Shouldn't a 12-0 team be ranked higher than 50 and 30? There's only 5 of em left

Yea they should be

Florida waxing Butler

That's crazy. Butler beat them a few weeks ago too.

Creighton up 11 on Providence. Under 5 to go.

And that's the final margin. Creighton wins.

I have watched more BE BB in the last two months than I have in the last two years. Providence stinks. Crieghton stinks, despite having the great Doug Mcdermott's father as head coach. Seton Hall we already beat and will beat again. Butler stinks. Villanova is beat able, Georgetown stinks but is a bad match up, as is DePaul. No opinion on Xavier. This SJ team is capable of waxing these clowns. If they don't there's something very very wrong.

Based on how we've looked to this point I tend to agree. Not sure about waxing Providence and Creighton but both winnable games. I still think Nova is the class of the league but they are beatable this year as evidenced.

Capable. Yes. ‘Waxing’, not so much. Our lack of bench will hurt us.

This is something that I have heard consistently on this board and there really isn’t any basis to it. Many teams only play 7-8 players. Villanova has won 2 national championships with a “lack of bench”. Let’s please stop finding excuses, we are one of the most talented teams in the BE, time to win.

True but our roster isn’t balanced this year. We only have two bigs that can give us quality minutes (only one active at the moment). Next year we probably won’t be as talented but we will be more balanced. Something we haven’t been in years!

Agree. St Johns/Marquette Big East championship game

SHU beats Xavier in Cinci and Gtwon up 8 with 7 to go @ Butler. This is gonna be a weird league

DePaul giving Nova all it can handle. Up 6 under 12 to go.

Losses to Furman and Penn, neck and neck with LaSalle and DePaul deep into 2nd half's, this Nova team stinks, can't wait to play them.

Interesting point. What would constitute a greater success this season; winning the Big East regular season and BET but only win one NCAA game, or sacrificing the Big East banners for a Sweet Sixteen?
