Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

It's been almost a week to post a game thread. One game on this date already postponed today.. Let's hope we get the two others to play.


DePaul @ Butler, 5:00, FS1 - Wayne Randazzo, Dickey Simpkins
Line: DePaul -1.5/132

15 Seton Hall @ 21 Providence, 7:00, FS1 - John Fanta, Donny Marshall
Line: Providence -1

Temple @ 22 Villanova on FS1 is postponed.

Marquette @ St. John's on CBSSN is postponed.

big game for DePaul if they want to make the tourney. Butler one of the easier opponents in the league and so if you're going to get a road win, this is one of the better shots. A loss and it's if they're lucky a Q2 loss.

I would kind of be shocked to see DePaul win, but I am also kind of rooting for it to happen.

Intriguing Hall-PC game that unfortunately lost quite a bit of hype due to the covid layoffs. They were both pretty underrated pre-season, not getting nearly the hype the Nova, UConn and X did, but they both looked as good as anyone in the league in OOC play and look to this point like legimiate BE Championship contenders. Should be a good game.

Let's hope so, but I fear that it will be a grinder and the first team to 40 points wins.

Oh I mean good as in competitive. With SHU on a 16 day layoff and PC on a 10 day layoff, I have no expectations of a well played game lol.

It will be great seeing Big East hoops back tonight!

This apparently will be the first time Providence and Seton Hall play each other while both ranked...that's actually incredible.

from Rothstein-
DePaul's Javan Johnson has been cleared by the NCAA and is eligible to play today against Butler, per a school spokesman.

Transfer from Iowa State.

Averaged 9.7 PPG last season.

Yup Nze back Butler is no longer a great chance to get a road win...
