Around Big East

Georgetown up by 12...I think that's what we'd want. We'd be tied for third.

Or the middle of the conference gets further muddy with their win.
Xavier loses RPI so our game on Tuesday isn't worth as much
And Xavier is coming into Tuesday off a loss.

I think 3rd place is worth it though. Looks a lot better. Especially with a chance to pass them with tuesdays game

I know I want Xavier to win.  Keeps them in top 50 rpi and sets up a possible seeding game in eyes of committee.

If Xavier loses that actually makes the Nova game much bigger. If we can beat Nova and Xavier loses that is a big jump for us. If we can beat them on Tuesday we will be solidly in third.

Kevin W not fooling around;

@BrendanPrunty: Official word that Sterling Gibbs is out today, per coach's decision. Have confirmed @NJHoopsHaven report that Gibbs was suspended today.

Setting the tone for next year, much like what Lav did with the Dlo suspension last year

Hes trying to create an environment within the program that this kind of stuff won't be tolerated going forward. Hes laying down the law harshly now to get the message across  and make sure he won't have to deal with this kind of nonsense next year when they will be playing meaningful games this time of year

Iversonitis I guess;

@CerasolisGhost: Willard "Over the last week or so, week and half, Sterling has not had the greatest attitude." #shbb

@CerasolisGhost: Kevin Willard on Gibbs suspension: "He didn’t come the other day with a great attitude, he didn’t come ready to practice." #shbb

SH in great effort loses to Creighton by one.

Creighton missed so many free throws in the last few minutes.

PC beats Butler by 6, Cotton scorched it as usual.

@WeAreDePaul: RT @DePaulSID: Billy Garrett Jr. picks up @BIGEASTMBB Rookie of the Week honor for fifth time this season. #dpubb @BGarrett_5 #DePaul

@CerasolisGhost: DePaul's Billy Garrett Jr. named Big East Rookie of Week for fifth time. 17 pts, 5 ast vs Xavier, 26 pts vs Marquette.

Jordan might be the Most Valuable Freshman in the BE, but I think BE Rookie of the Year is in the bag for Garrett.

Confused.
How can he have it in the bag?
I don't think either of them is a sure thing by any stretch.

In addition to winning the weekly honor a league leading 5 times and leading all freshman in scoring and assists, I think Garrett will have the ability to "get his" for the remainder of the season without regard to how it impacts the team, whereas Jordan's contributions to the team's success, while invaluable, will not always fill up the stat sheet, IMO.  I hope I'm wrong and we take our 3rd ROY in a row.  We'll see.

He's got 5 to Sheed's 3? Right? That is the whole season and Sheed's have all been in the BE.  Tommy Hamilton has also done very well for DePaul.  He could split some votes.  Whoever wins its gonna be close.  There will some who look at the awards and then others who will see the importance factor.

How many did Karr have last year vs. Archipoddumus.

JaKarr won the weekly award 7 times to Archipoddumus' 4 times, plus JaKarr led all freshmen in scoring and rebounds. 

Nice story on Garrett;
