Marquette goes over 100+ and wins easy. Here's hoping Xavier can get an SEC scalp.

wow, that's remarkable. they didn't win at all last year- they are on a 30 game losing streak(they won their last game 2 years ago- didn't make conference tourney). Looking at their schedule, they have a game with a school called Lyon in December. If they lose that game, they have 1 other game where they have a 42% chance of winning(mississippi valley st) and 1 with Alcorn St(40%). Other than that- they don't have another game where they have even a 30% chance of winning this year. Schools like that really need to get out of D1.

Great win for Xavier last night!

Is the new rules the reason for all of these high scoring games? I don`t like it.
I`d rather alittle defense too

[stever20]

I think Marquette scoring like they did was they were playing the worst team in d1 by a long shot.

I think they are trying to get some more offense into the game. I don't think anyone had a problem with like Friday night's game with Providence/BC- it was 82-78 with 70-70 end of regulation. That's pretty much right in the sweet spot. I don't think we're ever going to go back to how the games were reffed last year(fewest fouls ever).

About the X/TU game: almost no one will even remember what happened in this game come tourney time; it'll (hopefully) just be a top 50 win for X on the stat sheet.

Congrats Xavier!

I didn`t mind seeing a score say like 72-67, to me that`s perfect. But this year there are to many games in the 80s and 90s.
That BYU-Stanford game was insane 112-104. Guess college is trying to get the score similar to the nba now.

I didn`t mind not many fouls being called last year, especially in the old physical B.E. Let them bang and play. Hope this new B.E. is as physical. That was classic B.E.

I don't think we're ever going to see the old physical BE basketball ever again. Maybe it'll be a smidge more physical than other leagues- but nothing like what it had become- and that's if at all.

I think we'll see a lot of scores like what we had tonight..
73-69
78-76
90-59
88-70
75-68

avg team scoring about 75 ppg- with that average inflated a bit by Nova and Georgetown's big outputs tonight. That's not too bad at all.

I think we'll see games like last night some 67-63- but that'll be more of a floor than a norm(and even that was 40-40 2nd half). I don't think we'll see many 57-54 type games any more at all. For one, I think the offenses are going a lot more to the basket, knowing they'll get fouls called if there's a lot of contact. Well what's happening- sometimes they get to the basket even if no foul happens so more inside baskets- instead of before where there was a huge reliance on outside shooting.
