Wednesday. 1st Round of Big East Tournament

[crazyUCfan23]

Wow Xavier.

 

[ASweet3781]

Now beat Creighton

Scared of Creighton? Get out of here. So cowardly.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Butler great end game management

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

WTH?? Why foul??

Someone wake Rafferty up.

Some very questionable coaching moves in this game.

 

[ASweet3781]

Terrible finish and terrible announcing.

 

[superjohn]

Now beat Creighton

, I want Creighton.

What a game...Xavier must be kicking themselves right now, oof.

 

[Tenspro2002]

That probably knocks Xavier out of the Tournament.

Like I said, BE will get only 3 bids.

Xavier’s coach is small time. School should cut its losses. Xavier can attract a better coach than this nobody.

I think the St. John's-Seton Hall winner gets in now.

ok, I'm an idiot. I had paused the game for about a minute back in the first half and forgot, so I've been commenting on delay. but fun game!

He jinxed them when he bought everyone shots at the bar mask-less.

 

[rollskies]

I’m confused. Was that foul intentional? They must have thought they had one to give? Maybe they wanted to take the chance on the one-and-one? I have no clue what that was.

A reach in foul with 3 seconds left up 1. As bad as a foul as you will ever see. Have to make the opponent hit a shot to beat you. Just terrible. Donny Marshall finally brings it up after the announcers and everyone else fail to point out how dumb it was.

Seton Hall maybe can get in with a win. St. John's needs to beat Villanova.

 

[Jimdish255]

Xavier falls apart but I agree St. Johns has been playing well. They need a win or 2 to get in and there's a path for that to happen with Nova's injuries.

 

[HuskyBoi]

That was sad from a Xavier POV.

Just try to stay in front of your man and contest his shot and don't reach with 3 seconds left. But those players are in the heat of the moment with thousands watching. I don't know

They had so.many great coaches in a row that you just kind of expected Steele to be the same, he's not.

 

[millertime7774]

Seton Hall maybe can get in with a win. St. John's needs to beat Villanova.

I was kind of thinking the opposite, Hall would be 14-13. I know this year is trash, but I can't remember anyone getting in one game over .500. Thing is, we have no idea what the committee is going to do.

 

[HooperScooper]

If you can't beat Butler with your a-- on the line then you don't deserve to make the NCAA Tournament. Plain and simple.

 

[MCNPA]

I don't know. He recruits well and this team has talent but they have no identity.

Crazy part of it is, of all things, I would have thought the guy that was one of the hardest working players on the court, would field a team the opposite. He seems trapped between the Duke recruiting persona and the gym rat he was and the recruiter won. His teams never play the way he played. Maybe he was a better player than communicator/coach?

Kinda sad because I hated Wojo when he played, but his teams don’t play that way.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Loved that Kemba step back flashback they just showed. Never gets old. You can tell Marshall loves the praise for his former team.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

PC and DePaul games this year
95-90
57-47

Think we'll see something closer to 57-47 tonight

Thursday was always my favorite day. Lots of good games starting early. Morning beers. Interacting with other fans. Then getting Friday and Saturday tickets on the cheap from the losers headed out of town. Feels so good watching the BET again.
