Hoyas should play all their home games in Maui, they get bigger crowds

Somebody wake the BlueJays up.

Jays are getting killed on the glass! 26 to 11 at the half, got to do a lot better than that or it's going to be a long night Jays!

Butler up 40 with the walkons playing 10 mins in the second half... Jays woke up and finished it off.

Overall a good night for the Big East. Pair of F5 wins and it looks like the cupcakes were properly devoured. Good job all.

Not a bad week for the Jays beating a team from the B1G, PAC-12, ACC and SEC. .

We obviously have to do a better job on the glass. That's the second game (Wisky 1st) where we won despite being badly outrebounded. Tonight we went + 5 in second half rebounding to pull away late. We need to rebound better because we can't count on 16 of 26 from 3 every game. (at least I don't think we can!)

Obviously the Hoyas were the big game of the night, but I've been really impressed with Butler (I know, it was a crap opponent). Lot of roster turnover, but they're putting it together as a team. And the win over NW looks a lot bigger now. I'd love to see them get a shot at AZ in Vegas.

Kudos to G'Town for neutralizing one of their bad losses. They need a few more big wins to get back into things before Big East play. Very, very impressed with Creighton. They just handle their business. They are a legit top 10 team. Ole Miss is one of those teams that may not be ranked all the time, but they are always very dangerous. So far, Creighton has exceeded expectations of even the most optimistic on this board. Adding Xavier, Butler, and Creighton may go down as one of the best realignment moves ever. When you think about it, they all took a big step up in competition and kept winning. That's very very hard to do but for 3/3 of them to do so? Impressive. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but as we continue to prove that we are still a power conference, I have noticed that ESPN takes us more seriously. I must have seen 3-4 Big East teams featured on their Instagram feeds with top plays and recaps. That was not the case just a year or two ago. I know ESPN usually covers all ranked games, but even still I have noticed Big East teams featured more prominently.

When I wrote that I also saw that they were 70% from 3 and coming back very quickly! Glad they came back and won and from the few times I turned over to them, it looked like they were fighting on the boards a lot harder. Explosive offense for sure!
