I think Dixon/Soriano is a matchup advantage in Nova's favor, but I get nightmares picturing Neptune coaching against Pitino. Dingle suddenly wakes up from his struggles and delivers one last Big5 FU to Nova to lead St. John's to win.

Butler has a decent chance tonight.

Come on K. At least you can still be happy that Claude went wide left the other night.

Game of the year in DC

I hear ya, I should probably sound less snobby about being 3-0 in the conference.

Butler really has an impressive group of transfers, and I think most of the guys are eligible to come back next season?

Very interesting game again in the Big East. Would be a huge win for Butler.

Well for sure we ain't getting home calls again this year, but needed to keep forcing the refs to call on the drives! But we gave away another one that was in hand. We're way more competitive, but going to need to get tougher mentally to over come games like this one. (And the last 2.) UConn made shots when they needed to to put us away... But we shot ourselves in the foot again. Tip of the hat and still hate y'all! But respect for the great teams. (Even though I hated them all!) LOL!

Butler was up seven and gave up two turnovers for layups and then another for an and-one, all in less than a minute of game time. That’s when things changed and it felt like UConn was in control from there.

1:46 left in the 2nd half, and DePaul and Georgetown are locked in a battle of "Who wants to win this game less?"

The last few minutes have threatened to set back to sport of College Basketball by decades.

Georgetown leads by 3.

[Demon22]

Georgetown holds on, 68-65. I've watched more aesthetically pleasing rock fights.

Hoyas improve to 8-7 on the season, DePaul drops to 3-11.

If you told me DePaul's over/under on victories for the season was 4.5, I'm pretty sure I'd take the under. 0-20 in conference is in play.
