Around Big East

Lunardi tweeted Seeds out today even though he does not update bracket until Thursday this week.

5 Big East Schools In

X 3

Butler 1st Team Out
St. Johns  12th Team Out

FWIW On the Board

Lunardi is useless until February.  We are 7-1 and #30 in the RPI. If he is not putting us in now, he's guessing the future and that is not what he's known for.

With all the ranked teams going down this week, are we one win away from being in the top 25?

I think so, or if not at least in the 26-30 range.....Hopefully we hear the status on Lovett soon because we will need him on Friday to beat Arizona State.

I'm sure Nova will pull our a W, but amazing LaSalle keeping it tied w/ 5 min remaining but only 0-1 from FT line.

Nova just does not foul on the ball.  Amazing

Thought i would post in hear instead of starting a new topic.....Saw Seth Davis posted an article about Mullin and St. John's...Anyone have access to the article? Just wanted to see what the main talking points were.

Georgetown beating up on Syracuse. Maybe that soft schedule wasn’t such a bad idea. It appears to have worked. They are going to be a load to handle in the paint.

And the Hall goes down to Rutgers.....

Great finish, too. Except for Miles Powell. Pretty dirty with that flagrant foul at the very end.

Their soft schedule and winning against Syracuse today (the 'Cuse has cut the lead to two, as I type this) is irrelevant.  Syracuse can't shoot, can't shoot FTs, and in need of a point guard. 

I'm willing to bet they'll still finish 9th in the conference when it's all said and done.

Watched a lot of the game. Neither looked good. Georgetown is no gimme but the soft schedule shouldn’t fool anyone. They are in a rebuild.

Well then. SU is now up 7 with 37 seconds to go in OT. I don’t think this is a 9th place ACC team, but I see what you’re saying about point guard, so they could struggle against quality guards. Frank Howard reminds me of how Eugene Lawrence would run our offense. Neither can dribble or shoot. Howard slowly walks the ball up the court every time just like friggan Geno used to.

I basically watched the entire game.  Agree with the rest of your post.  Word for word.

East Tennessee State is up 19 at Xavier (under 15 left in the game).

DePaul up on Northwestern at Half and Last i Saw Xavier down 14 vs East Tenn State......Butler got beat by Purdue....Not a great day for the big east ...St. Johns is right on par with all these teams and no reason why we cant challenge for top 4 finish.

unbelievable Xavier comeback...after they switched to a zone, it was a completely different game.

tough ending for DePaul...
made a nice comeback also...
but they blew a game typing layup opportunity...
Northwest wins.

Big East overall with a poor day.

SHU Fr. G Jordan Walker leaving the team, so says Slater.
