I feel for DePaul... they're better than 3-9... but they've lost like a bajillion 5 setters this season and a ton of close sets. They only have one senior on their roster. |

If DePaul is better than their record, Xavier is worse than theirs. well half of those were in the first two weekends for Xavier, with Carrigan hitting/setting. dont quote me, but I think Carrigan has been the primary setter for the entire BEast season. |

Xavier 42 9. Georgetown 25 Providence 25 11. Seton Hall 14 Based on that, Xavier & Seton Hall are overachiever. DePaul & Villanova are underachieving. everyone else is pretty much where they were expected to finish. |

Hey avid 2.0, and other BEast fans. Is it too early to say that both Creighton and Marquette are in? |

Hey avid 2.0, and other BEast fans. Is it too early to say that both Creighton and Marquette are in? I would be shocked if they weren’t both in. Current RPI is 11 for Marquette and 15 for Creighton and their futures are 11&12. Plus you know one of the two will most likely end up being an automatic qualifier since they are the favorites to win the BE tournament. |
