January - Other Big East Games

I expect Creighton will beat Providence today. They're better than 9-8. Had a brutal schedule thus far.

Cooley gets a T because Providence can't flop and flail and get every call. I hope the refs chuck him. And the amount of chatter from the Providence players at the refs is simply amazing. Shut the fudge up and play basketball. Why aren't the refs ringing them up with T's?

They haven't played a road game against a good team in conference yet, so they're used to getting all the calls.

Kalkbrenner was out for 2 of those losses, and less than 100% for a couple of other games.

100% correct. Providence is used to getting all BS calls with their flailing and now they are not getting their calls and it has caught them by surprise. Which is why their players are talking so much to the officials. Croswell is a tough defender and rebounder, but has zero offensive skill- he is a reckless bull in a China shop. Do you see where Kalkbrenner is on defense when Croswell catches a pass at the foul line? 4 feet from the basket daring Croswell to shoot.

Look at the UConn game box score and you will see a cRoswell scored almost all of his points at the foul line from BS calls.
 
Creighton's bench is weak. I like King, but McDermott won't play King and Kalkbrenner together, and the guards on the bench are terrible. Mitchell and Farabello can hit a wide open 3, but otherwise are not high level D1 players. Miller is a frosh so it is hard to tell with him, but he is not able to contribute meaningful minutes yet.

Scheierman going off. 17 points at halftime.

Scheierman is known for his long range 3s, but his movement without the ball off the screens is very good and his passing and floor vision is very good, too.

Unfortunately yes. Hopkins used his off hand to move Scheierman’s arms and still got the foul call, smh. Well, I guess good on Hopkins for being able to draw that call

They will run into an officiating crew in the tournament that will be unimpressed by Hopkins' and Carter's antics.
 
Creighton pushed the lead to 16 to start the half, but Providence has clawed all the way back to within 4. Devin Carter's defense on display.
 
Scheierman (4 fouls) and Kalkbrenner out of the game, Providence goes on an immediate 7-0 run to tie the game. You just knew Kaluma was going to miss a couple shots after it became "his turn".
 
Scheierman’s plus minus must be really high. Give Providence credit they have fought back. Locke’s 3s and Hopkins being aggressive we’re effective in this comeback
 
PC may get a gift from the refs on the road with Scheierman in foul trouble. At least 2 of those were phantom fouls.

Hopkins got called for a foul just above the free throw line, and then ran to almost the other end of the court flailing his arms complaining about the call. The PC players show up the refs on every whistle. How much of this garbage are the refs going to tolerate?
 
Hopkins is the best player in the conference. I’ve seen enough. He’s masking a lot for providence offensively
 
Anyone else watch the Seton Hall @ DePaul game?

Wasn't impressed with either squad. Seton Hall's defense is legit, but their offense is atrocious. Dawes has great range and Richmond is impressive down low, but big difference having Newton guard Richmond compared to Cole.
 
McDermott just threw a curveball. Completely left Kalkbrenner to play free safety in the middle of the paint. 1 man zone. Doesn't care about Providence's guards getting a 3 off the dribble in PnR whatsoever.

Think he's been doing that all game. Kalkbrenner hasn't played D against Croswell on the perimeter at all from what I've seen.
