Hoyas playing really well the last few games but aren't executing down the stretch. Had Xavier beat but gave up 4 point play and lost in OT. Had Providence on the ropes tonight but couldn't close the deal.

Trevon Bluiett, scored 26 points, led his team back from the brink and eventually headed home with a win. Xavier blew an 18-point lead, suddenly trailing 62-56 with 9:14 to go and playing in the electric environment of a packed Hinkle Fieldhouse, Bluiett took matters into his own hands. His 3-pointer on Xavier's next possession quickly righted his teammates and spurred a 16-6 run over the next four minutes. They blew it again in the final minute of regulation as Butler charged back from an 82-75 lead to tie it at 84 on Kamar Baldwin's 3 with 13 seconds left. What a game it was!

Yes, a very good game. Butler was hurt by Wideman fouling out which helped X'x comeback.

The 5 Big East games Tuesday and Wednesday were settled by a grand total of 17 points. The largest margin? The 98-93 overtime game between Xavier and Butler.

Love this conference and leave it at 10 teams please.

With the B1G and ACC going to 20 conference games, one has to wonder if the Big East Conference has to add a school to move to 20 games. Needless to say, power leagues going to 20, will wipe out mid major basketball.

At 11 teams and 20 games, would still have a round robin schedule.
