Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Besides 2 wins I want to see how the offenses of the BE teams play today.

Both winnable BE games today with GU and Marquette. Just win baby.

I would pull for VCU, UConn, Temple and UMass.
Selfishly I should root for BC, but for the Big East anything that makes the ACC look like a pile of dung is good for us.
PC plays at UMass in December, so it'd be nice to have them win... plus Creighton fans dislike Nebraska, so that's another positive.

Nova plays Temple later also.

ACC has 5 games today...
BC/UConn- Ken Pom has a 84% chance of winning for UConn
FSU/VCU- Ken Pom has a 77% chance of winning for VCU

they have 2 games where ACC is favorite but...
Clem/Tem- Ken Pom has 70% chance for Clemson
Miami/UCF- Ken Pom has 76% chance for Miami

and then
Wake/Citadel- Ken Pom has 96% chance for Wake

A bad night tonight would be just awful for them. Shucks darn it!!!

I rarely will root for an ACC team, but I will be rooting for BC tonight, if only to help PC's RPI and to screw over the UCONN fans.

I'm at work so didnt get a chance to watch the game but I just looked at the box score. Whow, pathetic display. Josh Smith scored 9 points and only 6 rebounds.

We should not be losing to teams like Northeastern!

Didn't see the game either but 36% from 2 and 18% from 3 are usually game killers.

I think folks are focusing way too much on Josh Smith Think we played much better vs Wright State when he was out of the game. Get way too bogged down when he's out there.

The fact is that Smith has the potential to compete with Dough with BE Player of the Year and he is not living up to his expectations.
