[bobbiemcgee]

Nova blown out by the Buckeyes.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Chris Holtmann is a really good coach it seems.

[xudash]

Well, it was kind of one of those games, in the sense that Ohio State was blindingly hot from behind the arc, and was so early on. Nova was in catch-up mode virtually right out of the gate and stayed that way all night.

[D-West & PO-Z]

They gave a stat last night. Holtmann has won 3 in a row vs Wright. Only coach to do that in his time as Nova coach I believe they said. If not that long the only one to do that is some sort of significant time.

[scoscox]

Chris Holtmann is a really good coach it seems.

really good against jay wright

[Muskie]

Marquette v. Wisky is a rivalry game. Should be an interesting clash of styles.

[GoMuskies]

Should be a relatively clean week against that slate. Granted, Merrimack beat Northwestern, so Providence obviously needs to pay attention to that one.

[XUGRAD80]

Texas over GT wouldn’t be a surprise

Marquette lost at Wisconsin

Georgia State lost at Georgetown

Seton Hall won at St. Louis

[sirthought]

Merrimack standing no chance vs. Providence tonight. Their lead in the second half is 29 points.
EDIT: Final difference is 37 points!

Providence's defensive efficiency has been so strong thus far this season, they are leading the Big East in overall adjusted efficiency.
That category continues in order with:
2 Villanova
3 Seton Hall
4 Marquette
5 Xavier
6 Creighton
7 Butler
8 Georgetown
9 Depaul
10 St. John's

Georgetown has the worst defensive efficiency, but their offense has made up the difference, so far.

Creighton has had the strongest offensive efficiency so far. A lot of this is depending on who the opponent is, also, and I'm not sure how clear of a picture these numbers are showing.

Xavier, for what it's worth, is sitting kind of in the middle due to its scoring issues. If we were knocking down just a slightly higher percentage, our defense would move us to the top.

Is this a D1 school? Doesn't sound like one. Why is Providence playing these clowns??

[sirthought]

Is this a D1 school? Doesn't sound like one. Why is Providence playing these clowns??

I think this is their first year as D1. They could be the next NKU! The school is about the size of Xavier.

[GoMuskies]

Merrimack beat Northwestern.

[xukeith]

I guess they are D2. They have good records during the past 3 years but no BE school should be playing d2 schools. It doesn't help.

This is their first year as D1, but they won't be a full member until 2023-2024. Northeast Conference.

[UCGRAD4X]

Well I think it's just sweet of Providence to welcome the Merrimak Warriors to real D1 basketball by handing them a 37 point lesson.

[sirthought]

Columbia missing Myles Hanson tonight against St. John's. Down big.

11/21/2019____Thu

#17 Villanova beat Middle Tenn State by 29 points. Cole Swider—still coming off the bench—went 6-11 from three, to score 26 points, with seven rebounds. Wildcats had few holes in their game in this one.

Georgetown vs. #22 Texas



BTW, conference record is 31-3

[X-band '01]

Columbia missing Myles Hanson tonight against St. John's. Down big.

They missed him more against Wake T. Forest

[GoMuskies]

[SIZE=1]


BTW, conference record is 31-3

Didn't we lose 5 Gavitt Games?

[sirthought]

Didn't we lose 5 Gavitt Games?

You are not wrong. My mistake. I kind of blindly grabbed the numbers from the Fox Sports standings page and didn't look at how they organized the records.

34-7

[drudy23]

Cole Swider would look nice in Xavier blue about right now.

[muskiefan82]

Nice win over Texas, Hoyas. Well done.

[sirthought]

Georgetown did exactly what they needed to do in that second half. Play defense. They seem to have the scoring part down. Good win for them.

[UCGRAD4X]

You are not wrong. My mistake. I kind of blindly grabbed the numbers from the Fox Sports standings page and didn't look at how they organized the records.

34-7

It's spread out too, with seven one loss teams a three undefeated (yeah us!).

Tournament play has amended the schedule today.

Villanova beat Mississippi State by seven. Four Nova starters score in double figures, as the team shoots 58% from the field.

#1 Duke vs. Georgetown

Morehead St vs. Butler

Cal Poly vs Creighton

[sirthought]

Butler being challenged early in a quad four game with Morehead State.

[GoMuskies]

Nice start at least for the Hoyas.

Georgetown as a whole ain't that great, but Akinjo is absurd good.

[GIMMFD]

Nice start at least for the Hoyas.

Georgetown as a whole ain't that great, but Akinjo is absurd good.

I started a block of practice questions in the first half when Georgetown was up 22 to like 11, check the score now and they're down 9, what the hell happened??

[Xville]

Georgetown is getting duked by the refs harder than any time I have ever seen. The refs should be investigated after this one.

[UCGRAD4X]

Nova not exactly putting away Miss. St. - in doubt until the very end.

Hall running away from A&M.

Only undefeated so far: Butler, DePaul and Xavier.

[bobbiemcgee]

Marquette looking sluggish against 1-5 R Morris.

[scoscox]

not sure how you score 19 in a half with a team that includes markus howard

[noteggs]

Only undefeated so far: Butler, DePaul and Xavier.

Just how the pundits called it.

[paulxu]

What the?
Providence down to Penn.
St John's up 9 at the half...loses by 13.

Mighty DePaul keeps on rolling.

i've been assured that cooley is john wooden incarnate though, so i'm sure it's not his fault

[IM4X]

It would be nice to see them do well this year... just not as well as X.

[Xville]

I think the hall, nova, x and georgetown are good, I think the rest of the be is pretty meh.

[MADXSTER]

I'm going to add DePaul to your list

[Xville]

I'm going to add DePaul to your list

Possibly. I honestly haven't watched a game of theirs yet this year. I just have a really hard time saying DePaul is good, but..maybe

[MADXSTER]

They are 6-0 and are pretty good.
