Around Big East

Nova just beat #2 Kansas.  Arcidiacono makes 2 treys late and he is 5-29 from three thus far this year.  Signature win for the Big East, no thanks to SJU of course...

Arcidiacono nails a big jumper to beat Kansas. Clutch! He had missed all five of previous shots.

Sorry, announcer said 2 I believe. I thought I just missed one while grabbing something from the fridge.  Regardless, great win for the Big East.  To bad SJU hasn't been part of moving this league forward...  #depressed.

What you gonna do?  Have to live with it.  Hope that Marquette, Nova, Gtown and Creighton and some 5th team carry the conference this year and we smarten up at some point and don't let it drag.

Did anyone get a whiff of coaching going on.  That iis what  coaching is all about.
Hammer  to rock!

What am I gonna do?  Nothing..  Just get old before we win any compelling games.  I'll be getting my jiu jitsu purple belt before we make any waves, and that's gonna take me a while.  Want SJU to be part of some winning ball sooner or later.  I was worried about this game, then I turn on Nova beating Kansas.  They're getting better, we are getting worse.  I'm hoping Lavin can get things moving.  I know it's early, but seems we are constantly re-learning the game. 

SDSU 86 Creighton 80

Polee: 4 for 7 on Field goals  of which 2 of 5 were 3s 1 for 1 from free throw lane =11 points

Gtown dismisses Whittington

Nova just downed Iowa in OT.  Nova easily top 15 team right now, and in the higher end I think.

Looks like others are aware of the same ridiculous theories...

Nova's new folks have really played well. VU's ability to get to the  line so much is enhanced by new restrictive foul rules. Great start!

Nova has a fantastic core that plays great together. Myself and others called this over the summer, I'm not surprised by their start at all.

I thought lack  of size would be their achilles heel.  Shows how little I know about basketball.

You know that Wright's game is the 3-4 player perimeter offense.  They do it well.  The bigs are usually manageable enough, but you'll never see many top bigs going to Nova.

Also like Jay's solid recruits this year, as well as transfer Ennis. Nice, smart players.

Seton Hall loses to Fairleigh Dickinson by four. Really need Tiny Morton! FD has knocked off Rutgers & SH.

I know that Nova is always guard-centric.  I just never really expect it to work so well.

@NYPost_Brazille: I can't imagine how St. John's fans would react if they performed the way the other Jersey schools have against mid-majors.

LSU over Butler in OT.
