Big East Semi-Finals 3/9/18

[Bill Marsh]

That was a hell of a comeback. Providence hit some tough shots to make it possible, especially Cartwright, while Xavier couldn't find the bottom of the net (including the layup at the end of regulation, wow). Such a tough team.

How about Watson?

Congrats to the Friars on a well deserved win. As an X fan, that one really stings, and hopefully we can still grab a #1 seed. As a HUGE supporter of our beloved Big East Conference, and all of her teams, hopefully that win bumps the Friars into a more favorable seed (preferably not an 8/9 )

can this please get them off the 10-11 line

It should, but do you really want to be on the 8-9 line?

No doubt. This puts them in 7-8 territory.

considering where most folks had them, they're probably now on the 8-9 line. Their resume still has a lot of warts on it. To really get out of the soup, they'd need a win tomorrow over Nova to get onto the 6 line I think....

Butler is playing very bad and Nova is playing very well... Not good for the Dawgs!

I thought jay was going to put in the Nova walkons about five minutes into the game.

We might need to try ours at this rate...

+1

Great effort and win by Providence.

Great game Nova, wish we would have at least played an ok game to make it interesting... Go win it all and keep playing that well!

They will, as Duke lost tonight, and honestly I am not sure if Kansas has the resume to overtake Xavier. But IMO this locks up Nova vs. Duke in the east region. I'm not too happy about this.
