Around Big East

As for collapses go look at Nova's finish 2 years ago.

They were 9-5 in the Big East.  Proceeded to lose 5 straight to end the season.  Lost 4 straight to end the regular season and then lost to a horrible S Florida team in the first round of the BE Tournament.  Made the NCAA's as a 9 seed, in other words they weren't even a bubble team made it with ease....

Then proceeded to lose to George Mason in the 1st round to lose 6 straight to end the season.

If they lost 3 of their last 4 And then lost their first game in the bigeast tourny. They would have to to be somewhat nervous on selsecation Sunday. It's not out of question.

I would love to achieve the continuity achieved at Marquette. nice article;

Marquette doesn't rebuild, they just reload

They reload into a pretty good team every year that will probably win one tournament game per year.

They kind of do what St Johns did for years under Coach C

that is a good comp

Wondering

They keep showing the standings on CBS during the Orange Idiots vs. Gtown game.  They show the top 8 schools.  We are also 8-6 in conference but they don't show us.

Its sorted by BE standings though, not overall.

I think they just use it as a tie-braker since both teams are 8-6 in league play

Part of the worldwide conspiracy against St. John's!

Wouldn't doubt it

Good job by Gtown

 Need Marquette to beat down Nova.

Archipoddamus should have went to Duke.  He 'never' commits fouls.  The look on his face when he gets called is priceless.

He is going to be a thorn in our side the next few years.  At least Lubick, one of our other annoying thorns, will be gone after next year. 

Otto Porter put his stamp on BE player of the year today?  Has a lot less offensive talent than the other candidates IMO, and does everything on the floor.

As annoying as Eric Devendorf.

Who are the other candidates? Russ smith? Triche?

Otto porter is the best player in the league hands Down IMO. It's a damn shame too because had moe of stayed porter would be the second best player in the league.

Smith doesn't annoy me.  Triche has for years.  He is the most annoying -- more than Archdiowhatever and Lubick, although the latter has gained some steam.
