FOR REAL?- It’s only two games but two exciting guards may be just the ticket to “Make Georgetown Great Again” thebigbigeastblog.wordpress.…

The test here is whether they can draw the loyal Connecticut Sun fanbase (and overcome possible resentment that the franchise wasn’t placed in Hartford or somewhere else in the Nutmeg State)
Welcome, UPSHOT Providence, the newest team to the league!
Tip Off May 2027.

Dan Hicks was one of NBC’s signature play by play voices and was excellent at letting an event speak for itself- plus having to duck and cover when he worked with Johnny Miller on golf

Is Pikiell playing more uptempo his “Rusty Millio” moment- @SopranosWorld
“We want to push the tempo and get to that number if we can.”
@RutgersMBB scored 100 points for the first time since it was still in the Atlantic 10, demolishing NJIT at home.

I’m wondering if Huss should’ve brought McAndrew or Oswin back in for the closing minutes, Credit to the backups for bringing them back, but Creighton ran out of gas down the stretch,

Maryland has talked a lot of trash going into tonight’s showdown with Georgetown in DC. How the Hoyas stand up will open a window as to where their season goes.
Maryland at Georgetown tonight.
Two historic college basketball programs meeting in November. This is the type of nonconference game I'd love to see more often.

The Mohegan Sun is a place where Providence has run into bad luck as of late- the St. Bonaventure loss two years ago and the Virginia Tech defeat in last season’s opening weekend. Huge chances to turn the tables tonight
Saturday AM thoughts on PC:
-Byrd v. Sandfort reminds me of the Minaya v. Scheierman match-up in Rd1 against SDSU. Two pros
-Big moment for Bannarbie/Aletan against a high major
-Can our PG’s facilitate and run the show against Nebraska?

Lots of buzz around what Butler did in two tuneups. Boise State sports a top 50 defense per KenPom. Big validation test for the Bulldogs tomorrow
Through their first 2 games, Butler is shooting
50.7% on FG’s
68.1% on 2P
41.4% on 3P
They’ve also assisted on 79% of their makes
What’s crazy is that Butler basically hasn’t taken a mid range shot. Almost all shots have been within 6 feet of the basket or from the perimeter

Fun history lesson- a month before Marquette made its magical NCAA run they lost to Detroit (now Detroit Mercy) who were coached by someone who went onto become an icon on the mic…@DickieV youtu.be/H1sO_3aoBUo?is=MVgL…

Craft is going to open some eyes with her shooting ability this season
ESPN's Ryan Johnston caught up with Ja'Kahla Craft after Seton Hall's 74-56 victory over Indiana State.

I’m surprised that SNY has continued this “Mets but not Mets” station philosophy as long as they have, and without adding another team (the Islanders would’ve been ideal) they should lean into more Mets centric programming
NEWS: SNY, the home of the Mets, had major layoffs today, including the cancellation of SportsNite & Baseball Night in New York, The Athletic has learned.

That is the type of game DePaul would’ve found a way to lose although there was a lot of this down the stretch at Wintrust

You won’t see many nights in @BIGEASTWBB where four teams play, three teams win, including Billi Chambers’s biggest win for @XavierWBB, and none of those winners is UConn
Lots of credit to a #ScoMon legend Rod Strickland for coaching his butt on in making it interesting for LIU against Seton Hall

PAYBACK?- Connecticut gets a shot at a small measure of revenge against the team that beat them in last April’s finals.

Give her Liberty? Five names- all female- to take over a team hoping to win one or two more titles before they break up the gang in 2028. thewidewideworldofthew.wordp…

Good job by my guy @johnstonr_ on this interview. Woodard made a statement last night for @shuwbb that she’s a force to be reckoned with
Ryan Johnston caught up with Ari Woodard after tonight's career-high 22 points in Seton Hall's victory.
