Fox is lucky to have a guy like Dave Sims deep on the bench. He's so good.

Georgetown picked the worst season to have a nice recruiting class coming in. I can't see them winning tonight.

DePaul struggles to score without Freeman-Liberty

Is the Saturday game with Georgetown @ Butler the worst Big East Conference game ever?

Based on metrics, I would think it is the worst ever since the realignment. I don't remember BE matchup between 2 sub 150 teams.

Speaking of futility, DePaul has now lost 22 straight games to Villanova, spanning over 14 years.

*edit* although Kenpom isn't as brutal as the NET for Georgetown

So looking in Ken Pom- 2016- had a game between 230 St John's @ 191 DePaul. Adds up to 421.

Right now we're looking at 168 Georgetown @ 146 Butler. 314. So not even close actually.

Yeah, not even close. But I do expect Georgetown to drop

I still don't know how that St. John's team beat Syracuse. Their only win in conference was at home against DePaul.
