11/25 Big East Games

[Coyote]

Nova was up 13, then down 8, then won it in the last minute.
ESPN also stated Michigan just list to the best of the BEast, so they should be happy ?!?

Nice comeback for Villanova in beating Michigan! Game of the year, so far. ESPN crew says the Big East continues to pour it on!

Great game and great crowd. Nova gave up a 13 point lead but pulled it out.

Emerald Coast Classic
Eastern Illinois @ #23 Creighton, 7:00

Subs play half the game, Groselle's (career) 15 is game high.

The good news is that outside of Nova, most of kthese teams are young and should be better going forward. Love the collection of well coached, well run programs. Hope for St. John's and DePaul to make the coaching changes necessary to compete with the rest of the league.

Nova will still have Arcidiacono, Ochefu, Ennis, Hart, Jenkins, Booth all returning who regularly play in the rotation. They will not be as good as this year, losing Pinkston and Hilliard, but Jay has 5-star Jalen Brunson coming in next year. Villanova will still be pretty good.

Nice block by Pinkston last night - yikes! Surprised it was not called a foul though - it wasn't, but seems like the refs instinctively call one on plays like that.

Did anyone see Beilein's comments after? He was whining because ESPN moved the tip-off back 15 minutes and his players had class at 8:00 in the morning. Umm...coach, is it ESPN's fault that you agreed to play a night game on a Tuesday in the middle of the school year? How about not scheduling games 1,000 miles away from campus when your guys have am classes the next day?

Yeah, I rolled my eyes whenI read that.

Especially since they are back in class for one day...and then have four days off. Something tells me they will be fine.
