Final BE OOC thread 25/26

Butler and Villanova winning these last 2 opens the door a bit wider for 5-bids. 4 is probably most likely. Butler injury for Kaiser isn't ideal, though. And now maybe we have to worry about St. John's missing.

I would not be too disappointed in 4 all things considered. What disappoints me is only having one true contender. Even recently there have always been 2-3 top 4 seeds. Looking like just us this year

Luckily, our contention will be the truest of the true. No way we crap the bed before the regionals.

You mean it helps to have a real point guard?

St. John’s Pitino concedes major recruiting ‘fault’ after loss to Kentucky

It’s starting early for the used car salesman this year in throwing his team under the bus

How does that team stay motivated?

1-1 day.

Winner: Butler
Loser: St. John’s

Overall: 83-34 (22-28).

Four buy games left that are all must wins.

St. John's loss moved them down on Torvik, shifting us into being favored in every remaining game

BE is better then the American. It’s all I got.

It is light years better than the American.

 

[prankster]

We need to get into a better conference ASAP!

Yes! Please!

The American is Siberia. The Big East is South Dakota.

Which is totally one entire state better than being North Dakota.

This team plays nothing like Pitino teams of the past. Outside of the track meet against Alabama they're boring. They don't create turnovers, the guard play isn't there. It's just a group of talented players with no identity at all. Really disappointing job by Pitino.

I'll be interested to see if he can get buy in or if some players eventually check out. Hurley should mop the floor with him.

Last years team generated a lot of extra shots through turnovers and offensive rebounds. They’d take 10+ shotS mort than their opponent. This teams is lifeless that way. Hopkins was a lousy fit. He’s a lazy shot hawk.

Worth mentioning, Georgetown just lost to a Xavier team at home who just lost to Creighton at home by a 100. Gtwon stinks - when will Cooley put a decent product out there? Marquette with another 20 point loss. That team isn't even competetive.

Our only shots at losing this year:

@Creighton
@SHU
@StJ

And not even sure those three aren't really winnable.
