Hello March! (2) Sunday Big East Games

[scoscox]

you live by the three...

Agree 100%. Jump shooting teams are one cold night from elimination in March. However today had more to do with St. John’s going flamethrower from three. No one saw that coming.

tbf it had a double meaning in this instance

johnnies shot 65~% and creighton shot 15~% from three

apologies to anyone watching our game today. as usual, it's ugly out there

I see Mac and the Jays saw that is was March. Naturally, they get blown out by one of the league's bottom feeders. Btw St John's was missing two key rotational players and CU was healthy. St John's came into today being one of the league's worst 3-point shooting teams. CU came in as the opposite. Naturally, St John's catches fire and Creighton can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Big East title? Forget about that.

Sweet 16?? Forget about it. It ain't ever happening (barring an act of God). This is why Creighton always has and will choke in the dance. It's a tradition unlike any other. Saving the worst performances of the year for the worst possible time. Nobody else does it better than Creighton.

The most laughable of them all is Mac being considered for national coach of the year. While I was happy with success they had, I always knew it happened IN SPITE and not because of him.

Sorry!

How many bottles?

yeah should be pretty safe. Think for sure the loser of the PC/Xavier game if they win 1 more game is totally safe.

On our board, I likened this version of Xavier b-ball to a chronic lier strapped to a lie detector: the needles bounce wildly from top to bottom on the paper. No smooth middle ground. Fundamentals and focus are optional.

Good Naji. Bad Naji. Dumb Naji. Brilliant Naji. And, of course, hero-ball Naji.

And his cast of characters join in. Tyrique with a truly stupid technical certainty didn’t help with the optics of a national broadcast.

When does a win feel like a root canal? Today.

BTW, and seriously, good fight and effort on the part of the Hoyas.

Congrats to all of us on suffering through what may have been the worst officiated game ever.

Yep. I normally avoid commenting on that aspect of the game. But they were brutal in both directions.
