The thing is, while Butler appeared to be a good passing team tonight, The Citadel basically gave up playing defense for a large portion of the second half. I still have concerns about their offense. Other than Dunham, this is a team that looks like it's going to struggle from deep, and given their lack of size on the interior, that's a problem.

I wouldn't take too much away from this one, but tonight was a lot of fun to watch.

Depaul storming back.....as an aside, Depaul should probably just play all their games at McGrath, atleast it's packed.

Depaul wins 69-63. Actually made adjustments for the second half and tightened up that defense. Probably won't finish top half this year but doubt they'll finish last like this board predicts.

I think most people would probably switch their votes to SJU if they could, especially with Lovett ineligible.

Creighton beats Texas Southern 93-70. Khyri Thomas leads team with 18 points and was very impressive offensively and defensively. Mo Watson also impressed w/10 points and 7 assists.

An open note to Bearcat, but worthwhile reading for others as well as several of you have referenced this recently:

I've historically been pretty easygoing with trolls, probably to a fault, as I think contrary opinions can be constructive. However, this is a Big East board and coming here simply to troll and not offer much in terms of value eventually leads to diminished posting privileges or an outright ban. You've reached step one. Keep going and you'll quickly reach step two.

I don't know who is worse, stever or bearcat bounce. Both basically arguing that watching a ESPN3 internet stream is better than, you know actually watching the game on TV via FS2. LOL. Losers.

Agreed, I don't know the numbers but I didn't get FS2 last year and this year I get it in HD. I didn't upgrade any package either so their subscriber numbers must be higher.

Stever has his own issues but at least he's earnest. There are others who fall into that category. I don't have a problem with them being here.

Bearcat is a garden variety turd that won't flush.

I know some people don't get FS2 unless they upgrade, but I have Directv and I don't get ESPN3. But there's probably almost just as many people who don't get ESPNU or ESPNews unless they upgrade as well, so FS2 isn't the only one in that boat.

BTW I'm writing this as I'm currently watching a internet UFC 193 stream, internet streams aren't bad compared to paying 54.99 or whatever. But there is absolutely no, none, no what so ever comparison to actually watching something on TV. Streams lock-up, freeze, and buffer all the damn time even ESPN3 ones.

I know some of the ESPN3 games are on the ESPN College Extra package now. I know that's on Directv. Not sure about the others. In HD. I know the UConn game last night was going to be on there, and I think the Cincy game tomorrow will be as well. I'd venture a guess(haven't seen yet)- any conference games on ESPN3 would be on that group.

Also, still a lot of folks don't have FS2. I thought the last number I saw was about 50 million folks- 35 million fewer than FS1 does get.
