Final BE OOC thread 25/26

I ran a teamcast on Torvik for Creighton: assuming win over Utah Tech and a loss to Butler in the BET quarterfinals, if they finish 14-6 in league play (20-12 overall), they will be the fourth to last team in. This is assuming 2x losses to UConn and St. John's and a loss to both Nova and Seton Hall on the road.

For Butler: assuming win over NJIT and a loss to Nova in the BET quarterfinals, if they finish 12-8 in league play (21-11 overall), the will be the second to last team in. This is assuming 2x losses to UConn and St. John's and losses to Creighton, Villanova, Seton Hall, and Providence on the road.

For Nova: assuming a loss to Butler in the BET quarterfinals, if they finish 12-8 in league play (21-11 overall), they will be the last bye. This is assuming 2x losses to UConn and St. John's and losses to Creighton, Butler, Seton Hall, and Providence on the road.

For Seton Hall: assuming a loss to Butler in the BET quarterfinals, if they finish 12-8 in league play (22-10 overall), they will be the last bye. This is assuming 2x losses to UConn, St. John's and Villanova and losses to Creighton and Butler on the road.

For St. John's: assuming a loss to Butler in the BET quarterfinals, if they finish 12-8 in league play (19-13 overall), they will be a #10 seed. This is assuming 2x losses to UConn and Villanova, and losses on the road to Seton Hall, Providence, Creighton, and Butler.

On a funny note, with the St. John's prediction (and each of these are separate), Torvik has six BE teams in (the five above and UConn).

Fascinating. We should revisit this at the end of the season just for S___s and giggles. Can I pin this just for my purposes(how?)
 
I almost expect to lose to Seton Hall. We aren't going 20-0 or 19-1 so we will have to lose to somebody.

Can we talk about how awful Marquette is? It's really so much worse than I could have imagined. This team is getting pounded.

We have, they're the worst team in the league this season. Marquette leadership needs to sit down with Shaka and either get with the program or get that resume ready.

Out of curiosity, don't you need to run a teamcast for all schools (well, likely about 120 or so as a couple hundred are in one bid conferences) to determine where any of these school would end up?

Hot take - 19-1, one healthy loss to either SHU or Creighton.

I wouldn’t care if StJ doesn’t make tourney. I’m a UConn fan at this point, not a BE fan. Those days are over. It was fun when we had teams that actually had a chance to make runs. Those days look all but over.

They very well may be over, I am not sure. But what I am sure about is this year no Big East team besides UConn has a chance in hell of making the Elite 8, or dare I say, the Sweet 16.

These Big East teams are playing spoiler to UConn this season. Their games against UConn will be circled on their calendars and treated like their Super Bowl, especially their home games against UConn. Health, game planning, and strategizing will be important for UConn against these teams, as it always will be for every game. However, not to be understated, it will also be important for UConn to have the attitude to match or exceed the intensity of these opponents basically to say "you are not defeating us to give you a resume building lifeline, find another way to the Big Dance."

I agree, but they also stink. And this UConn team is really good and built to grind down opponents. I don't see many upsets.

Our only shots at losing this year:

@Creighton
@SHU
@StJ

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

After watching the first half today would you please take this back? I know they ended up winning by 18 but still.

You don't think any other Big East teams other than UConn will ever make any tournament runs ever again?

There is a shot we can lose to the top half of the conference as always, not like these teams are worse than Seton Hall team that beat us by 15.

But I’d be surprised if we take a loss in Q2 or worse. I’m expecting our losses all on the road to 3 of the Hall, Creighton, St. John’s or Villanova. If I had to choose, I think we sweep the Johnnies oddly enough.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no BE team other than us will make a F4 in the next 10 years. I'd be hard pressed to thinking they'll make an Elite 8.

Only program I'd hold out on is Nova. That's going to take time.

Marquette and Creighton were second weekend teams just the past 2-3 years ago

They just aren't good. He obviously expected more from Gold and Jones and both of them haven't produced as expected. Jones at least has an excuse considering he is coming back from an injury. Gold has just been bad so far.

Nothing changed that drastically to think that can’t happen again. Hell I hate St John’s this season and I think they could make a sweet 16.

NC State, FAU and San Diego St made a final 4 recently.

Shaheen Holloway(you know the SH coach) got St Peter’s to an elite 8.

Nova is not even 10 years removed from winning championships

Saying no BE outside of UConn will make an elite 8 in the next decade is a bad bet.

And I think the conference sucks this year

Don't you know that EVERYTHING CHANGED in the past year, or something? I can't keep up. Either way, the Big East is the WCC and one seeds will dominate forever. Please don't check this prediction in the future.
 
3-0 tonight.

Winners: Georgetown, Creighton, and Butler.

86-34 (22-28).

Last OOC game tomorrow: St. John's vs. Harvard.

St. John's won't lose to Harvard. If they do Pitino might pull what he did to the Celtics and walk out half way through the season.
