Nah, root for BE teams to get walloped in non-conference games so that the wins and losses over them look worse instead of better.

where is Butler on

Thanks

Doesn't sound like you watched the game? If you did you would've seen one of the most competitive, back and forth games of the entire early college hoops season. Of course DePaul is celebrating. This is their best start since Reagan was in office. DePaul is a borderline Top 25 team right now with some big early season wins.

Texas Tech would wipe the floor with UMass. The clutch shot making (mostly from 3) late from both teams last night was big-time.

Tech's defense and coaching still very good.

Texas Tech up 9 on #1 Louisville midway thru 2nd half. Like I said this team is no joke and just makes that win for DePaul that much better.  UMass lol

Sandro out 2 months for Seton Hall. Hurts them.

Are you serious? You always root for your conference. Holy sh*t. Is this your first week following college basketball?

DePaul and Creighton will dance. He may be raw but I’d draft Weems of DePaul after his freshman year if I had pick 20 or below of the first round of the next draft.

Hell, I’d be tempted to take Reed as well. The only thing that will stand in the way of DePaul winning the league this year is chemistry and experience being a top team.

Syracuse isn’t very good. But Georgetown is killing them. They play very good defense. They won’t be in last place in the big east.

I don't think anybody expects Georgetown to be in last place in the Big East.

No but February will be tough 7 deep. Fatigue bound to set in, the extent governed by conditioning. Team looked in great shape.

Powell is out indefinitely. This team was overrated at 100%, and now they’ve lost their two best players. If I haven’t said it before, I’ll say it now, FU Seton Hall, you Jersey trash bag. I hope we pummel you twice, and then again in the BE tourney.

But seriously, can Kevin Willard keep them above water? It will be interesting to see how he handles this adversity. He hasn’t had to deal with much recently.

They probably have a losing record to start 2020.

Hate the seton hall fans. I really liked their team this year. Hopefully Powell returns soon.

Willard's dealt with adversity almost every season.  Whether you go back several years, with the Gibbs/Sina versus Tiny/Antigua crew fighting or even last year when they looked like a lock to dance and had a late year swoon until Powell rescued their season with some absolutely ridiculous performances.

I think Hall will still have a good year - it's their best roster in a while.  And I hope Powell comes back soon.  He's a truly great college player and seems like a great kid.  I also hope Powell is keeping his long term basketball interests in mind as he deals with this setback, because I wouldn't put it past Kevin Willard to play on this kids sense of loyalty and care for his teammates to rush him back when he shouldn't so Willard can get a few more W's.

Providence is terrible tonight. So far, they’ve done nothing well.
