Final BE OOC thread 25/26

This Bryce Lindsay is a dead eye shooter. He is the player that kept Nova in the game against BYU.

Hopefully, Nova doesn't get called for flagrant.

Impressive response from Nova on the road after they blew it in regulation. They gathered themselves and dominated overtime. Nice hearing the Nova chants.

Duke Brennan is a nice big.

He is, Linsey can stroke it. 3 players shooting over 40% from three is impressive. Not a bad team, better with Lewis off the floor, for now at least.

I wonder if he would have been better at UConn if he had stayed. He probably wouldn't have played much his first 2 years but at least he would have been on 2 national championship teams rather than mired in mediocrity at PC.

He doesn’t really do anything really well. A combo guard without any real outside shot or passing feel.

The problem is that other conference bubble teams have way more opportunities to build a resume in-conference. Non con was more important for the big east teams. It's not a lost cause for the Villanova's of the world if they lose tonight, but their margin for error is a lot smaller.

The Quad wins are tiebreakers at best. The overall NET/KenPom is decisive, and the Big East will be fine. The biggest risk for the league is a team that faceplanted in the non-conference playing well in conference play. This is also known as "Pulling a Rutgers", as the Big 10 has learned over the last 10 years. Providence and Creighton are both risks for winning 12 or 13 league games despite being repugnant in the non-conference.

Another weird thing to watch is that I think the ACC is about to go on a tear in Major vs. Major OOC games. It has about 32 OOC games left, with 8 against major conference opponents. I think the ACC is going to win 29 and 6 of those games.

Is your mind blown that the Big East team didn't lose by 50 points? I checked, and it turns out the Big East teams have won some other non-conference games. How is that possible?

That's a weird take.

Yes, it was a very good win for Nova. Nice to see. How good is Wisconsin?

Lewis is usually good but he did suck in the later stages of that game. Nova is solid in Willard's first year, don't really have any dynamic athletes yet but they have good solid fundamental players.

Willard is going to turn it around there in a hurry. Neptune was just so bad and such a ridiculous hire for a program of that stature.

I'm not rooting against the Big East. I am just being realistic about where the conference is. I just find it so strange that you have your head buried in the sand and refuse to admit where the conference is. Anyone that posts anything remotely against the Big East being good this year and you go ballistic. That's the only issue I have with you. I'm sure you're a nice guy but this makes you seem really strange. That's why many of us have been mocking you the last week or two.
 
Admittedly I don't know too much about Northwestern as their only remaining player from 2 years ago is Nick Martinelli (they lost to UConn in 2nd rd in 2024) and their only P5 win is a narrow 2 or win against DePaul. Butler should win easily-not good for the Big East if they don't.
Sr. John's being most likely the 2nd best team in the Big East has to beat Kentucky. That's the game I will have the most attention on. If the lose to Kentucky that would be a major dent for the Big East.

That is not what is happening. A handful of posters make the same tired posts about the League over and over, in almost every thread where the league is mentioned. You, for some reason, piled on.

The only way you could have made it worse was to pretend it was trolling. Oof.

Butler is a 2 point favorite so I doubt it's an easy win for them. Hopefully that's the case but that's a high expectation
