The 4 opponents are a combined 17-0. 2-2 would be a good result given we're underdogs in the 2 games with lines.

'Raz, my man. Nope...2-2 is not acceptable. Especially since those 'dogs' you speak of are Marquette and Lil' Cr8n.
Can't accept anything less than 4-0 (since it seems you are counting X & Nova as given wins?). I'm good with a 2-2 outcome as long as Cr8n & Marquette win.

GTMO- I assume Xavier will be favored by around 8 points and that Nova will be underdogs by 2 points, so 3 underdogs (albeit none being major underdogs, which is why I think 2-2 would be pretty likely). I expect Xavier to win and then one of the other 3 teams to win... pretty much a toss-up given how close the lines will be.

That said, the lines thus far have been totally off for Big East teams. Personally I think 2-2 would be "acceptable" but 3-1 (or obviously 4-0) would be great. I'll be rooting hard for Lil Creighton!

KP has it 2-2. Xavier and Creighton favorites. The Creighton and Nova games basically pick'ems.

All 4 BE teams are better tested than their opponents. Gotta take 3 today.

[adoraz]

Well I nailed the Nova line, and Xavier is much better than I expected (I also thought it was neutral rather than home, but still a huge gap).

Good exposure with the Nova game being on ABC.

That's a good point. I think Purdue will be tough, but Nova has played the tougher schedule. UNC seems pretty overrated.

Yeah but at 1pm on a Sunday can't get much more obscured by football than that. Especially with the Eagles playing same time.
