January - Other Big East Games

[jibsey]

Dependence on favorable officiating rarely translates well into March. Note Providence's anemic March performance under Cooley.

Announcer says yesterday basically, “great transfer players should want to play for Cooley or McDermit over anyone else”. I almost spit out my Frosted Flakes. Unbelievable.

Villanova has made the decision that they will not be dancing this year.

Maybe Jay Wright will unretire

 

[willie99]

Your PC hate is real....kinda funny. Last yr PC was lucky, this yr they get all the call....what will it be next season.

Bottom line, we beat
Bama
ISU
FL (in their building)
OR (in their state)

PC lost to
TCU
St Louis
Miami

So while we're trying to pull Big East teams off the bubble and into the dance, PC is our counterweight

 

[prankster]

So you're saying taking after Deepster is the way to go??

Mine was more of an observation than a recommendation.

Villanova in a battle with Georgetown late.

 

[jibsey]

Dixon 12 pump fakes, layup, foul. Rinse repeat.

 

[jibsey]

Are those our guards playing for Gtown losing the ball with a chance to win?

 

[Matt1010]

Didn't impact the result but please tell me someone else saw Neptune sub out Whitmore in favor of Chris Arcidiacono for the most meaningful offensive possession of the game with ~30 seconds left. Absolute coaching malpractice.

 

[bendm]

now that the John Thompson coaching tree has finally withered and died after 70 years, would Gtown ever hire pitino? then once rick gets them back on the map they can hire his son.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Greg McDermott has the Danny Hurley anti-big man problem. King Jr. is the 6th best player on Creighton, and #7 doesn't matter, but King and Kalkbrenner are never on the court together.

McDermott is good, but I don't think he will get Creighton to be more than a perennial bubble team that occasionally sneaks into the Sweet 16. They are a little too low percentage in their shot selection.

 

[Kolumbo]

As long as things go well tonight I may be interested in the other game of importance. friars are 7.5 dogs on the road at marquette. good.

 

[Kolumbo]

DePaul has been leading X but what difference does it make.

 

[storrsroars]

DePaul hangs on - that should be film that Dan Hurley leads with tomorrow on how to close out if for no other reason than to tell his guys that DePaul is better than they are.

DePaul has been leading X but what difference does it make.

They could lose 5 of 6 too, right?

 

[storrsroars]

Nova taking control late at MSG vs Johnnies in a rock fight. Not sure either team will score 55.

 

[auror]

Curbelo is so out of control.

St. John's is much better with Pinzon and Storr. The Mathis injury led them to back into those guys.

 

[auror]

Dixon just got about 8 seconds in the middle of the paint and then the refs gave him a foul with 1 sec on the shot clock in a 1 possession game.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Now that’s how you beat St Johns

 

[wheelerdog]

49 in 40 minutes tonight for SJU. 41 in the 2nd half last Sunday. SMH

 

[BigFanCT]

How the hell did we lose to St. John’s

 

[Edward Sargent]

Now that’s how you beat St Johns

And hopefully Dan Hurley has this film on speed dial for the boys

 

[jibsey]

Dixon just got about 8 seconds in the middle of the paint and then the refs gave him a foul with 1 sec on the shot clock in a 1 possession game.

Fine, but wouldn't it be nice if we had someone able to do that?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Vile

[TyroneShoo]

This was expected- Villanova owns MSG. 27-3 heading into tonight in last 8 years or so.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Curbelo is so out of control.

St. John's is much better with Pinzon and Storr. The Mathis injury led them to back into those guys.

Curbelo's looked in control against us though
