The dude has tweeted hundreds, if not, thousands of times and has 27 followers. It’s time to hang ‘em up.

Woo, nice bounce back win tonight, i think I lost my voice screaming, nice to see team take over OT. Tech didnt have any capable bigs which helped conceal our weakness tonight. Nice win for the Jays and the Big East.

I could care less about the game....

I just hate the logic the refs use there... If it was the other way I would have said the same thing. I hate when officials by swallowing their whistles not wanting to decide the game..... decide the game. It's a foul 100% of the time the other 39:58. Any time I see it in any game I don't like it- no matter what teams are involved.

BIG win for Creighton though- one they really needed to get back on track. Got big ones vs Oklahoma and Arizona St(not to mention the always tricky game vs Nebraska)…. Beat Nebraska and split with Oklahoma/Arizona St- and they're in pretty decent shape IMO.

Oh, how is it going guys???? I've been trying on purpose to avoid posting here to try to keep the piece. You guys are off to a pretty weird start right now IMO. Got 4 teams looking really set- but not many big wins from those guys- best one probably SH over Iowa St tonight- big chance on Sunday with Marquette getting Maryland... Seton Hall, Nova, Xavier, and Marquette. A 4 team middle pool with Butler, DePaul(who knew?), Georgetown, and Creighton(with all 4 of those teams having some really solid wins). Then you have St John's and finally Providence(what is going on there????)

Nice win tonight. Much needed. But I still don't think you can credit Mac for the win. He got taken to the woodshed twice this weekend. He blew a 19 point lead to a good (but not great) Texas Tech team that was missing its best player. We deserved to lose that game.

That all being said, I'll take the dub and let's move on to ORU.

On another note, lol @ Tech fans who claim there should've been a foul on that last shot. There wasn't much contact and that's almost never gonna get called (and it shouldn't) because most refs know they need to let the players decide the games

Xavier, Marquette, Georgetown, Creighton, and SJU are more or less about where people thought they'd be.

Butler and DePaul piled up some solid wins vs. lower tier P5 teams. Better than where they were projected, but not absolutely stunning level of surprise.

I think Seton Hall and Nova are slight disappointments. Seton Hall's aggressive scheduling may backfire on them if they can't beat Maryland and come away with 0 signature win ooc. Nova needs to beat Kansas for that signature ooc win as well. Tall order.

Providence... it's worse than perennial DePaul who were pretty good at avoiding horrific losses.

Overall, the conference has been mediocre ooc so far, but there's still enough games left to change that. As things stand we'd send 6 or 7 teams dancing, but with undesirable seeds.

I agree. Here's his post on the other board about the no-call: "Creighton lucky as anything that they didn't get called for that foul on the shot at the end of regulation. Good win for the Jays but I despise the logic that refs use at end games that let the players decide the game. Which basically allows the defense to do what happened there... Guy was clearly pulling at the elbow.... ".

Excellent day for the Big East. Overall good start for the league. Providence has been horrible and is all but eliminated from the Tournament already (barring a miracle), and St. John's is very unlikely to make it (as we all knew preseason).

Everyone else is off to a good or great start, though.

Something funny is Seton Hall lost to Oregon but still left with a better record (2-1 vs 1-2). Obviously Oregon had a tougher schedule, but it's important to actually WIN the games rather than simply have a strong SOS. Nice job Hall. Given their unusually close losses, I expect they'll have a strong NET. Last year they were a NET outlier having some very good wins but an underwhelming NET since they won a ton of close games (especially OOC). Similar to St. John's last year. Hall has some quality wins to go along with their close losses, so they're doing well overall.

Excellent job yesterday by Creighton, Hall, Marquette and DePaul.

Nice job by the league yesterday. As an aside CU’s loss to Michigan all of a sudden doesn’t look so bad after seeing them buzzsaw the field in Atlantis. They should be ranked Top 10 (maybe top 5) after that weekend.

Welcome back Stever. Always welcomed IMO. But with that being said fully expect to be called out if you look to bring any nonsense posts. Curious as to your thoughts on BE recruiting. It sure hasn’t floundered as you once predicted that it surely would.
