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.

The troubling fact is we’re not. Not that others picked below us eat our lunch. Credit to them

I’m not saying the conference is bad, it’s good. I think our Top 4 can compete with most conferences. But to say bottom to top that we’re a top 3 league is a little aggressive.

No, we're the 5th team in my post. Our odds are at like 85% of being the 5 seed right now

Are we 5th?

Jesus lay off numbers. Odds on 12/31 was we were favored in every game for rest of season.

And lost to St. John’s at home. Wish they handed out November trophies

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?

Coming in hot with the sizzle-lite takes.

I don't care about the standings on 2/15 and that we're in 6th place with an uneven Big East schedule. We're going to finish 5th in the Big East and hopefully gain some momentum in the BE tournament going into March

What about 6th place team? You tapping out?

SHU is going to stay in fifth? Seriously their end of year final four games will be a rough one for them. @ Uconn, X, Nova, @PC.

Who knows the future but they have a rough four games.

If I were a betting man I would say it goes Marquette, X, Creighton, PC, UConn, SHU 1-6.

We hope for the same things obviously

We have games against teams that have already beaten us ,( except DePaul ) and nova on road. Easy. Right?

Meh. We are significantly behind the Big 12 and Big 10 again. The league is not at good as last year if you look at OOC records (and it's not really close).

I've calmed down a little because we beat Marquette soundly, but if/when? we flame out in the first round, this place will burn to the ground. I don't trust Hurley in March.

At home? Yea easier. We lost to Creighton and Marquette on the road and outclassed both of them on our home court

So you chalk up ST John’s road as a loss by that judgement?

St. John's is on the road.

I don't understand why so many on the board are acting like it's a foregone conclusion we go 5-0 with what we have left. Providence at home, Johnnie's on the road, and Nova on the road are far from easy. We haven't really strung together wins all conference season and I figured we all know by now how hard road games are for us.

I feel like we should win them all because of our talent but I also felt like this should've been a three loss season after we did what we did out of conference.

Shaka doing a great job at Marquette in year two. Would be nice if they were closer so we could develop a rivalry

I don’t expect 5-0. I think we lose one of PC or Nova.

It's not an easy end, though it is easier than almost any other five game stretch so far in BE play with no more road games against X, Marquette, Creighton, and PC.

Still would you take the five UConn has or the four SHU has?




BTW I was completely shocked there was another close game today at Marquette and the home team won. Just shocking. It's almost like it's hard to win a close game in the BE on the road. That or Miller is a horrible coach at the end of games on the road. I mean he and X were up like 4 with only a few minutes to go. /s

Right. UConn hasn't earned the "they'll win out" designation. Given who they have left, you take 3-2 every day of the week.

Did I say that, but easier than SHU no? They lost to X, Nova and PC already also and beat UConn by 1 at home. Easy. Right?

I like this game where you point something out that is easily countered by the same logic you try and use.

Except those teams were not playing “Jackson defense” against us then.

It’s why I think it’s pipe dream to imagine us ever being that dominant again.

Every coach in america should be playing D like Creighton against us.
