2017 Big East tournament thread - Thursday games

[Bill Marsh]

Providence and Marquette did not do what they had to do today. I fear their bids may be in jeopardy. Hope I'm wrong.

Anyone watching the UCLA v. USC game right now... and the awkward discussion between both commentators? WTF is going on. Never seen something like this happen on ESPN. So awkward. I forgot the commentators name...

EDIT: Nevermind apparently bill walton is known to do this. This is what happens when you watch nothing but big east basketball

What was the topic of the awkward conversation?

If their wins vs Xavier and Creighton looked questionable before, they looks a little better now. I think the results were optimal for the league. But I think it's close enough that there should be lots of scoreboard watching tomorrow. Seeing the likes of Kansas State creep back into the picture reminds me of this old video:

I hate to say it, but at least Butler's loss let another Big East team in the big dance. As a Butler fan, I'm ready to face a team from another conference. Man, it's been a meat grinder this year.

Crowds have looked great on TV.

Get out a little. Bill Walton is at times very entertaining to listen to and at times very tedious to listen to. But, sometimes when he gets on a stream of consciousness it is pretty funny, and because I don't think anyone thinks in the colors that Bill Walton thinks, there is nothing his partner can do to carry along the conversation. So, yes there can be some awkward conversations.

the thing that's so wild right now for Xavier is they would really probably be much better off losing now tomorrow night. A win tomorrow probably equals them getting up to the 9 line which you don't want. I think right now they are in that 10 or 11 line but not in the first 4. Really the best case if you aren't in the top 7 line. Plus not sure them getting 4 games this week would be all that conducive for next weekend and success then when it really matters.

Plus a Creighton win probably guarantees them a 6-7 seed.

yeah, totally agree.

hold on, you and I agree 100% on something for like the 2nd time this week. What the hell is going on around here?

So then, we all agree right? X should just lay down tonight.

I'm glad you're being objective about this.

The scary thing for me is that i think like Walton too and he seems sane to me...

Imagine what it was like for the 8 of us who finished below you in the standings!
