(4) Saturday Big East Games 2/8/20

[Xudash]

Additionally, Myles Powell broke Seton Hall's all time 3pt record today and Jay Wright made sure he went home with the game ball. All class.

That truly is a classy move. Love this league.

X holds serve against the Friars. Wasn’t easy - surprise.

[Xuperman]

Huge WIN for X. The boxscore leaves something to be desired but the intensity on both sides were phenomenal.

Here's the thing. X has A LOT of work to do to get an at large. The urgent job at hand is avoiding that dreaded bottom 4 come BET. This W gets us a little comfort in that regard.

Ah yes. You don’t want to be playing Wed evening. This game worried me. PC has some horses and they can ball. This league is awesome.

PC would win the AAC in my opinion. THAT team is simply vicious....Watson, Diallo, Duke, AJ....GTFO! The TOP 6 of the BEast are dancing.

I agree X-guys, that was a fun game to watch. Bruising, fighting for every point.

Our weaknesses here in February are the same as they were in non-conference, and each game we try to overcome them:

- PG position has struggled.

- Pipkins does one good thing-- he hits free throws. If he has a hot stretch and hits a couple-few threes, ultimately it will come back to hurt us, cuz he'll jack up 8 misses after that. His 35-foot three point attempt with 35 secs down three made zero sense. If Pipkins hits a couple threes, he needs to see the bench otherwise he hurts us.

- Diallo needs to stop shooting beyond 10 feet. Grab tough boards, grind it out down low, play tough D.

- Duke is fantastic. Gantt has been great. Watson and Young gave us good minutes. Reeves has room.to be more aggressive. White needs to run the offense like he has, but has to be more careful with the ball.

I'm not upset with the L. i don't expect us to get an NCAA bid. Just glad we're competitive. I like that we fight and grind. We are who we are, a team with holes that has 2 seniors that make questionable decisions, which cost us games.

As a conference I think we'll get 6 bids. Seton, VU, BU, Creighton, Marquette, and Xavier. Actually i think either Georgetown or the Johnnies are capable of getting a bid too. SJU beat West Virginia and Arizona, among others. Sometimes things click, and we still have 9 games plus the BET for them to get hot.

Also, Tim Miles ... actually pretty entertaining in a goofy way. Kind of like Dickey Simpkins behind the mike, just enjoying entertaining basketball without a lot of drama or whineyness like Spanarkel or Lappas. Simpkins isn't goofy though. Miles is a notch less goofy than the late Rip Taylor.

And X has a ton of talent across the board. Moore had key plays and Tandy of course. Great rebounding and played well against the zone.

Believe it or not, but we're down to 7 games. SJU would have to go 5-2 to finish at 18-13. Even with the 2 good OOC wins, that's kind of a minimum requirement for them... Georgetown only 4-3, but a pretty difficult schedule remaining. 4 of the 7 games left with the close to NCAA locks now, and then also Xavier. The problem for both of them is that's the likely 8/9 game, where they play Wednesday night at 7pm, and the winner gets 1 seed at Noon the next day. Brutal turnaround. Probably would need to make the tourney at least win that game....

Dude seriously cut the shit, we're 2-9 in conference, wtf you think, we're gonna all of a sudden win the last 7? IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
Give the extra bid to g-town, they kicked out asses.
We could be 2-12 in conf and some of you people would still say oh sju still has a chance, starting to become comic.
I gave up on the nit after we blew the 17pnt lead to g-town.

Sorry for the language but sometimes you just need to stop.

I turned it on 10 minutes in and thought it sounded like Lisa Byington, couldn't figure out why she was being so goofy.

You guys did a good job of disrupting us most of the night. We could never put it all together. We left the door open for awhile there at the end but were able to keep you guys from taking advantage. Really tough game

Pc has great athletes all over the floor. Very rarely do we play a team more athletic than we are but pc definitely is. It’s criminal how they underperformed in the non con with that roster. They should be an NCAA tournament team
