The Big East is no different then it was 3 or 4 days ago, or for that matter 3 or 4 weeks ago. It seemed half this board was ready to crown Creighton last night, now Nova is the favor of the day. Relax Creighton is still really damn good, Butler isn't missing Stevens it seems, Providence is a definite tourney team, Marquette and Georgetown are Marquette and Georgetown they are more than fine. Xavier is very dangerous and lurking, and St. John's is still ridiculously talented.
I still think 6 teams are making the tourney out of this league, that's why everyone is bitching about being predicted to finish anything lower than 3rd. This league is that good, one win or loss in November isn't changing much. Now if someone goes into a prolonged funk that's different. As much as I like to give some people a hard time, there isn't a program in this league that isn't capable of being a threat to make the 2nd weekend of the dance.
With all the losses we've picked up OOC even already- and with some of the tougher OOC games to come even- it's going to be hard for a 6th place team to get into the tourney. I just don't know if a 9-9 team makes the tourney. That's why the OOC matters so much- pretty much for some teams to have any shot making it if they go 9-9- they can't lose the rest of OOC. 8-10 I just don't see getting in.
And 3-11 in RPI top 50- that's a real number. Good leagues don't do that. And- really only 1 of Seton Hall's losses are one's that are in top 50 now that won't be later. The other 10 are ones that should stick. And 1 of our wins won't be- Seton Hall over Kent St.

You and me both... Was drinking a couple Big Black Voodoo Daddy's throughout the game to calm my nerves and by the end I was screaming one second, pounding it down the next. My wife kept asking me why I was yelling at the TV at the top of my lungs. Great night! Jay is the man.

Refs hate us. Name one team in the conference they hate more.
As a side note…if any Johnnies fans here are on Redmen.com can you please laugh at them for me? We are about to be down by 20 to PSU
