3 Team race for Big East Title

[dmac80]

Fair enough.... I guess my point was, to me, there was nova and then everyone else coming into this season.

I mean you can't blame anyone for not predicting providence to be THAT good this year.

There were a lot of question marks after the departure of cotton and that other dude that left. Can't think of his name at the moment, but he hit some big 3s against St. John's in the big east tournament game and was a good player.

Also, with Dunn being injured so much, no one knew what to expect.

On top of that, no one know Henton was going to be this dominant, I mean holy crap he looked like an all American out there today.

My top 3 right now would be Nova, providence, Xavier in that order. Creighton and Georgetown will be 4 and 5. St. John's, the hall, and butler will be 6-8 and I think Marquette and DePaul will be 9 and 10 this year. But a lot of things can change. And maybe I'm being to hard on MU, they did play ohio state tough. One bad loss doesn't determine the year.

We will have to wait and see how it all plays out.

I don't necessarily think you're being too hard on us. We haven't shown we can do anything yet. We have had a disappointing loss to a bad team, struggled in the first half with another bad team, and did slightly better than expected at Ohio State. We hope Fischer is a huge difference maker, but there is nothing to back that up yet. I think it is perfectly fair to expect us near the bottom until/unless we actually show something.

He stayed on the court last game long enough to put up 20+ and 12 boards. Can you tell me the last Big man from St Johns to do that?

His weight is down from last season and he’s been playing about 25 minutes a game on a team that is currently ranked 15 in tempo. No reason to Bash the kid he’s playing fine.

What the F does SJU have to do with this conversation? Josh Smith has failed to live up to his expectations. One game against an early season OOC cupcake isn't an indication he's turned the corner. Has he ever played an entire season yet in his college career?

22 and 11 today…St John’s plays cupcakes also bruh. Still waiting for news of anything similar from any St Johns player this decade against any level of Competition.

Once again, WTF does SJU have to do with this. Why do you keep changing the subject? Also, personally I'd rather have Obekpa. Someone who is actually athletic and can run up and down the court.

22 and 10+ rebounds in his last 2 71% from the floor

WTF does what he did in previous seasons have to do with what he’s doing this season? The kid is playing well, no reason to bash him.
