There are still four ranked Big East schools in the AP Top 25, with Creighton moving up two slots to #8, Butler advancing six slots to #12, and Xavier moving up one slot to #15; Seton Hall just fell short of the Top 25. Minnesota (#24) and Kansas State (tied for #25) are ranked for the first time this week, with Indiana and Virginia Tech dropping out of the AP Top 25 (which also consisted of 26 schools last week).

Nova is taking it to Xavier right now..

[HometownHoya]

Couches are going to be burning in Morgantown.

I still can't believe Nova has become this good. It's deal with the devil level stuff. How many games have they lost on the history of the new Big East? 6? They beat a top 15 team by like 20. Sigh.

[95hoya]

Xavier had a 10 point lead too at one point I believe. Nova can turn it on and best you down. Fun to watch.

[seaweed]

Can we get rid of Grayson Allen for once and for all now? I don't expect much in the way of sportsmanship from Duke, but DAMN!!!!

I kind of wish he had the reputation he does now when we played last year in the garden. Referees knowing that probably would have given him the flagrant for shoving LJ into the basket stand. He most likely would have sat for the rest of that game where I believe he had 30..

[DanMcQ]

Agree completely about that foul against LJP - that was right in front of us.

Creighton housing Butler at the moment.

[tashoya]

Seton Hall gave Quette all it could handle too. Even if we hadn't had the start we've had, our guys can't look past anyone in our league. Have to bring it every single game.

Craytun is legit. Fun to watch, too.

UW @ Cal, Rabb v. Fultz. A recruiting thread nightmare game

[EtomicB]

Butler put up 58 2nd half points in the win over Xavier..
