Mac just announced Mintz is out for the year. Ankle just won't heal fully. Will redshirt. Now the question is if he stays or grad transfers....

6 Big East teams are in the top 38 in KP going into conference play. Ho. Lee. Shit.

Feel bad for Mintz. Seemed like a good player and teammate, but the injury bug got him and his time as a Jay might have ended. I guess we’ll see.

1. Seton Hall
2. Nova
3. Butler
4. Marquette
5. Creighton
6. Depaul
7. Xavier
8. Georgetown
9. St. Johns
10. Providence

I could actually see a team winning with 6 losses. There's so much parity. I think this is the best chance we've had in several years to have multiple elite 8 and possibly multiple final four teams. I could see any of the top 8 teams beating almost anyone in the country.

That’s not worth the pixels it’s printed on, plus there are other people indicating otherwise.

KMacker69, Milksteak, somebody.

Kamar has not been right since the Florida game and his shooting % has plummeted. What's going on in Indy?
Inquiring minds (BE fantasy league) need to know.

PS: It was a good December. Many imbalanced games and lineups due to the foreshortened holiday schedules.
My Lightning are now up into 3rd Place behind Hoyahooligan and Oscar's Jarocho squad. Happy Holidays all.

Got you in another thread also, but:
Hard to say, but 6 assist today... He's in a slump, but BU keeps the why's very close to the chest. I think he's fine and will bounce back hard in the next few games. ;)
Lets go Dawgs!

They’re damn lucky their record isn’t far worse, and they’d better find some consistent O and quick. The TCU game was a positive to be sure, but I’ve seen nothing that makes me think they’re title contenders.

1. Butler - has to be first as of now. I’m truly impressed, and most was done without their 7 footer.
2. Nova - I think it’ll be someone else as I’m not as high on them as I have been, but that’s comparing this team to past ones. They’re still good.
3. Creighton - I think they’re a half point above the rest save for GTown who’s an equal. Mahoney adds a tremendous amount and if/when Mintz gets back, they’ll be even better, until they lose an indispensable part of the team, which usually happens around MLK Jr. day or so
4. Georgetown - could even be higher. I love Yurt.

Small gap

5. DePaul. Their last 4 games make me wonder if water has found its level (and that was it) but then again they came back in a huge way and put away Northwestern like a good team should.

6. Marquette - wobbly. When you subtract the four or five games Howard wins by himself and the two games he loses by shooting then out of it, what’s left? 8-10 or 9-9 is my guess

7. Hall - would be my second choice completely healthy. I think they take multiple hits they wouldn’t have taken healthy early in conference play and this puts them down here

8. St John’s - love the non-con but it’s still too steep a hill. A home loss to a good but not great Vermont and a loss to an Arizona State team that I watched lose at home to Creighton to...they’re close but a half step behind

9. X - see above

10. Providence - they’d better win a few early because this could snowball. Too bad because I like Ed


lol did you see the WVU (12-1, after beating #2OSU), and beat Arizona on neutral court. If we play them again, we beat them.
Yeah, SJU will finish 4-14 and will be garbage in the B.E. uh huhhhh

Where did I say you’re going 4-14? Lighten up.

A very, very good team, maybe even a Tourney team, will finish 8th. And you did lose at home to Vermont and to a very meh Sun Devil team.

Prove that’s not you over the next 18 games.

Lost to vermont in november with LJ, Heron, and who? Guys who hardly left the bench last year and guys who are first year players at sju.
Cma and staff are great player developers, if mullin was.still here, we'd be 7-6, 8-5.

Over advantage will be our depth, we'll have more depth than anyone in this league, we're gonna ware you down, if you go 7-8 deep.
Looking forward to Tuesday.
