Around Big East

so much for the demise Jay Wright

Cue Gonzalo...3...2...1...

Jakarr just got a shout out in the Cuse-Nova game. Announcer said Ryan A and him are two contenders for BEROY.

Archiejacomo is rather inconsistent.  Despite hitting the tying 3, he didn't have a good game. I missed most of the OT  (had to walk the dog) but he missed a lot of shots.  After a slow start, Jakarr is consistently around his scoring average.

Nova up 6 at half v. Cuse. Still think Cuse will win, but what is Nova drinking? Ha!

They're playing well.  They are a catholic and I normally want them to win, but I don't think it's in our best interest with nova having a win over us this season.

Share the same perspective MCN.

Syracuse is not as good as it is perceived to be.

Agree, MCW is erratic, bigs are ordinary and bench so so. Southerland coming back is a must.

If G'town beats Louisville, there will be 7 teams tied at 4-3.  Tomorrow is a MUST win for us or we fall behind the pack.

I'm hoping for  Louisville win because I think we will have two losses against Georgetown.

Ah screw it.  Nova won.  I hope Georgetown does too.  Lates make the top 4 this year marquette, Georgetown, St. johns and Nova!

Just thinking same;

“@NJHoopsHaven: Nova's two massive Ws won't hurt the Catholic 7's TV contract negotiations either.”

Bigger picture, SJU just needs to win...period!  Forget what the rest of em do.  We win, we put ourselves in good shape. Take down the "top" teams and then they are struggling and vulnerable as well.  Gotta pull for the Catholics to win, except against us...

GT wins! Mrs. Pitino staying with her sister tonight.

Exactly

We just need to take care of business

The better the C7 does, the better our future conference will look and the money they command goes back into our basketball program. It also gives s the hammer to get what we want from Aresco and his Conf USA cronies.

This just irks me the only games we really came out and got bet were Baylor and Gtown, we gave away 5 games, 5 GAMES!! If we don't make the tourney it's gonna really be hard to get over Amir fouling at the end of nova, 17 point give away against unc, 8 point giveaway vs Murry, rutgers at home and the poor mans Steve Nash in San fran

Go Catholics!

+1 As long as we keep on winning things will take care of themselves. A lineup of Branch. DLO,Dom,Sampson and CO is quite good, team is developing chemistry and improving. Lets take care of SHU and move on from there.

Marquette beating up on Providence, but game stalled because of a bat flying on court.

There is a live bat flying around courtside, dive bombing the players on the court of the Providence - Marquette game. Stadium staff plays the Batman theme song, classic.

Hope the poor bat doesn't get tangled up in Buzz's hair.

Holy crap they turned out the lights to calm the bat down. I thought bats came out at night ?

No f'ing way I'd be sitting in my seats in the dark with a bat dive bombing the inside of the arena.

Closest you will see me to a bat is drinking bacardi

I might be wrong but if we win tomorrow, we will be alone  in 3RD place.  Go Johnnies, Go!!!

Correct, bit no jinxing. Ha

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.  Could have easily been at 6-1 and tied with Cuse for 1st place.  This conference is so strange this year.
