Quarterfinal Thursday in the Big East

[HuskyHawk]

It is a down year but the Big East was screwed over by Covid more than any of the other big conferences. They beat up on each other in conference play but never got to improve resumes with out of conference matchups.

I think they all did that, but it meant that the teams that had high rankings coming in kept those. The whole system is messed this year. B1G looks good because it looked good pre-season, and not really for any other reason.

Fox is such a superior product to ESPN. Raff, Gus, and Brando doing play by play with Lavin and Donny in the studio. Every single one of those guys has personality and they actually break the game down.

Conversely I was looking at the NCAA announcing teams and I'm already bored.

 

[CL82]

I get mojo. But they stink. They had won 4 games before last night. We should beat them handidly

Oh don't do that. Don't ever do that.

 

[HooperScooper]

and just moments ago Kentucky lost too!

Their season was cooked at least a month ago. Kinda excited to say that too.

I literally watched UVA his the buzzer beater against Syracuse then switched to see Kentucky lose seconds later. It was glorious.

Donny Marshall is really a wise ass. Not everyone thinks he is funny. I like it.

He was kind of a wise ass when he played too!

 

[BugsyCT]

Creighton/Butler underway. Last game before we take the floor!

Really hard to believe we haven't played in this tournament since 2012. Sucks that our return is during a pandemic but it's good to be back in MSG.

 

[upstater]

Who would win in a game between Butler and Tulane?

 

[shizzle787]

That is because of Covid. That is not the norm.

However, I think it might be a good idea going forward.

 

[elmcityboy]

two creighton players collide. looks like it could be a concussion and/or a broken nose. terrible luck in the big east this year...

 

[WestHartHusk]

However, I think it might be a good idea going forward.

Not if you are selling tickets. Games closer together to create 2 sessions to sell tickets to.

 

[RedStickHusky]

So what's worse than annihilation? Asking for a friend at Butler.

I literally watched UVA his the buzzer beater against Syracuse then switched to see Kentucky lose seconds later. It was glorious.

And then Duke announced their season is over. Glorious day after all!!!

some gaudy shooting percentage numbers creighton is putting up -almost 70% overall, 66% from 3 on 6-9

 

[Kenny11]

I disagree. I think we'll crush DePaul tonight. They arent good

They have some talent that will look great in garbage time when they cut it to 15 or so 😁

Hard to believe both of these kids returned to the game. That was a rough hit!

 

[awfuldan]

Non-contact knee injury for Myles Tate of Butler... doesn't look good

 

[prankster]

Non-contact knee injury for Myles Tate of Butler... doesn't look good

More ending season than season ending. Looked like, to me.

Outcome about the same, though.

Zeg is a problem when he’s feeling it.

It’s amazing what happens when a TV partner actually cares about it’s product and not just 3 teams (cough cough ESPN with Duke, UNC, Kentucky)

Not looking ahead to tomorrow but Cole will shut him down for the 3rd time. Not worried

That low camera angle is hard to watch though...I hate it.

 

[UKemba15]

How the heck did Xavier lose to this Butler team? They are garbage...can’t shoot, can’t defend. Did they just have a randomly hot game yesterday?

 

[Gurleyman]

If Butler is looking for some positives, with that three-point play, they have now outscored their 2011 team in the national championship game.
