Just starting a thread for conversation around other BE games not involving X. Non conference and conference.
BE opened undefeated yesterday. Good start to avoid a bad early loss by anyone.

Watching Georgetown playing some school called Le Moyne College? Guess it’s their first year in D1. Ironically they play Villanova in 3 days. Nothing like a Jesuit and Augustinian schools giving their brethren a baptism into the big league!
DePaul. No words.
It was Purdue. They are really good.Quote:

Oh Ed, what have you done? Gtown goes full DePaul against kenpom 330+ holy cross.
I want St. John's to do well, but cheering FOR Pitino will be weird.
I’m not sure they are going to be all that good this year. Outside of Soriano, they have mid major talent. It’s enough to win some games here and there and obviously pitino is one hell of a coach but I thought the prognostications of them being a top 5 be team were a bit odd.Quote:

Nova down 6 to Penn under 2 to go?
Nova goes down to the Quakers. I know I should have wanted Nova to pull it out but ...
Maybe there is something to this Neptune thing
If Neptune misses the tournament his seat will be on fire. Lots of basketball to be played, but Neptune not inspiring confidence among Villanova fans.Quote:

Seems like he's going to do far better than Cooley will at Georgetown this year.
I bet Steve Stricker has a serious case of the sadz right now.
So UConn is up 80-46 2nd half. They were -45.5 odds.

Newsflash - Marquette still really good. Kolek still controls everything.
Final UConn didn't cover, only won 87-53. Many happy Miss Valley State bettors are cashing in.[emoji2]

Wasn't sure he would play initially - he got hurt in their last game and was a gametime decision tonight.Quote:

With the remaining games, I think that should guarantee at least a tie in the last year of the gavitt games
We need to take care of as much business as possible against anyone not called Creighton, Marquette and UConn. It's early, but those 3 teams look ridiculously good. There are going to be some serious wars at the top of this conference this year.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s early but I see the big East in tiers:Quote:

Butler, St. John’s and hall in the next group
Gtown, DePaul at the bottom.
Although MOR tried to tell us that butler was losing everyone and not bringing anyone in, I think they are actually going to be pretty solid. Probably a bubble team imo.
Butler is winning by big margins, and Posh Alexander, who transferred from the Johnnies is lighting it up.
Yep. I’ll be interested to see how they do against Michigan state. That should be a good barometer on where they should be this yearQuote:

How did DePuke do?
Win and coverQuote:

Per kenpom this morning BE (3rd)is now ahead of B10(4th) in conference rankings.
Take that with a huge grain of salt - there's going to be preseason bias for about another month until KenPom is completely based on this season's stats.
Good lord. Dayton beats St Johns.
