@BigEastDaily: Is the Big East a "power conference?" http://t.co/jVOdxx4WA5

Last night was Mayaan's last game with the team.  Has to go back to Israel to fulfill military obligations

His 2 ppg and TOs will be sorely missed.

Well and good but its a hit to depth.  15-20 mpg and 3 assists a game too.

Right now, the answer is no.  We really need a win against Syracuse for both SJU and the BE to be taken seriously at this point.

If we aren't a power conference, neither is the SEC and possibly the Big 12.  Therefore, we are a power conference.  If we consistently get 40%+ of the league in the tournament, this won't even be a question.

Kansas #13, Oklahoma State #16, Baylor #18, Iowa State #22
Big 12 isn't in the same boat.        But I agree with you that the SEC is comparable after UK and Florida

I agree. It's our turn to man up. We can cry all we want Uconn, SU and Louisville quitting on the BE, the fact remains many of the conferences original teams have not be pulling their weight. I think STJ, Seton Hall and Providence have got to perform better.

Seton Hall will be improved next season, and Providence has shown some potential this season w limited players, but IMO, we have to lead the conference THIS season. Two tourney bids in 13 seasons is dreadful. It's on par w Penn State and Virginia Tech.

@CerasolisGhost: Big East has 3rd best conference rating in KenPom behind Big Ten, ACC. Three top-25 teams in Villanova (5), Creighton (18), Georgetown (25).

But I thought we weren't a power conference

Big East has the best conference rating in HRsystem.

DePaul beat Florida Atlantic and Jarvis last night.  FAU dropped to 3-7.  How does that man still have a job?

I watched part of that game. FA actually played okay. Do you think Jarvis at FA should be expected to beat a BE team on the road? 3-7 in med December isn't that big of a deal for FA because if they play BE teams tight, then it's likely they'll be tough in conference play.

I think the great Mike Jarvis should have a better stint at Florida Atlantic than 6-26, 14-16, 21-11, 12-19, 14-18 and 3-7 now.

He was only there two years. Wish our AD would find a better opportunity, not likely

@EyeOnCBB: Marquette announces late on a Friday that its AD is stepping down, effective immediately http://t.co/1Nr10olHog

I agree, but where were they before he arrived? At least he had one good year. My only real point is to say that I thought FA looked decent last night. If anyone should have a better stint, it's Purnell. That guy is the worst coach in BE history. He's even worse than Norm.

Purnell did a good job at Dayton. maybe he doesn't have the resources and support necessary to resurrect a long dormant program. I really  don't know. Maybe a contributing factor are all the inner city murders of young people in Chicago make it hard to keep kids home and maybe even to bring them in.

In the 70's and 80's Chicago had a TON of murders. Purnell needs to take the blame here. In other news, Seton Hall is f'n terrible.
