Big East Basketball

Unlike the Big12, this is a league with a real defined bottom.

But do they at least have a top? I've only seen a handful of BE games. Watched X/Prov last night and they looked pretty good to me.

But I watch a lot of Big 12 games and I'm not sure the Big 12 has a top either. They look like they have one great big middle to me.

Unless somebody goes on a tear, Big East is going to clog the 4-5 line.

If not for UConn wrecking OOC they'd be looking at clogging the 6-7 lines. That's how much difference one team doing well OOC means.

I think -140 is a bit steep. We should be the favorite but not like that.

Providence and Creighton are clearly the bets. Wow.

I agree.

Even for a big Marquette fan.

-140 is not a fair bet, lol. Maybe they know something.

It's just not good value ha.

But I think they are just going off whats happened so far. We could slip up, anything is possible. But so far we have obliterated the bottom of this league. So having Butler twice, at Gtown, SJU/Depaul home. I think they are seeing too many easy wins.

Basically go 1-2 in the other 3(especially if the win is X) and we are a near lock to at least share.

All the other teams have "more likely" slip up games/play each other more. And in Creightons case they have to play a full extra game.
 
Hopefully yesterday was our woof game.

Boy that was bad. Win is what matters most though.

Well....

This is why Ive called Uconn a match up nightmare for us for a few years. Just glad we pulled out the one at home.

I should always bet on the opposite of what I predict...
 
What a game.

Top half of this league is nuts
 
Nova now 7-8 in league play.

Issue for them is they have a weird schedule so far where they are completely done with the BE cupcakes. They have a 5 game gauntlet to end where they play 5 of the top 6 one time each. MU being only team they are done with.

Nova could really play a spoiler role though if they win a few of these.
 
We are not even gonna break 30 tonight.

This is the worst an MU team has played including Wojos first year when we new the team had down syndrome coming in
 
Fucking won it with D unreal.

Omax was shit all night. But was daddy when it counted.

Control our fate. But have to get back to playing better ball.

If they can win the rest of their reg season games, probably a lock for a 3 seed.

At Creighton will be a tall task. Seeding might be done by a coin flip too.

MU and Creighton have the exact same losses. If they beat us tuesday and we both win out the others. Thats a wild 16-4 tie.
