GT over Cincy by 7 with 3 minutes left in first half. Cincy has a tough remaining schedule.

 Georgetown is a solid team that I could see making a run deep into March.   Felt this way before only to see them sent packing first weekend.  I think this could be the year they make Final Four.  Wide open tourney with no true dominant team.  It should be awesome.

Agree GT playing super and getting contributions from many guys. Nice job by JT.

They are a solid, well coached team but they are offensively challenged.  If they run into a hot shooting team, they can be taken out early.

GT was No.1 in ESPN Big East Power rankings yesterday before last night's win.

Never thought I would say this, but I hope UConn runs the table. They could help us out by taking down Nova and Cincy (2x), in addition to boosting our RPI.

Also, that game @ Providence scares me the most of our 5 remaining regular season games...

Batts may be the most improved guy in BE. Cooley has these guys playing well.

Me too. 1 because its a game we can't lose. And 2 because they can shoot the 3

PC putting it to ND

Besides being solid team G'town has the luxury of a player like Porter who can really explode and help carry a team in the tourney. Kid is INCREDIBLE!

The Friars haver it rolling right now. While I think it's great for our future league to see Providence have a resurgence, our game there is going to be extremely tough to win.

Was hoping Nova would lose at UConn, but appears unlikely.

Marquette is up 15 over Pitt at home. I would love to emulate their success in recent years. Without getting McD AA type kids regularly, they do an excellent job of integrating solid Juco kids, getting good size interior players and attracting athletic wings and heady guards. They reload and compete year after year. I hope we are on cusp of establishing like program consistency and not so vulnerable to the loss of star players like Moe and Jakarr. Just not feeling we are there yet. Hopefully that happens soon.

On the flip side, Buzz Williams resembles a well dressed Portuguese flag today. What an outfit!

Bald is beautiful

DePaul beats Rutgers by 6. Does Rice even make it to Big Ten? Eli Carter out with a tough looking knee injury. Wheels off!

If you are a Providence fan, aren't you disappointed with how this year is playing out.  Granted you are playing short-handed, so that should be factored in, but the 5 guys who play almost all your minutes (now that Sidiki is gone) consist of a senior, three juniors and a highly touted freshman.  It isn't like they are a squad of freshman/sophomores playing most of the minutes ...

Picked last preseason,currently 6-7. Pretty decent season giving expectations

Cooley has made me eat some crow this year.

Also if we are on the bubble, providence can't be far from it. Not bound at the least

Triche is scoring tonight. Syracuse only up 4 pts vs. Setn Hall.
