Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Thursday the Big East has 5 teams in action. We went undefeated Wednesday in the Friars' blowout win over the Fightin Illini.

#22 Butler vs Missouri State, 1:30pm, ESPN-U, Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
Creighton at #14 Indiana, 7pm, B1G Network, Gavitt Games.
Rutgers at St John's, 7pm, FS1, Gavitt Games.
Seton Hall vs Long Beach State, 7pm, Charleston Classic.
Iowa at Marquette, 9pm, FS1, Gavitt Games.

All of these should be competitive and winnable.
Keep up the good work, and "Just Win, Baby!"...

Hopefully no worse than 3-2.

From what I've seen of Cole Huff so far, the guy is fantastic. Good size, great range, active on defense, looks like a solid rebounder. I think he can be a real difference maker.

Butler & Seton Hall win. Unfortunately, I think we go 2-3 today. I would LOVEEEEE for Creighton to dump the Loosiers in Bloomington though.

Marquette v Iowa in Milwaukee? Should be a pick 'em game.

St John's should be huge favorites. Rutgers is beyond words bad. If the johnnies lose I think they fire Mullin's immediately.

I'm not convinced either team is ready to compete with a Big Ten team. We will see. I wouldn't be upset if I am wrong by any means.

I see Butler, SJU and Seton Hall winning. SJU vs. Rutgers will be close though. Also, Long Beach State just beat BYU so that wont be easy. Marquette guard play has just been horrible, dont see them beating a veteran Iowa team. Hope im wrong.

Currently favored in 4/5 games:

Current lines:
Butler -17
SJU -6
Seton Hall -3
