing the second weekend of the tournament, Providence isn't even supposed to be making the tournament regularly.

Lol

Pathetic.

Is that the only confence ranking metric? There is a half dozen more, bust em out

 

[auror]

Souley Boum has had a great game, but that was one of the worst passes I've ever seen. Marquette ball down 1 with shot clock off.

 

[CTBasketball]

Wow Xavier forgot to box out!

 

[CTBasketball]

Our bottom half is so bad that it should automatically put us behind a few conferences. Metrics aside.

 

[superjohn]

Happy about the win by Marquette because I'm a fan of them but that was quite a choke by Xavier.

 

[REB1094]

Wow, Xavier threw that one away. 2 turnovers, a shooting foul, and a gave up a wide open tip layup to lose the game all within the last 30ish seconds

GREAT game! Really impressed with Boum other than that last turnover, and Stevie Mitchell

 

[auror]

Top 4 Big East teams improve to 30-0 at home.

People talk like we are in Big12.

 

[navery12]

This year's Big East tournament is gonna be so much fun, any of the top 5 teams could make a run

That's silly, there's no reason August and you should be selling the conference short to make a point. It was supposed to be an ugly season for the conference, it's not. The league is really good.
