Georgetown has a great team. Providence, it is what it is... seeing some solid play, but we can't shoot, even with open looks. Just got to keep improving.

You’ve got to feel for the Jays. They should be sitting at 6-4, solidly in 3rd place and solidly in the tourney with 2 quality wins—one of which on the road no less. Hopefully they will get an unexpected / fortunate bounce or two their way in the home stretch. They are deserving of at least better fate than they’ve experienced in conference so far.

I'm trying to think of a team that is as snakebit as Creighton is. Should easily be 14-8 and 6-4 in the conference, and really set up for March- with a very favorable schedule left to get wins...

Now, they probably have to bare minimum split between @ Seton Hall and @ Marquette to have a real shot at the tourney. And hope that Clemson can remain at Q1 status(they were #50 yesterday). Otherwise, they're going into the BET with exactly 0 Q1 wins.

I guess now the other question is for Nova and Marquette. Where will they be seeded on Saturday in the sweet 16 bracket reveal? The guy that does Bracketville- the #2 bracketologist on the matrix- still has Marquette as a 3 seed and Villanova as a 4 seed...

I really, really think that G'Town is in very good hands with Ewing. I could see them becoming a consistent top Big East team in the next few years.

Agree with Ewing. Watching the games last night I couldn't help but think that both Creighton and Georgetown are trending up for next year.

Nova didn't play well last night, but credit most of that to Creighton and coach Macs game plan. They out played and out hustled/effort Nova, which isn't easy to do. Major, major credit to the Bluejays and coach Mac.

I think their game plan from last night is going to be duplicated repeatedly the rest of the year. At least the hard hedge, blitzing, icing, or whatever the coaching jargon is for the aggressive double team of the ball handler in the ball screen situations(especially when it's Booth or Paschall). It's a high risk/high reward play, but it was very effective last night. Nova didn't move the ball well, neither was off the ball movement and floor spacing wasn't ideal either. Then when everything did work out effectively, Nova fail to knock down the ensuing open look.

Sounds like (on all the boards) that it was a hard fought game. Joseph hits those FTs and folks would be singing a different tune.
Congrats to Pillsbury and the Radnorites...good win. Sign of a good team when you can pull out the W on a bad playing night. Congrats Nova.

i?m still here, but have shut my trap after losing numbers 7 & 8. Looks bleak as hell from my seat, hoping for a little end of season run to squeak out a bid.
We need a better coach...too many bad breaks, coincidental injuries, bad end of ggame breaks, and no sense of urgency. I'd break open my bank and the CU endowment
for (in Order) Rick Pitino, Rick Barnes, Ben Howland, Tubby Smith, Thad Matta, and even Steve Lavin. Jays need so new blood and new coaching.

Good to see Gumby, Nova, Chesty, and Westy keeping the faith and posting. Only sport i continue to do is college hoops and when the Jays suck...my Spring ain't
so hot - regardless of what Paxentaney Phil says ( and its mid 70s down here, partly sunny most days.)

Gtmo, I'm very, very disappointed in you.

[gtmoBlue]

My blue shades are broken and I've been in "BlueJuice" rehab. Reality is worse than I have been deluding myself into believing. Love my Jays, but it's time for a change in leadership.

A guy can only take so many dbl digit loss seasons? I'm gonna hit the reset button and suggest that the Jays do also.

Flash: Ty-Shon's knee is okay...MRI negative. He may play this weekend.
