And guess what, you'll start to see other power conference teams doing it, especially the ones with 20 conference games.


The importance of that match-up cannot be understated. I hope that Hoya nation comes out in full force to help the team win against the Cuse
Stony Brook Red, Connecticut Blue, and Big East basketball!

Saturday will be very telling. Things are starting to click defensively, but offense still has a ways to go.

Don't like Saturday's matchup. This team thrives on creating offense out of defense. Purdue takes care of the ball, so there will be limited opportunities for it. Still gonna be a fun day. The Crossroads Classic is a fun event, and I can't wait to head downtown for it.


They looked horrible in PK80 but the OSU comeback has seemed to jumpstart them.

Not surprising, the guy got called out pretty hard last week... :lol:
I was indifferent about the Hoyas receiving votes last week over more deserving teams, but I kinda want to see pollsters overreact if they beat Syracuse this week. Hopefully Creighton gets in soon.

40% of the League in Top 25 in the Coaches poll. Not too shabby!

so looking at 16-25 for Creighton this week-
16 Virginia 90% chance of win vs Davidson
17 Purdue 73% chance of win vs Butler
18 Notre Dame 78% chance of win vs Indiana
19 Florida St 70% chance of win vs Oklahoma St
20 Tennessee 49% chance of win vs UNC
21 Baylor 96% chance of win vs Texas Southern, 99.8% chance of win vs Savannah St
22 Florida 63% chance of win vs Clemson
23 Arizona 88% chance of win vs New Mexico
24 Texas Tech 99% chance of win vs Kennesaw St, Rice
25 Cincy 86% chance of win vs Miss St, 58% vs UCLA
teams just behind Creighton-
Oklahoma plays Wichita
Texas plays Michigan, La Tech

this will be largely a status quo week- normally this is the slowest week of the year. I think the question would be if UNC beats Tennessee would Tennessee still be up? Maybe. The one that would be bad would be if Miss St beats Cincy- as would a then 10-0 Miss St be ranked.

Creighton can't help their case in any fashion playing UMES on Friday night.

Crazy to think that prior to 2015 Nova was never ranked #1 in a national poll. In this marvelous new conference we've been ranked #1 three consecutive years. Man, are some of these conference games going to have some juice.
Go Nova!

I would love for us to go undefeated through a few games of BE play just for at least one national pundit to flip his narrative and start saying that Ewing was a genius for the schedule and that it was clearly what the team needed. Lol
