As I see it Dec 23
- Thread starter Halldan1
- Start date
From what little I have seen , I might flip 3 & 4 , otherwise it looks good. It might be shaping to be a battle with DP for the title of bottom feeder. Somebody must find their outside shot or Sha had better start checking out the intramural teams for a shooter. See what happens Wednesday------

Anyone who has followed SHU basketball over the years should know that no trend, good or bad, is ever permanent.
Week 3
1. UConn 4-0
Eagles nipping at their heels
2. Marquette 6-0
Impressive as all hell to date
3. Creighton 4-1
Bad loss to Nebraska at home
4. SJU 5-2
Could easily be 7-0
5. Xavier 5-0
Schedule too soft to be higher
6. Providence 5-0
Ditto
7. DePaul 6-0
Schedule Charmin thin. But they are kicking butt
8. Butler 4-1
Lots of home cooking
9. SHU 4-3
Had to win 2 of 3 down south
10. Nova 3-4
Neptune drowning underwater
11. Georgetown 4-1
They'll be 7-1 with their loss by 21 to the only halfway decent team on their schedule.

Haven’t seen enough of the teams to rank them but I would definitely agree that Marquette is in the penthouse and we are in the basement, with Nova one floor up from us.
Very helpful Joe. I'm trying to post forms of communications to enhance the board for those that enjoy talking SHU and Big East basketball.
The Big East has a great opportunity to undo some of the “damaging” losses to date during the Big East - Big 12 challenge started last night with wins by Villanova and Providence.
UConn up on Baylor by 5 midway through second half.
UConn up on Baylor by 5 midway through second half.
Week 5
1. Marquette 9-1
Hiccup at Iowa St notwithstanding.
2. SJU 7-2
Barely over the two time defending national champions.
3. UConn 7-3
Who besides Dan Hurley doesn't want to go to Hawaii?
4. Creighton 7-3
Win over Kansas now doesn't seem quite as impressive.
5. Butler 7-2
Boy oh boy the bottom of the Big East is a crap shoot for now.
6. Nova 6-4
Good week for the coach
7. Xavier 7-2
Played three decent teams and lost two. Potential to move up.
8. DePaul 7-1
Their schedule until they got destroyed by Texas Tech was the biggest joke in the country
9. Georgetown 7-2
Speaking of jokes. Georgetown has played two decent at best teams and was routed by both.
10. Providence 6-4
One decent win vs #47 BYU all year.
11. Seton Hall 5-5
Open up the 0ffense Sha!

Two of the refs that left us with something like a 2 to 1 foul disparity were big east refs.
Since Hawaii, we've beaten number 15 ranked Baylor (without Karaban) and Texas at Texas. The rumors of our demise may have been exaggerated.
Week 6
1. UConn 8-3
Back in the saddle
2. Marquette 9-2
Losing 2 of 3 drops them a spot
3. SJU 8-2
Lurking
4. Creighton 7-4
Played #8 Alabama tough on road
5. Nova 8-4
4 Ws in a row
6. Xavier 8-3
Tough loss at a good Cinn team
7. DePaul 8-2
Heady play so far for the Blue Demons
8. Georgetown 7-2
Nice win at Syracuse
9. Providence 7-5
Playing a little better
10. Butler 7-4
3 L's in a row including at home to N Dakota St
11. Seton Hall 5-6
Playing a little better but for now clearly they belong here

Big loss. Kid can’t catch a break.
I haven’t watched Xavier a ton yet but they have been a bit disappointing IMO.
Week 7
1. UConn 10-3 2-0
Marquette nipping at their heels
2. Marquette 11-2 2-0
And conversely the Pitino's are nipping at their heels
3. SJU 10-2 2-0
Almost slipped against Providence
4. Georgetown 10-2 2-0
Say what? But who else?
5. Creighton 8-5 1-1
Back on track after beating Nova
6. Nova 8-5 1-1
5 game streak over after close loss to Creighton
7. Xavier 8-5 0-2
3 tough losses in a row with injuries being a factor
8. Providence 7-6 1-1
Barely over Butler
9. Butler 7-6 0-2
5 L's in a row
10. DePaul 8-4 0-2
Now that the schedule is no longer ridiculous the real Blue Devils are rearing their ugly heads
11. Seton Hall 5-8 0-2
Watch out DePaul, SHU is lurking. LOL

Hard to know what to think about Georgetown. They really don't have quality wins, except for beating that Canadian team that was formally in the big east, which probably doesn't count as one.
