Marquette vs Nova tipping off at 2:30 this afternoon

 

[HooperScooper]

Watching. Very good game so far. 43-40 Marquette at the half after a buzzer beating layup by Kolek. It's been very close almost the entire half.

 

[auror]

Nova hot early from 3. They got into trouble a few times due to being on road. Driving to nowhere with no plan. Sped up. Led to turnovers and Marquette took the lead. Ighodaro has been good.

Marquette getting bullied on the boards this half.
Nova will give us fits Saturday, they space well and prioritize the three, which we struggle slightly to guard. Still see nothing out of Armstrong, but am definitely worried about the Dixon matchup nightmare

 

[MJKI]

Marquette immediately with a run there. Good answer from Kolek and crew

 

[How Sway?!]

If Nova misses the tournament, Neptune is gone right?

 

[Bazz4A]

Don’t think it’s a lock he’s gone if he misses the tournament

We do quite well in limited three point attempts. Getting to the rim, though...

I would assume so. He can't coach and his recruiting stinks.

Big win for CCSU over Merrimack. They were the 2 remaining undefeated teams left in the conference. Would love to see Sellers take them to the tourney

I like seeing other Connecticut teams making the Big Dance.

Almost every D1 team in CT in contention this year

Yale tied for first in the Ivy, Quinnipiac and Fairfield top 3 in MAAC, Central undefeated and in first in the NEC with Sacred Heart not far behind.

Fairfield stumbled badly against Niagara on Friday night to end its 9-game win streak and then turned it around and shredded Canisius on Sunday. Not the best weekend for a road trip to Buffalo.

Dalton Knecht putting on a show on ESPN2 for TN versus the Gators. 22 first half points scoring in all ways including 3-3 from three. Kids a player, stud.

Playing only two opponents outside the Top 200 has Xavier with a respectable 45 NET rating despite an 8-8 record.

Butlers gonna run them out of their own gym

Butlers gonna run them out of their own gym

Xavier is winning with 13 minutes left in the first half.

Butler is destroying them, you always nail it with your predictions!

That post started a 17-2 X run

Might've been a bit of a hot take.

Tenn trying to get Knecht a 40 ball with a game out of hand

39 now with a couple minutes left... On 22 shots.

 

[auror]

Xavier was on pace for 113 points at the under 8 timeout, but cooled off the last minute or two.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Here comes that answering run from Butler.

Playing only two opponents outside the Top 200 has Xavier with a respectable 45 NET rating despite an 8-8 record.

And playing those opponents well (to be fair). But, yeah, that definitely helps us (and was a great win for Houston as well).

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This game is peak Posh Alexander. He is a 26% 3 point shooter this year and is hitting ridiculous shots. Matta is smart to pull him because he is about to airball 3 straight 25 foot attempts.

It has nothing to do with us, but I am really sick of Capel. Currently getting manhandled at home by Cuse. Capel has a roster that should be a bubble team with a competent coach. They'll be lucky to get an invite to the CBI, if that's still a thing.
