Nova, St. John's, Georgetown...all gone

[Fishy]

The only basketball fans left in Manhattan right now are from Nebraska.

Best place to find a real, live Big East fan right now is on an Amtrak train.

How far behind is gamecast from live action? St. Johns just pulled within 8...strike that 5 with 2:28 left. They were down huge...

...now 3.

 

[Penfield]

may have spoke to soon St Johns down 3 w/ 2:28 left

It never fails....the internet is a mojo killer...

 

[Fishy]

The game is still going on? ESPN app has it as a final for the past 20 minutes.

 

[Husky25]

That may do it. 2 poss. game with :24 left.

 

[alexd]

SJU should have been shooting FT's to tie it....terrible non call. What a gift.

 

[Penfield]

It never fails....the internet is a mojo killer...

In that case - Looks like UL is a lock to win this game vs Rutgers.

 

[gtcam]

where the hell were they other years. you guys only show up for the amateur hour where you have a prayer?

 

[Fishy]

The Nova game was a killer for whoever wins this thing - they lose the chance for a good win and win the chance for a bad loss.

Lots of murders happening in the afternoon here....UL up 41, San Diego State up 38, Pitt up 30, Arizona up 35.

Why is PC wearing Huey Lewis and the News t-shirts???

 

[Husky25]

Early afternoon games were much closer, better, and more entertaining.

Hoping Creighton just destroys everyone for years to come

 

[ASweet3781]

So are the Johnnies heading for the NIT?

 

[superjohn]

Nova, St. Johns and G'Town don't exactly have the best fan bases.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Great games today. A lot of upsets. Lets see how many Creighton fans show up now that Nova got upset.

St. John's is such a disappointment. Every time...

I kind of want to see DePaul and Marquette win. A final between the winner of DePaul/Marquette and SHU/PC. Lol, that would be so awful. Best would be a DePaul/SHU final.

Really kind of sad. SJU and Georgetown gone. They both pretty much suck but at least they were recognizable names. Probably a 3-bid league. PC eliminates SJU but won't get much benefit from that "W" and now faces a game that only represents a bad loss. A win against Seton Hall does nothing for them. Depending on what happens to other bubble teams they probably need to win the whole thing to get into the NCAA's.

Sad? We have Houston playing in our semis and it's not 1983. They play in front of 1500 for their home games. There are un ranked women's basketball teams that could average what Houston averaged this year.

I'm not a big Big East defender but we our casting a heckuva a lot of stones at them when the AAC is going to be losing a lot of cred when Louisville heads off for greener pastures.

 

[caw]

Fouls were pretty even the whole game. PC was "getting fd" bc Cooley played 6 guys. That's on PC and Cooley not the refs.

I dislike both SJU and PC pretty evenly so I think I'm relatively unbiased.

I started to watch last night but the Garden looked empty. It was depressing and I changed the channel.

 

[Lefty2one]

Saw an NBA guy on Twitter tweet that an NBA scout at MSG said he was glad Nova lost because every NBA team knows they don't have a single potential pro on their roster lol. They'd rather see some of the other BE teams (though I'm sure they'll be disappointed there as well).

And this is the #3 team in the nation and Big East regular season champ. My how the times have changed.
