Around Big East

Per Evan Daniels:

Ed Cooley has to be pumped about adding top 75 recruit Nate Watson. Tough, hard-playing post player that will board it & is improving on O.

still a while to go before the season starts, but seeing this again got me excited for some college basketball:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTThyQPoXxY

That shot is still bonkers to me

Paige's shot would have gone down as one of the all time best if it weren't for Jenkins hitting perhaps the best.

Andy Katz:

Providence College confirms it has also bid on the 2017 NCAA men's basketball tournament first and second rounds... espn.com/espn/now?nowId…

Villanova's Amari Spellman has been declared academically ineligible  for 2016- 2017 season.  Spellman was going to play alot of minutes, even potentially start.

Per Rothstein:

One consistent theme out of Creighton: Marcus Foster has been without question the Jays' best defender. First-Team All-Big East player.

Lets keep a thread talking about Big East games throughout the season.

Watching this Maryland Georgetown game. LJ Peak is a beast.

A "beast?"  Ehhh, I think he's certainly solid, but I don't use the word, "beast," loosely.  He's somewhat out of control, too.  He plays wild defense whenever he decides to play it.  Georgetown doesn't have any guards who can handle the ball.  I'd press 'em to obvilion.  I've been saying that for a few years, though. 

As, I type this....   Georgetown is melting.

Wow what a meltdown by Gtown.

They have top 3 talent for the conference, but they did last year, so who knows.

I really tried rooting for Georgetown. Happy they choked!

Really thought JT3 messed up calling a time out with 11 seconds left and two made FT's by his guy. Maryland had no timeouts. Let they regroup and set up a play as opposed to them just going with the flow. Lavin used to do this and drove me crazy. Bad stuff.

JT 3 is a brutal coach

That was a crazy meltdown. Haven't seen a meltdown like that since Duke came back against Maryland when Jay Williams went off.

Creighton looking very good against Wisconsin. Should be a good finish

Foster is legit for Creighton. Major transfer for them.

Great start for the conference. Creighton beating a highly ranked Wisconsin team and Georgetown is the conference's first loss after all of these games
