2021-22 non Big East games of interest

[stever20]

Big day for MWC- they had 5 games today and only one favorite in was Air Force over Bethune-Cookman.

Now they're 4-0 with wins over Ole Miss, Oklahoma, and Creighton. Still have left UNLV with Wichita St.

Great day for them, but Colorado State was favored.

I was going off of Ken Pom, where Creighton was actually favored in.

Colorado State was favored -3 over Creighton, a 4th & 5th year player laden, very experienced team.

...and they shot 60% from the 3pt. line for the game???

can't believe what Cincy did to Illinois tonight. 71-51 beat down.

Big Ten definitely with a bad 1st 2 weeks.

In the past couple of days, a couple of the Big East's best wins lost a little of their luster.

Michigan got drubbed by Arizona - bad for Seton Hall.
Illinois got pasted by Cincy - bad for Marquette

Eh, I guarantee those are both high quality wins at the end of the year.

yeah I agree. short term, I think it did have some impact on Seton Hall as I think they jump more w/o that Arizona game. End of the day pretty meaningless, it's a guaranteed Q1 game(Michigan will be in the top 75).

Is the ACC where good programs go to die? What a mess they have down there. It seems that if you are outside the VA-NC corridor you are gonna struggle in the ACC

As long as you beat P6 competition you are good tbh. Because that P6 competition will beat down on the mid/low-majors and boost their NET/RPI which will boost your own. So those wins will always look good

So the Big East just needs to keep beating the P6. The upcoming BE-B12 Battle is huge for March
