Let's go BEast. Here's betting/pulling for a 5-0 day!

The start of an absolutely gigantic 10 day stretch. Enter these exempt tournaments period probably as weak as the league has been since 2013- already had tied for worst Gavitt Games for instance.

Lots of chances to move the needle these next 10 days. Can the league take advantage?

This will be a fun group of games over the next week.

The Gavitts are 4-2 right now... each of our wins was a blowout. Each loss was a tossup under 8 minutes to play.

But I think we're past the point of worrying about having to impress national pundits. I mean, our group of coaches is very very strong, even with Jay's retirement. We're solidly and perennially in the top group of conferences.

By the way, what's the deal with the Pac-12 / SWAC agreement to play on the road at SWAC schools? Sounds cool, though risky if you get handed a loss.

Even riskier if you lose 3 of them.

Xavier getting the benefit of some sissy technicals called on Indiana or they might be getting drilled.

Holy f— what happened to GTown?

Well tonight could have gone better. Both XU and Villanova could’ve won, but didn’t. The upside is that they should both get better from here.

Big East with a horrible start to the season.
