Nova loss obviously not good for big east. I won't get my hopes up unless creighton goes down.

Whi cares about the BE at this point?? The top half of the bracket just became WIDE open for MU. No one left should scare or intimidate MU. Now if DePaul can pull the biggest upset in college BB history tonight, and MU does it's part....WOW. Imagine the possibilities.

This is when I start caring about the other teams in our conference. I want to see them do well in the Dance. Having said that, I was rooting for SH because it might make things easier for Marquette.

I agree with this and I do not see this loss as hurting Nova much. They were not going to be a 1 seed, IMHO, so it should not be a killer. Other top dogs will be upset this weekend as well. It happens.

Could be good for the Big East. Villanova as #1 seed would have been good PR for conference, but this could open up the opportunity for another Big East team to get into NCAA tourney. If St. John's or Providence get to championship game, that could put them in.

I'm happy that nova lost as it increases the chances of marq making the tourney (although still very slim).

As far as not caring about the success of the big east conf, I'm not going to go down that road with you again and I'll leave it at that.

Good point as I didnt think of it from that angle!

Not just that, but having a buzzer beater that is currently featured on the Deadspin top story, is good for the Big East. Nice big crowd...which will be big tomorrow too with a local team playing.

And UW just wrapped up the 1 seed unless they lose tomorrow

Not true... a few other teams might still have a chance IMO

Michigan would have a hell of a case if they win both the Big 10 regular season and Tournament title

Louisville if they run the table might also have a chance

Kansas has 8 losses but if they win both Big 12 titles to go along with the toughest schedule in the country and currently #3 RPI?

UW lost any chance they had at a #1 when they lost to Nebraska.

All things being equal (say either of them were to beat Hall and lose to Creighton) who has a better chance of getting an at large: STJ or Prov?

Palm has UW as the last #1 as of now......http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology

No Lithgow sightings yet. However. 50 Cent is in the house.

I would still have 'Nova ahead of Wisconsin. The Wildcats have 4 total losses and only one outside the top-15 RPI. Wisconsin has 5 losses worse than that. In addition, these games always mean less than people think.

Bad loss, but a neutral court bad loss not as bad as losing to Northwestern at home. And Wisconsin's next 4 worse losses are all worse than 'Nova's next worse.

Thanks for the info. I would agree.

And man...if DePaul knocks off Creighton (they were down 1 with 5:00 or so to play in Omaha) I'll be terrified going into the Xavier game. This couldn't be lining up better.

I would almost assume that if DePaul beats Creighton that we will lose. It would just be too good to be true. :)

Providence has to beat Seton Hall and avoid a bad loss to Seton Hall. Villanova didn't help things for PC.

Pinkston tries to hit Teague with his elbow, then puts out one of the worst flops I have seen.

Teague gets elbowed in the face then avoids the flop and gets a T? What is the world coming to?

I didn't watch the game, but you can't be correct. The official was Pat Driscoll. There is no way he calls a T. It had to be a double T.

Funny. A well earned reputation for Mr. Driscoll.

I think they waived off the T after looking at the monitor, didn't they?

In looking at the reply on ESPN just now, didn't Gibbs winner remind you of Kemba Walker? Gibbs did a great job of creating space.

I don't think parity will do the league in from # of BE participants perspective - I think it was a combination of 2 things - collectively, not a very challenging OOC schedule and not winning nearly enough of the OOC games that were challenging. MU was a key offender in not beating any of the heavies on their OOC schedule and Seton was an example of a crappy OOC schedule.

In '11 both MU and UCONN were examples of parity in the BE - both making it at 9-9 and 2 of 11 BE teams to make the tourney, but they collected enough pelts in their OOC play. Wasn't UCONN almost unbeaten against non-BE teams that year or at least real close to it?

Conclusion - schedule a studly OOC slate and win a good chunk of them and things should work themselves out.

At the inception of the original BE way back, they held each other accountable to schedule aggressively - I hope that is the case this next season.

It actually was a double technical. They assessed one to Pinkston for the elbow and one to Teague for, I don't know, maybe not catching Pinkston when he literally threw himself to the floor?

And both T's were definitely assessed. The announcers talked about how they had no idea what Teague could have been called for and wondered why they couldn't wave it off.
