Big East Games of Interest: 2015-2016

Saint Mary's College loses to Pepperdine and their already paper thin resume takes a hit.

Butler needs to win tomorrow for several reasons -

- to maintain the perception of their being a top team
- to end their slide out of the Top 25
- to prevent 'Nova from maintaining/increasing the leader gap
- to show that the league is not 'Nova and the 9 dwarves this season

Should Butler lose, I see little creighton beginning to pick up some ARV's in the polls.

Creighton is two weeks and four wins from receiving votes.

What's bad it's RPI #136 Clemson..... AFTER the game.

Heading into this week their RPI was #192.

Also in the ACC, NC State lost again tonight- to Wake Forest. Going to take a miracle to get in the tourney this time. Got 2x Duke, 2x UNC, Miami, Pitt, Ga Tech, Virginia, and Notre Dame left.

UNLV Coach Dave Rice resigns after they go 0-3 in a down MW Conference.....alot of talent on that team.

folks want to talk about the AAC only getting 1 bid. The MWC is way more likely. Only Boise has a top 100 RPI right now. They're projected to be 69.1 in the RPI. So not good enough probably to get an at large if they lose in the tourney.

Kevin willard please take note.

Chicago franchise too.

Michigan takes down Maryland without LaVert, which helps Xavier. I always felt Maryland was overrated
