Around Big East

When do you think the last time St. Johns and Providence won on the same night?

I'm not a fan of Cooley, but he is keeping program headed in right direction. Telling Sidiki to buy in or get out seems to deserve kudos IMO..

Mash Unit;
“@NJHoopsHaven: Kevin Willard said Fuquan Edwin is "out" for Sunday's game right now, unless he responds well to treatment tomorrow.”

“@AdamZagoria: Willard says Brian Oliver won't practice again this year but can play games. "We'll see how he can go from game to game." #shbb”

6. St. John’s. The Red Storm don’t make it easy, but they make it entertaining. Steve Lavin’s young crew has won six of its past seven, putting it at least in the bubble conversation. This week, though, will be perhaps the most telling of all for St. John’s when it faces a treacherous one-two punch, at Syracuse on Sunday and at Louisville on Thursday.

Rutgers playing well v. GT, tied at half.

A Rutgers win would help us big time.  We won't jump ahead of G'town for an NCAA bid but it helps us with our standing in the Big East.  The higher we finish, the better our chances of a bid.

BTW, Rutgers has been doing well down low. Lubick picked up two fouls early. Johnson and Judge playing physical.

Mike Rice is the kid who threw tantrums when his pee wee team lost.  JTIII is the kid that hit the buzzer beater and calmly walked off the court.

 Not Big East, but did anyone just see the end of Wisco/ Mich?  Holy Crap

Yeah, that was amazing.

Rutgers hanging in there. Mike Poole can play on my team anytime!

Wisconsin with three fouls to give allowed Hardaway a three with time running out on shooting clock.. Hit it, but Wisconsin hits a desperation 3 to tie. Love college basketball!

Agree. NYC kid that I wish we had.

BTW, Nate Lubick fouled out for GT with zero points. Crazy game, against us he looked like Larry Bird. Well sorta! Ha!

B10 has what 4 teams in Top 10 this year?
Crazy good this year.

GT over Rutgers by 6. Tough loss, really out muscled GT.

Gtown is good but not as good as they have looked against us.
Just a really bad personnel matchup for us.

IMO, clearly best league. Indy and Michigan could win it all, great guard play and well coached. OSU not shabby either.

“@NJHoopsHaven: Otto Porter: 19 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover. Scored 10 straight in crunch time. Tremendous game from a superb player.”

Porter to me is best player in BE. Consider he plays in such a structured, low scoring system. IMO, he will be a solid NBA player and get more open court opportunities over time.

People forget Mich St chugging along with 4 losses quietly.  Still have 2 games vs. MICH on their schedule.
