I spent 2.5 hours at a Brewery two weeks ago, no Vax. It was fine.

Refs are letting teams play Big East basketball this tourney.

Fouls by game

Georgetown/Marquette: 10/18 total fouls
Butler/Xavier: 11/13 total fouls (including OT)
DePaul/Providence: 24/19 total fouls
Georgetown/Nova: 18/21 total fouls
St.Johns/Seton Hall: 4/5 total fouls (first half)

Only twice in 5 games (including this one pacing well under) has a team been called for over 20 fouls. Hope Hurley is on the refs about that if the tick-tack fouls start racking up for us early. Every crew so far is letting them play.

This BET has been hugely entertaining, but has also been basically a worst case scenario for NCAA Tournament visibility for the conference.

1) Xavier knocked out of the Tournament with a loss to Butler
2) Providence (potential bid-stealer) knocked out
3) Villanova loses, meaning the top seed in the BE is maybe a 4 or even a 5 at this point
4) Villanova losing takes away a marquee win opportunity from bubble teams SH or SJ, who at this point need to win the BET to get in, since Georgetown and SH/SJ aren't marquee wins

On the other hand, one of GT/SJ/SH will be in the BET final and have a non-zero chance to earn the auto-bid.

However, the most likely scenario at this point is one I predicted earlier in the week:
- epic UConn/Creighton semi-final game, the winner goes on to win the BET, and the conference gets only 3 bids with so-so seeds

Definitely not a strong year for the league.
 
great drive and dunk from mamu. hall playing with the desperation they were missing when we played 'em last week.
 
An undersized St. Johns team makes Obiagu and Mamu look like David Robinson and Tim Duncan. Our big guys really made them uncomfortable.

And yet, and yet...we pulled those big guys. :mad:
 
Great finish from Williams there. Take contact, shield the ball, shoot.
 
I’m still disappointed that Hurley didn’t get Coach of the Year, but St. John’s is a very well coached team.
 
This tournament sure is exciting thus far between these two games this afternoon and the OT game with Butler and Xavier yesterday.

If only the Garden was full of fans.
 
I have to say I love these low camera angle shots. Much of the year it felt like we were watching HS games with a single, high mounted sideline camera.

A bit of hero-ball by Mamu cost Seton Hall a possession.

he did it again -- drive and spin to force a difficult shot against a double team.

that being said, i'd rather see mamu forcing shots than freemantle or duke completely disappearing in crunch time.
 
These games have been fun to watch today! The antithesis of the AAC tournament
