Pleasantly surprised to see Xavier at 4-0. The wins are not against anyone projected to have a good season, but they have won all of their games by double digits, which hasn't happened in a long long time. I am curious to see if they can be remotely competitive against Creighton on Friday, but it seems the program (picked last in the league) is finally, maybe, starting to make a little bit of progress.
Also super weird to see Nia Clark (Marquette) and Kae Satterfield (Seton Hall) from last year's team playing for other Big East teams now. Seems like that will be awkward. |
Was there ever any reliable scuttlebutt as to why they were kicked off the team at Xavier?

| Nothing that I saw anywhere. The Cincinnati media basically does not write about women's basketball unless there is some feature-y angle to it. I would think it couldn't have been that nefarious for them to end up on their feet elsewhere.

Lauren Park-Lane was brilliant today in Seton Hall's victory over Wisconsin, scoring 37 points, one shy of the Pirate single game record. She deserves more national attention.
I didn't know that former UConn player Caroline Doty is now an assistant coach at Wisconsin since 2021, after working nine years for Nike. |

Creighton winning at Xavier by only 6 to soft-open (false-open?) conference play seems relevant to the "is Xavier [wbb] becoming a thing again?" discourse

And then Marquette came along and said “hey u ugly-ass b!tch I think ur missing someone” and y’know what? maybe I am!!

Another slight middle finger from them as well, as they knocked off Miami (FL) and Maryland the past two games and re-established a pulse for a Big Dance invite, with plenty more opportunities to continue to make up ground

| I wasn’t watching- I’m sort of on a break from St. John’s until they get a coach- and I’m desperately trying to find out who said what about whose mother.

Trying to figure out how Marquette is a disgrace here as someone tweeted 😂

Villanova crushes the cherry sundae of the AAC, South Florida, 70-52, while fickle DePaul spills gravy on its shirt in a loss to CAA Towson, 64-56.
What an unpredictable season so far, all over. It's not so much parity as macroscopic Heisenberg uncertainty. |

DePaul is super puzzling this year - they beat Maryland Friday but then lost to Towson today.
Marquette beat St. Francis PA 83-40 today. All 12 players scored for MU against not so tough competition.
Maddy Siegrist scored 25 points today in Villanova's win over South Florida to go over 2,000 career points.
I see Seton Hall picked up a nice win over Georgia this weekend.
Big East play started with one game - Creighton won a closer than expected contest at Xavier on Friday. I think most teams have 2 conference games coming up this weekend. And then regular conference play will start up later in December.

| DePaul has two modes: “DEPAUL WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS (affectionate)” and “DEPAUL WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS (derogatory)”. It’s like Doug Bruno takes a sick, sadistic pleasure in confounding us.

This is a great way to describe them. I have a feeling they will look really good when they play Marquette.

Big East play got started for most teams today although Creighton and Xavier are on their 2nd BE game of the season and DePaul has yet to play a conference game this season.
The final results today were what I would have expected - only surprise to me was how big a margin there was in the Creighton-Villanova game. I'm certainly not surprised Creighton won - just surprised they won by 21 at Villanova - Maddie Siegrist's 25 points were over half of Villanova's total 46 points.
There are a couple short stretches of BE play in December for most teams - I think regular league play doesn't start until after Christmas and I know Marquete still has 3 remaining non-conference games.

| St. John's is clearly in "win back Queenie" mode after the 8-0 start they've had to the season, including being the first team to knock off Creighton

| I’m still not convinced that the school is actually investing in the program, and if they aren’t willing to spend money on Red Storm women’s basketball, why should I?

First AP ranking since 2015 for St. John's apparently. could they really finish in the top-2 in the BE this year? (considering they've already beaten one of the two BE teams ranked ahead of them once)

The composition of this team is giving me more 2006 vibes- a good team that made the tournament and put up a pretty good fight against eventual champion Maryland, but one that relied heavily on transfers and upperclassmen. The next couple of years were rough as KBA had to bring in a lot of players, and a lot of them did not stick.
By my math, there are eight players who could decide that this is their last year of basketball on a 12-player roster. The remaining four have a total of 79 minutes played and 18 points scored so far this season.

| Similar to earlier posts here, I'm curious to see how so far undefeated St. John's does in Big East play. I don't think the BE will get as many teams into the NCAA Tournament as Charlie Creme is currently predicting (6).

She’s very streaky, and her opinion of when she is at her best does not always jive with when she is at her best more objectively. She’s fearless, but that’s been leading to her calling her own number too much when she has teammates in better position. She absolutely deserves her position on the Lieberman watch list, and y’all should be paying more attention to her. It’s just that she might start to frustrate you too.
