Non Big East Games of Interest - 2016-17

[Jet915]

Figured I'd start a thread for games of interest that are non-Big East like we did last year.

And the inaugural post shall be... UCONN. American conference flagship opens their season with a home loss to Wagner. Luckily their conference slate with games vs ECU and Tulane will give them good win opportunities.

With a DePaul win and a Washington loss to Yale, the BIG EAST is the only remaining undefeated conference in the country. (10-0)

In other news, UCONN lost again, this time to Northeastern

[Jet915]

San Diego State getting totally beat down by Gonzaga and Fresno State loses to Prairie View A&M. Mountain West probably another 1 bid league this year....

Yeah, wow, both UConn and Boston College:

WAGNER:
Wagner 67, UConn 58.
UMass Lowell 87, Wagner 76.

NICHOLLS STATE:
Nicholls State 79, BC 73.
Central Florida 80, Nicholls State 56.

Northwestern beats #22 Texas which helps Butler. Also, UCONN loses to Oklahoma State to drop to 1-3 .

Also Bucknell beats Vanderbilt which also helps Butler but not Marquette.

Also Bucknell beats Vanderbilt which also helps Butler but not Marquette.

Don't think it really helps Butler... Butler plays Vanderbilt on Thursday so either way it should have the same effect on SOS.

I was impressed by Northwestern against Butler. I think they are a good team. That win will help Butler come March.

UCF also is an interesting team. Gave Nova some trouble and they certainly will make hay in AAC with that 7'6" center.
