Marquette at Ohio State is tough just because of MU adjusting to their new coach.

PC needs to play tighter, smarter defense to beat FSU and Notre Dame. Hopefully we work out kinks vs Binghamton and Navy. And again, the FSU/ND games at Mohegan Sun will be packed with Friar fans.

But yeah, like Jet said, 2-2 would be fine.

I would be shocked if the ND game didn't have a ton of Irish fans as well.

They wont. Their fan base is in FB. I've been to a bunch of SJU/ND games at MSG and they barely get a fan base to show up.

Agreed Redman. Plus last night we changed the road signs between Moosup and Uncasville. Irish fans will be sent to Foxwoods instead.

11/18: Marquette at Ohio State
11/19: Oklahoma at Creighton
11/22: Providence vs. Florida State
11/23: Providence vs. Notre Dame

Go Big East!

Big week for establishing ourselves in the minds of the voters/selection committees and for getting some numbers on the board for all the computer based analysis (RPI, Deep RPI, Kenpom, etc, etc.). Every game on the slate is winnable, but we aren't going to win all 4 either. 2-2 is what I'm guessing the BE does in this slate, but a 3-1 record for the week would be a great result.

0-4 would not surprise me at all.

I think 1-3 is the most likely result, then 0-4, then 2-2, then 3-1.

Giving Marquette and Creighton very little chance. I think it's up to Providence to carry the load, but Florida St and ND aren't push overs.

First match-up out of the way. The Quette played a strong game but fell short. The Jays up next tonight against the Sooners.

ACC: 0-0
Big 10: 0-1
Big 12: 0-0
Pac 12: 0-0
SEC: 0-0

Overall: 0-1

TONIGHT: Oklahoma at Creighton
11/22: Providence vs. Florida State
11/23: Providence vs. Notre Dame

GO BIG EAST!

Creighton comes up with a huge upset against a top 20 team. Awesome job. OK Providence, we're looking at you now! Time for a little ACC payback!

ACC: 0-0
Big 10: 0-1
Big 12: 1-0
Pac 12: 0-0
SEC: 0-0

Overall: 1-1


11/22: Providence vs. Florida State
11/23: Providence vs. Notre Dame

There is just nothing like beating an ACC team. Providence destroys the Seminoles:

Big 10: 0-1
Big 12: 1-0
Pac 12: 0-0
SEC: 0-0

Overall: 2-1


11/23: Providence vs. Notre Dame

Oh Notre Dame. You jumped ship so quickly leaving the group that brought you in so long ago. Excellent job by the Friars giving the ACC another loss and a loss to an ex-conference mate.

ACC: 2-0
Big 10: 0-1
Big 12: 1-0
Pac 12: 0-0
SEC: 0-0

Overall: 3-1

That is one tough slate. We will be underdogs in most of these games to go along with Villanova not looming so great. This week will make or break us.
