Tue Feb 24th, 2G, PC-VU, Creighton-DePaul...

[billyjack]

2 games Tuesday night...

7pm, #25 Providence at #6 Villanova, FS1.
9pm, Creighton at DePaul, FS1.

Intriguing game at the DuPont Pavilion (is it still called that?) with PC ranked for the first time since 2004. FS1 has unveiled its latest BE player commercial, a cool one comparing LaDontae Henton with the '77 Viking spacecraft.

Villanova is an amazin' 25-2, with 8 straight wins. Not sure when they last lost at the Pavilion.

Creighton looking for some payback in suburban Chicago. The Bluejays have won 3 of their last 6.

DePaul has hit a rough patch, having lost 7 of their last 8. I really hope that the Blue Demons strongly consider making a coaching change after the season is over. Maybe just don't overthink the hiring process, keep it simple... Brian Wardle is just a few hours to the north. It's time to make a move.

Let's go Nova!

Us Blue Demon fans really do want a coaching change. Unfortunately, Purnell is not recruiting for success and his teams do NOT know how to play defense. We cannot figure out how this trend can continue for 5 straight years.

My belief after watching every game is that his successful defenses have been full court press, wear-you-down teams. He has not recruited enough of those players so my assumption is that he does not know how to teach "regular" half court defense.

DePaul and Chicago have TOO much to offer not to be one of the best Big East programs.

This next hire is the most important hire in decades for DePaul.

PC is going to get crushed. Senior day, Villanova playing for #1 seed and PC ranked for 1st time in awhile. all point to a PC collapse. I hope im wrong but i doubt it

Well...we suck.

Top 25 was nice for a week I guess.

PC can't even complete a hand-off pass at the top of the key vs. Nova. Noticed it last game too. Just an awful match up for PC. Lack of a 2 guard really shows vs. Nova.

I really hope this Nova team makes a very deep run in March.

Another nice win for the Cats, and another nice game for Big East Player of the Year Darrun Hilliard!

Villanova captures at least a share of the Big East regular season title. Nova looks the part of a #1 national seed.

Apparently Cooley started the press conference with "Glad that sh_t's over".
