PC/Creighton thread

Creighton 20/20 on FTs - that’s nuts

That means they must have won, right?

 

[3rdbass]

Does this win get PC into the dance?

It has to.

 

[BugsyCT]

All this PC love - what a difference 5 days makes. But I am glad they won tonight.

The computers don't like them at all but I feel like this should get them in, Big East with 6.

 

[auror]

Well this is a great result for us.

 

[John]

Nice win for Friars

 

[Umami Zen]

Creighton goes down

Not love... Just rooting to take Creighton out, which they did!

that's what I was thinking. It's a huge win for them.

And Nova still in play. Although they might steal a Big East bid at this point.

I think so. They were last 4 out before this game. Creigton choked at FT line at end. Floyd with nice deflection. Pierre and Barron really stepped up.

 

[BPT2Storrs]

A Nova win next gets us an old school BE semifinals. MSG will be rocking.

 

[98Uconn]

I just screwed us for tomorrow and bought tix for the finals

Nova doesn't even deserve tournament talk IMO but the computers have always liked them.

Resume metrics, which are more important than the predictive metrics for tournament selection, are not quite as down on them. Well, SOR likes them quite a bit, puts them right on the bubble before this win. For some reason the other resume metric on the sheet KPI, which is normally mostly in lockstep with SOR, has them like 30 spots worse.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Now they'll probably get smoked by Marquette.

 

[gsmooth]

PC was killing that drop coverage with pick and roll to set up relatively easy mid range.

 

[formerlurker]

Not gonna lie. I'm happy for that Providence team. F*_+ their scum fan base though. I hope that ugly group of hoopers lose their next BE game and 1st round in the tourney.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

What a win!!!!!! Congrats to Providence fans! Bada$$!

 

[ecasadoSBU]

6 for the BIG EAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[superjohn]

Did Providence just take Seton Hall's bid?

No

 

[David54]

Carter looks like he’s 40

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Did Providence just take Seton Hall's bid?

Nah I dont think so. I think Seton Hall is in anyway. 13-7 Big East team, 20-12 overall should never be left out

 

[mauconnfan]

Good for PC I think they’re in and Creighton went to a 4 seed.

Do you root for PC vs Marquette or you can’t?

 

[metsfan2323]

What a win!!!!!! Congrats to Providence fans!

Why don't you just admit you always root for Providence. Congrats on your big win.

Kim English in his postgame interview said he was trying to find his 3rd monster after Hopkins went down. Later he said they played poorly against us, and then added as an aside that "UConn has 7 monsters."

 

[Devland]

English reminds me of Ollie.

 

[Icehawk]

That was a good one, gotta say.

 

[John]

English reminds me of Ollie.

Oh boy.
