Musketeer Madness

1st game under way.
PC against Butler.
While I respect BU (actually more so Brad Stevens) for getting to back to back F4's, I hope they lose.
Can't stand their holier than thou fan base.

And with 12 left in the game PC is up 21 points.

Team records since the new BE in the BET - last 5 years.

1) Nova 11 -2 Has won the BET 3 times
2) PC 7-4 Won the BET the first year
3) Seton Hall 6-4 Won the BET once
4) X - 7-5 Got to the finals once
5) Creighton 5-5
6) Marquette 3-5
7) Gtown 2-5
8) SJU 2-5
9) Butler 1-5
10) Depaul 1-5

Creighton and X have played twice in the BET
Creighton has won both times.
In 2014 - 86-78
In 2017 - 75-72

PC spanks Butler 80-57.
Butler is now 1-6 in the BET over the last 6 years.
Pretty disappointing year for them as they were projected by KenPom to be 3rd in the BE.
As Ed Cooley is now 8-4 in the new BET - 2nd only to Nova.

SJU knocked off DePaul and gets Marquette tonight.
DePaul is now 1-6 in BET play over the last 6 years.
But they ended their 6 year streak of losing 20 games or more.
And had they had 1st non-losing season in 12 years.
The future is bright for DePaul Sarcastic.

Nova has a 6 pt lead with about 7 minutes left.

Nova look tough at the end and will lay X tomorrow. Need a Nova roadkill tomorrow. Jones needs to play better and Zach needs to play as well as he played today. KC was a nice surprise again and hope he is pumped playing in front of family.

Marquette gets up off the mat and pummels SJU
And Seton Hall has doubled up Gtown in the 1H.
Looks like the first 4 seeds will play in the semi's

i get that SHU is playing well and Myles Powell is a stud, but cmon, G-town. really? that's just inexcusable.

on a day where i thought there was a decent chance that all the lower seeds could actually pull the "upset", NONE OF THEM did.

which is fine.

not sure on SJU's status for NCAA now either. they're gonna be sweatin' on Sunday, for sure.
