"The AAC said Georgetown is now flying to Hartford earlier Friday for Saturday's game against UConn while SMU is planning on getting into Philadelphia earlier for the Temple game Saturday. The AAC said officials have been confirmed they will make it for both games."

Interesting weekend lined up for the conference. Approaching the midway point of the race and we could see some real separation in the standings if things go to form. Gotta figure X rebounds at home against Seton Hall and can/will Nova finally get beat? I'm saying not at home especially after last night's Seton Hall scare. G'Town has their friendly non-con bout with UConn and you gotta think Marquette can avoid being the team to give up the first conference win to another defeated team in St. John's. DePaul is off. So to me the really intriguing game is Butler at Creighton. A Jays win puts them in a nice spot and really buries Butler in the standings. It should be a great one with a lot on on the line

If things break as talked about above and if Creighton finally gets one against a decent team at home standings could look like...
1. Nova 8-0
2. X, Creighton, G'Town 5-2
5. Providence 4-3
6. Seton Hall 3-4
7. Marquette 3-5
8. Butler 2-5
9. DePaul 1-6
10. St. John's 0-7

In reality, things would be shaping up to pretty much what was picked for pre-season with the exception of a complete swap of Butler and Creighton.

Sorry, but no one gives a damn what a UConvict fan thinks. You by chance aren't posting on a laptop you stole from someone are you?

Butler still hasn't lost to anyone not named Nova, X, or Providence, all ranked in the Top 16 in the country. Until they do, I can't see moving them out of that Top 4 spot. But Creighton hasn't either, making Saturday night's game very interesting.

That's why it's an interesting game for me. Creighton probably should have beat Providence at home and like you said, Butler hasn't lost to anyone not in that "top 3." With that said, I think Creighton is better then people think and Butler may not be as high as what we thought. Saturday will be very indicative of what they really are...5th to 6th in this years Big East.

Damn, was looking forward to watching this game at a bar in NYC to kick off a bachelor party along with some UConn fans who will be watching their game.

Hope it still goes on but this could be a problem.
