Big East Tournament Predictions

[UofCT]

I think we beat Providence, but fall just short in a classic semi-final game against Creighton.

Creighton over Nova.

Big East gets only 3 bids. We get an 8 seed.

That's no fun

It's usually the 1st game you play in the tournament when you are a bye team that is the hardest because you are playing a hungry team who has tasted victory the previous day. The only benefit is fresh legs vs tired legs but we have all seen that theory thrown out the window in 2011. Just win, that's all, just win.

So let me get this straight, unless you say UConn will win the BE Tourney, you get negative feedback or asked to leave? Hmmmm...Reality does not live here!!

Don't be so fragile.

Just took SJU +2000 as a hedge to my UConn bet I got at +300 last week (now down to +200 on DraftKings). Rooting for that finals match-up. Would be epic. UConn wins it by 7.

You have to get by PC first, don't count your chickens...Just saying it's not going to be a walk in the park, PC did beat you by 11 without starting point guard Bynum (and you without Bouk)...

This made me laugh. I had to look up Bynum's first name. You have to expect people to laugh at you when you say something like this. Amazing that PC was able to make up for the loss of Bynum in that game. Two teams without their stars, slugging it out.

Kick rocks.

I didn’t say anything about the first round game. I said that I thought the second game would be difficult. Obviously that is assuming we make it there. Just like how PC fans on your message board are already talking about playing UConn with little mention of the DePaul game. Obviously both teams gotta win the first one. No disrespect, but it’s okay to look ahead as a fan. Not everything is a personal attack. Just fans being fans.

Personally, I don't want you to leave. I find you endlessly entertaining!

Damn you beat me to it. Willbball talking trash in the slightest manner form his Tuck outfit but gets all in a knot when someone uses back? LOL

Yea gotta feeling it’s a UConn St John’s final .. gotta get revenge there too

If St John's makes the final but looses, do they get an NCAA bid?

The thread is "predictions" not "what do you want to happen".

I think they should if this is what ends up happening, but I am not sure if they will. I think they pass the beloved “eye test” but unfortunately they have some bad losses that are really hurting their NET. Definitely a better team than their overall record suggests. Not a lot of love for the Big East this year.

I think there was a "We can make the Sweet 16" thread each of Ollie's post Calhoun players seasons.

Hopefully your prediction here has a similar outcome to the one you made in the “will we make the ncaa tournament?” thread back in January.

That's right. It says "kindly."

bynum averaging 5.8 pts on 32/13/69 splits

bouk averaging 20.2 on 47/34/80 splits

Predicting UConn wins the BET as long as DH/staff keep wearing the red pullovers. 4-0 since they went red.

Good for hype. Bad for mojo.

Very similar players imo

Dude, you’re on a UCONN message board. What’d you expect?

The good guys win. The bad guys lose. UConn gets a #4 seed in the Tourney.

Go pound sand, we will see Thusday...

I agree and said the same to PC fans about DePaul...Tournaments, especially the BE tourney, is a different animal...
