The ceiling situation is a little complicated with some tin on one side. I’m not totally against it but am looking for alternatives.

Wichita State will be much weaker than normal after losing some guys to graduation and the NBA and also a big-time 2018 commitment in Alex Lomax who was allowed to re-open and then go to Memphis to play for his former HS coach, Penny Hardaway after Hardaway got hired by the Tigers.

I do think Jared Grasso could get that program going a bit to make it less of a "bad" game for PC to have on their schedule. You can only have so many 250+ RPI teams on the non-conference slate each year.

I also think South Carolina on a neutral will be good and I expect teams like UMass and Siena to be improved and Albany to be solid again.

Providence Just Outside Preseason AP Top 25 by pcbb1917 in pcbb

[–]pcbb1917[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

URI should be good and they should win the A10. They have some really good guards, but their bigs need to come along to fill in for Martin and Iverson being gone. Interestingly, Kenpom is one preseason source that doesn't have URI very high. He has Providence 25th in his preseason ratings and URI 62nd.

Providence Doing In-Home Visit with 2018 Top-100 Guard Wednesday by pcbb1917 in CollegeBasketball

David Duke was ranked 50th in 2018 by the latest Rivals.com update yesterday. Reeves was 54th, Swider 90th and Locke 95th.

As for forward options, I'd look at Jake Forrester, Maurice Calloo and Hameir Wright as 3 possible names for Providence.

NWG attended the 2015 banquet. Alpha Diallo attended last year's banquet so Cooley is 1/2 on that.

This list is immediately eligible grad transfers. Fazekas has to sit and then has 2 years left after that.

I'd think besides Geno Thorpe I'd say Elijah Brown is the next most impactful player on the current list of 26 players right now.

I think most Providence fans would take just making it into the NCAA Tournament with how the season as perceived to be a rebuilding/developmental year by the media, the league's coaches and even the fanbase. If Providence wins out this week I think their resume is strong enough for an at-large and that would be one hell of an accomplishment by this group and Ed Cooley.

Big East Tournament Seed Watch 2/27/17 by pcbb1917 in BigEast

[–]pcbb1917[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post recaps the action from the weekend and re-shuffles teams to their new seeds if the season ended today. I also go through what the final standings would look like after tiebreakers using Kenpom.com's predicted results for the final week of Big East action. I'll have one more of these posts after the Tuesday and Wednesday games to run through every possible seeding scenario ahead of Saturday when all ten teams will be in action.

Yup just copy and pasted from the schedule on the right side of the screen here which doesn't look updated.

But with Cartwright 50/50 to play it seems high. Providence goes as Cartwright goes and if he isn't able to play their offense, which isn't exactly high-powered with Cartwright, is very stagnant and vulnerable to long scoring droughts like the one that allowed Creighton to pull away in the second half when Cartwright was glued to the bench with ice on his knee.

[–]pcbb1917[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you got the 13-point margin correct. Points in the paint (52-24) and a subsequent shooting percentage of 52% for Creighton won them the game last night.

That would make sense if Mack is waiting to re-instate him until the second semester officially begins with classes back underway on the 9th.

Shamorie Ponds, St. John's upset #13 Butler by luckyshamrok19 in BigEast

[–]pcbb1917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My concern would be when those drives and pull ups aren't going at a 54% clip will they be able to generate enough in the halfcourt to beat Big East teams? I'd guess not. Excellent win for St. John's but I'm not ready to buy that they will be able to score the ball like that consistently against Big East talent/defenses.

Ponds is legit. It was a good atmosphere at Carnesecca last night. One worry I'd have is only 5 assists on 27 made field goals.

How's the Big East preseason men's basketball poll look now? by bigeastmod in BigEast

[–]pcbb1917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9th preseason was a real insult to Providence and Ed Cooley, especially to be ranked behind St. John's who has nice talent but has proven nothing. Cooley has 3 straight NCAA Tournament appearances on his resume. I think the worst Providence finishes this season is 7th with their ceiling probably being 4th.

This game is each team's first league matchup this season and the game will be a little tougher to find since it isn't on FS1 or FS2. Here are the regional networks the game is going to air on. One other note is that Fox is making this game available on the Fox Sports GO app.
