Top 10 Big East Non-Con Wins

Postby milksteak » Sun Dec 18, 2016 11:25 am

Big East Coast Bias posted a question yesterday asking which non-conference win was the best. I think it would interesting to explore that question ourselves.

Here's how I would rank them:

1. Villanova @ Purdue
2. Villanova @ Notre Dame
3. Butler vs. IU (neutral)
4. Seton Hall vs. South Carolina (neutral)
5. Creighton vs. Wisconsin (home)
6. Butler vs. Arizona (neutral)
7. Butler vs. Cincinnati (home)
8. Georgetown @ Syracuse
9. Xavier vs. Clemson (neutral)
10. Providence vs. Rhode Island (home)

I'd put the Butler win vs. Indiana at 2nd, the Nova/ND was in Newark so it was a neutral site game.

Georgetown beat Oregon and Oregon is ranked 22 right now. They are definitely a better team than Syracuse though personally I'd much rather have the win over Syracuse if choosing between the two.

Forgot about that one. Good call.

Haha. A win is a win. No one will care a day later as long as you win.

Nova ND was a neutral court (and that's pushing it...Seton Hall's home court, and rather biased towards Nova).
