Yes he did - clutch shot.  I had no emotional skin in the game and am just calling a spade a spade.  College basketball's full of horseshit calls and in this case the refs compounded screwing up a game-clinching change of possession call with a b.s. cover up.  A hose is a hose - e.g. Seton Hall getting hosed vs. Michigan (Rumeal "eats federal institution food" Robinson) in the Final Four.

Very impressed you remember that. For a long time I felt like we should have a lifetime pass for bad calls.

I did think St John's was the better team most of the game, they went cold late. In a weird way I'm happy to see them good, it's good for the league.

We're on the same page league-wise (^ in bold). Out of the box it looked like the Big East was going to be a dog this year (Hall crushed by Neb., Nova losing to Furman) but since then they look like they're not going to be all that bad.  SJU bounced back blowing out #16 Marquette - didn't see that coming.

Seton Hall came from 10 down to win at Xavier with McKnight sitting pretty much the whole second half in foul trouble. Xavier is maybe not what they've been, they lost that annoying little Marcura guy, but that's a tough place to win and it was pretty loud when they built that lead.

Butler is still decent. Surprised about their last few games.

It's wide open at the top. My Villanova Wildcats aren't nearly as good as they have been. Marquette, Seton Hall, St. John's and Villanova are all probably around the same level this year.

Another comeback that just fell short - Romero Gill's injury was the difference (off the boards).  Too bad, Hall would've been ranked after Iowa (25), Nebraska (24), Oklahoma (23), Wisconsin (22), and Marquette (16) all lost this week.

Yeah, maybe DePaul is better this year in relation to the rest of the conference. I'm ok with not being ranked right now, a 10-8 conference record and a win at MSG in March would get it to 20 wins and likely the NCAAs. Hopefully they can do better than 10-8 but you never know, I didn't think they would go 9-3 in the first leg of the season with the schedule they played.

It’s definitely true that any team can beat anyone in this conference. St. John’s has beaten Marquette twice and Villanova yet loses to DePaul and Providence twice. 

Competitiveness is fantastic but it doesn’t take away the fact the conference reeks of mediocrity and I think once they start playing other conferences, they’re gonna get stomped.

Speaking of SJU-SH, don’t the officials owe us one? That was highway robbery at its worst.

He should have never had the chance to make the shot because Figueroa saved the ball (the replay clearly showed that) and made a clean pass to Heron who was fouled and would have had 2 free throws with less than 3 seconds left with a 2-Point lead. The BE admitted they fucked up. The game would have been over.

BTW, what happened to Zion? Knicks are getting hurt before we can even fix the lottery to draft them.

the nba will not allow the knicks to get zion, all these knick fans that are penciling him in as a future knick are crazy deluded

the nba fixing lotteries every now and then is a bad secret. the whole reason why they changed up the lotto odds this year is to 'even up the odds' across the board, to: 1 - deter teams from tanking and 2 - (my own theory) make things look less suspicious when a team 'somehow' makes a crazy jump up the lotto board

how bad would it look like for the nba to have a tanking team like the knicks end up with the 1st pick after rolling out these new odds to try and prevent that very thing? it would be such a bad look for them, and one they are going to prevent at all costs.

it's likelier the league gives the knicks the lowest possible pick they can get as opposed to a top 1 - 4 pick as an example to other teams that tanking shouldn't be done and won't help anymore.
