The Holy Land of Hoops

Three BE games Wednesday night...

7pm, St John's at Providence, FS1.
9pm, Xavier at #5 Villanova, FS1.
9pm, Creighton at Marquette, CBS-SN.

Home teams protect their courts. Pretty easy picks.

I'll be rooting for St. John's and Xavier to create a 7 way tie for 1st.

I love Xavier and even when the Big East was still the Big East I used to want to find a way to add them. With that being said, they run into an F'ing buzzsaw tonight.

My Johnnies need to win tonight.

St johns with back against the wall.
xavier. i don't see any possible way they can pull this off.
creighton may have found something in miliken from their last game.

Agreed, I expect a home team sweep

It's funny- everyone talks about how tonight is a must win for St John's- but I think you could make the case for it being a must win for PC almost. Considering they still have both games left with Xavier, Nova, and Seton Hall- and road game left with Georgetown-- they need to take care of business tonight.

i dont think this is a slam "dunk" at the dunk for PC. i may be a pessimist but is it more likley stj goes without a win or that PC loses? years of being a friar fan makes me nervous that its more likely PC loses. Same holds true with the visit to Creighton.
I want to be wrong but its hard to get hopes up
