(7) Big East Saturday Games 12/20/19

I would've been ok with 4 wins, and very happy with 5. 6 would've made it one of the best ooc day since 2013. 7 for 7 was so unrealistic I didn't even consider it.

What. A. Freaking. Day. For. This. League!! I'm psyched!! Definitely the best day the conference has had since realignment

Looking at the Ken Pom odds, it looks like this was a 0.6994% chance of going 7-0 today.

I was just about to reply that it had to be less than 1%. Good stuff!

I agree...

And frankly, not sure any conference has ever had a day like this. This is a historically good day IMO.

[MUPanther]

Boy, good happened just two week ago. MU, Georgetown and St. John's were underdogs. We were all saying, WOW what a great day!

December 7th
Marquette over Kansas State
Georgetown over SMU
Butler over Florida
Xavier over Cincinnati
St. John's over West Virginia
Creighton over Nebraska
Villanova over St. Joe's

Hey where is that Xuperman guy? Didn’t he promise that Purdue was going to knock Butler down a few notches? Yeah, not so much. They are clearly the team to beat heading into conference play.

I'm here and smiling ear to ear! Wonderful day of BEast action, but I have to say you inserting the word "promise" is nothing close to what I predicted about the dawgs in this one. My concern was that BU is kinda FLUFF and would have no answer for Purdue's size, BUT 7'3" 260 HAARMS did not play, so it's a mute point correct?

Clearly the team to beat? LOL. Yes, they look rock solid from a chemistry/coaching approach and are deserving of top 20 status based on an outstanding OOC resume, but guessing the conference slog exposes their soft underbelly and they end up unranked and mid pack BE at best.

Now, your Wildcats are a scrappy bunch and can ball with anyone on a given day, but man that was some fugly shooting numbers....no doubt this is a "live by the 3, die from the 3" team as per usual. I'm thinking some of you are a little antsy with this roster deep down, but you roasted some A1 Jayhawk today!I

SEE you on the 30th...

My man let me help you out with a few things...

1. Get on the Google machine and try to understand the difference between a “mute” point and a moot point.
2. Butler has been the conference’s best team and it’s not close. Look at any meaningful metric you want and it all points to BU. You disagreeing with that just shows that maybe you don’t know much about college BB.
3. I find it completely hilarious that, considering the shooting prowess of X, that you’d question the shooting of any other team. X 3pt%= 29%. Nova 3pt%= 38%. So yeah, we’ve got pretty good shooters so I hope we do keep shooting the 3. It has seemed to work pretty well over the past 6 seasons or so, no?

Hyper-sensitivity has a hold on you Gumby. Your brilliant roster of snipers just went 10 for FORTY ONE, and you feel it necessary to post a XU/VU % comparison in response to my "fugly" comment? Obviously you want to be confrontational regardless of the situation. Relax, you bricked THIRTY ONE 3's and STILL WON!

Same goes for your masterful rebuttal of my BU comments. I was about as complementary as anyone else regarding their OOC success. Fortunately Tucker got hot enough to offset a down game for Baldwin but Haarms not playing was essential to the W....safe to say his size would have created some problems. The coaches picked them 8th with basically the same roster for a reason, I'm thinking their soft frontcourt was a big factor. Thinking the BE grind will expose that and things shake out as expected.

BTW, Who died and left you in charge of the help desk? Direct that skill toward the other posters here who will appreciate it......AND I'll tell my spell check gremlin that you're on that job as well.
