Game to watch today

[QuickDraw]

Marquette vs Creighton, if the bluejays win we secure at least a share of the BE title & secure it solo with any win the rest of the way. I like our chances at our first BE (or other) regular season title in 18 years. Seems wrong we haven't done this since 06', but here we are.
Go Huskies!

 

[Chosen]

Game is at 2:30 on FOX. Go Creighton. But we need to take care of business by beating Seton Hall tomorrow.

Kolek is questionable to play with an oblique injury.

For those of you keeping an eye on the boys from Hard Hittin', we need 2 things to happen today for CCSU to get the 1-seed in the Northeast Conference:
1. Central must win at home--1:00 pm game.
2. AND Sacred Heart must knock off Merrimack in Fairfield--2:00 pm game.
Seeding is highly important in the NEC because every tournament game is played on campus at the home court of the higher seed. Central will end up being either the 1 or 2 seed. Sacred Heart is locked in as the 3 seed.

You didn't say who Central is playing today.

Last place Stonehill. Torvik has us winning 75-61 with a 92% win chance. FWIW Stonehill has had a rough transition to D1 these past couple years.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Nova at Providence a good one too

 

[Kolumbo]

SHU @ UConn
oh, it's tomorrow, because we have 11 teams.

 

[Rico444]

Kolek is questionable to play with an oblique injury.

Keep an eye on that line. It was -5.5 when I checked last night and is holding steady, so I'd imagine Vegas thinks he's probably going to play.

EDIT: Should've specified that's Creighton -5.5.

A part of me is hugely excited at the thought of a one-game winner take all throw down @Marquette on Wednesday... a bigger part of me won't be too disappointed if Creighton messes that up.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Not Big East related, but Gonzaga and St Mary's play tonight. Always a good game.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Will Steve Splashworth or Steve Ashworthless show up today?

Splashworth or Assworth...

Getting hyped for Cuse/Louisville…

Why? Obviously the TV contract is worth less if the Big East won’t supply games on both Saturday and Sunday. Unless you’re willing to fund the difference, why the snark?

because some people think there is no flexibility and what is, must be. No reason UConn couldn't have played today with 6 days off instead of 7 especially following a week off, and then have 3 days rest instead of just 2 before its next game. and no reason this had to be the week UConn was off just as fans are gearing up for the post season. But you know better, it had to fall this way because we have an odd number of teams.

Don't you think CBS wanted the game to be tomorrow? It's in their prime Sunday slot with their top broadcast crew calling the game.

Watch Marquette still win as Creighton mails it in.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I feel a bit bad for Marquette not having a fully healthy Kolek but,...

My biggest concern is how we react in Milwaukee if we have the conference regular season (and one seed in the BET) wrapped up by tomorrow afternoon. We cannot view anythng as a throwaway game, even if it technically would be.

perhaps but that don't confront me. And I could be wrong but Sunday noon seems like the absolute least prime slot for a college basketball game.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Splashworth or Assworth...

My recommendation is neither of ya'll launch a nicknaming startup

I can see a gripe about a couple things:

• both midweek this week and now this weeekend, the five BE games were scheduled four on one day and one on the other (could have been two and three in either order)
• We are not only travelling for Tuedsay's game, but will have one fewer off day between games than the home team (although the full week off before this two game stretch could be used as a counter-argument).

I'm not sure that I can remember (shy of the January 1996 blizzard postponing the Villanova game) where one of our games was moved to a different day after the full schedule with dates was announced and season tickets were distributed. I could be wrong here but moving games this late in the season appears to be more trouble than it would be worth.

No. It’s not as he wants so it’s either a conspiracy or a travesty. American in 2024 in a nutshell.

 

[firstnline]

Michigan State vs. Purdue and Bama vs. Tennessee, both at 8pm this evening.

 

[AdamaNation]

let’s get into this second 14
game winning streak

 

[SoFla Steve]

Second half at Providence. Nova scores the first 7 pts. Friars haven't scored at the first TV break. Crowd is still standing for the first made bucket!

Now an 18-2 run for Nova to start the half.

 

[Hi-Low]

Nova on fire! Put a nail in Friars

Nah. The BE title is ours regardless of what anyone else does today. The first of many steps coming.

 

[SoFla Steve]

If Nova hit even most of their bunnies this would be a blowout.
