The Holy Land of Hoops

Wednesday night the BET first round games kick off.

7pm, 9-Marquette vs 8-Seton Hall.
9:30pm, 10-Creighton vs 7-DePaul.

The beginning of a great week of hoops in Manhattan...!

Marquette just got another 4-star recruit today.
Seton Hall looking to get some momentum and a possible BET rematch with Villanova.
Creighton has been playing excellent ball over the last few weeks.
DePaul beat Georgetown in last year's BET, but this could possibly be Oliver's last game.

One can only hope

Gus Johnson, Bill Raftery and Molly McGrath will be working both games on Wednesday night.

The incomparable duo of play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson and analyst Bill Raftery call four BIG EAST Tournament first-round and quarterfinal games before Raftery takes the microphone in Chicago for the Big Ten Tournament. Proving that he is truly “Mr. March,” Raftery calls conference tournament games on three different networks this year, sitting behind the mic for the Big Ten semifinals and final for CBS in addition to his first-round and quarterfinal BIG EAST games on FOX Sports 1 and two quarterfinal games on Big Ten Network.

Former All-American Jim Jackson joins Johnson to call the BIG EAST semifinals and final, while Justin Kutcher and Donny Marshall call a pair of quarterfinals on the afternoon of Thursday, March 12, and Molly McGrath serves as sideline reporter for the entire tournament. The BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament presented by New York Life tips off Wednesday, March 11, with a pair of first-round games (7:00 PM ET and 9:30 PM ET), and concludes Saturday, March 14 with the championship final (8:00 PM ET). Championship game coverage begins with a one-hour edition of the FOX SPORTS 1 COLLEGE HOOPS TIP-OFF pregame show at 7:00 PM ET. Rob Stone hosts studio coverage all week long at Madison Square Garden and is joined by analysts Kevin O’Neill, Donny Marshall and Tarik Turner.

Marquette Golden Eagles v. Seton Hall Pirates (-1, -1½)

Creighton Bluejays (-4) v. DePaul Blue Demons

Games are being blacked out in Indy on U-Verse. Gonna get the old transistor radio out.

Seton Hall has not shown up yet. It's a shame. I really wanted Seton Hall to do well after the class they showed in our last game. Hopefully they can turn it around.

Glad Seton Hall didn't decide before the game that they're gonna pack it in for the season... Pathetic. I'm pretty sure 5 random posters from this board would beat them.
