From MSG

[MU/Panther]

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.

[IWB]

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.

A great degree of parity in this league. Which could cost in terms of NCAA bids...?

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.
