2016-17 Big East Plus/Minus Standings

[X-band '01]

+1 for a road win, -1 for a home loss:

VILLANOVA (+2) - W at Creighton, W at St. John's
CREIGHTON (+1) - L vs. Villanova, W at St. John's, W at Providence
BUTLER (+1) - W at Georgetown
XAVIER (+1) - W at Georgetown
MARQUETTE (0)

PROVIDENCE (-1) - L vs. Creighton

As you may have guessed, both Seton Hall and Marquette have held serve at home but have yet to win a road game in Big East play.

6 total road wins on that entire list. The road is not easy in this league. The good news for us is that we've only got one very difficult road games left.

[X Factor]

I think every road game is going to be difficult for this team.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I think every road game is going to be difficult for this team.

As they are for most teams in college basketball.

Part of me wants Gtown to turn it around and another part of me wants them to tank so they can get a real coach on the sidelines.

Ha, I agree on being conflicted, but in terms of short-term self-interest, I hope they notch 4-5 more wins so that they remain a top 100 road win.
