Around Big East

Creighton manhandling AZ State. 

First time watching them this year.  Unselfish.  Deadly at every position.

#mubb junior forward Sandy Cohen III has left the program, effective immediately. Appeared in 3 games in 2016-17, averaging 6.3 minutes.
Per Marquette blog

Log jam at three spot. Expect Simon to cause same on our roster.

Ahmed to IONA

Sorry Baldi, Ahmed starts this year and next. Guys we haven't seen play are always better than what we have. Not. Besides you will get 5-8 other transfers and have your usual 15-18 players.

No one thought Sima would leave. Shit, in October, he was an NBA player who was already further along than Obekpa. Ahmed is ok. He's better at putting it on the floor than Durand Johnson. They are similar in overall production. One thing we haven't seen is Mullin run a play to put Ahmed in a situation where he can drive to the basket. When he drives, it's forced. Kid may get frustrated with the lack of leadership from the staff.

Watching the Seton Hall - Rutgers game tonight...

1. Rutgers would beat us soundly. 

2. Jevon Thomas is still in college?   In the Big East?     Idk how that flew under my radar

We've beaten Syracuse. Rutgers has zero quality wins.

Not trying to be a downer. Syracuse was an awesome win. Can we beat teams that play tough man defense? Hope so, don't know.

What quality wins does Syracuse have?

Depaul up 2 at Nova. 6 mins left

Villanova and DePaul are tied right now with 4:30 left in the game..  can't quite believe it!

At nova, too.

I'm kind of hoping that DePaul pulls it out.  Maybe they'll have a little letdown on Sunday, if that happens.

Villanova survives DePaul by 3.

Creighton up 14 at home against Seton Hall going into halftime. They are real good.

Josh Hart is a stud.

Nova only played 7 guys?

Was Jessie Govan supposed to be good?

I know Luke Fischer ain't.  Govan actually has some tools, but he's soft and tends to play lackadaisical. 

Can a mod merge the "Around the Big East" threads?  There is one that has long been a "sticky" thread.

Ya Fischer never improved.  I do like Cheatham and Rowsey

Pretty sure we are better than Georgetown. Horrendous

Georgetown has big time talent, including Govan.  But they have been maddeningly inconsistent under Thompson the past few years.  It is starting to get the reputation as the place talent goes to die.  His job last year was way worse than Lavin's failure to make the tourney in year 4 with that squad - and that is saying something.

Been saying that for years about the talent dying. JT 3 will never get fired

If our guards try those fancy dribbles where they try to cross over and dribble the ball
 right in front of the defender, Creighton guards Watson and Foster will pick our pockets all  night.

Right on! my fear exactly Watson will run a master class for our pair

Villanova guard Jalen Brunson named @BIGEAST player of the week. St. John's guard Shamorie Ponds named conference freshman of the week.
