Two matches with the potential to be good this afternoon -- Middle Tennessee vs Saint John's and Kansas State vs Creighton. They do need to get it together but they won’t as long as they continue to come out with the same old game plan and line up. St. John’s is just scratching by these teams. They have better talent on their bench, but they refuse to use them. No chance in hell at Winning the Big East, not by a long shot. Disappointed to see what’s become of the St. John’s program. The school really needs to look into this. They’re so bad, their games are free and still can’t get a real crowd in the arena. Somebody do something Two teams in the Big East have a "chance of hell at winning the Big East". Creighton and Marquette. Those are also the two teams that pour the most resources into the program. If you think that the St. John's Administration should "look into this", what exactly is "this"? The fact that they're 9-4 overall in the pre-season? The fact that they've won 6 games in a row, including games against Middle Tennessee State and Boston College (two teams that have a combined record of 21-5)? Sounds like you are someone with ties to a player on the bench, thinking your DD should be playing more over someone in the starting lineup. |

Coach Jojo seems like a stubborn woman, very set in her ways. She definitely likes the big powerful Italian and European girls over the quicker American kids. But she has also shown that she can take a team to the NCAA's and seems to be well respected by her peers. St Johns also isn't going to fire someone who has been there 20 years. So this is really a moot discussion. |

BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week
Carrigan O’Reilly, Xavier, Sr., S
O’Reilly posted back-to-back triple-doubles in a 2-0 week for the Musketeers. At Miami (Ohio) on Thursday, the senior tallied 10 kills, 39 assists and 17 digs before going for 11 kills, 57 assists and 16 digs in Saturday’s win over rival Cincinnati. O’Reilly’s 57 assists were a single-match high in the BIG EAST last week and among the top five of the season. The triple-doubles were the fourth and fifth of her career.
BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week
Allison Whitten, Creighton, Sr., L
Whitten finished tied for second in the BIG EAST with 5.00 digs per set, surpassing a career milestone in the process. The senior had 21 digs in a four-set win over Kansas State on Saturday, adding three assists and a service ace. She followed that with 24 digs and seven assists in a five-set setback at RV Rice on Sunday. Both of Whitten’s digs totals ranked among the top-five in the BIG EAST last week, with the 21 ranking second in four-set matches and 24 listing fourth in five-set matches. Whitten surpassed the 2,000 career dig mark early in the fifth set against the Owls, and leads Creighton with 179 digs this season.
BIG EAST Freshman of the Week
Asli Subasili, Seton Hall, Fr., MB
In a 3-0 week for the Pirates, Subasili finished second in the BIG EAST with 1.70 blocks per set and listed third in service aces with 0.60 per set. The freshman totaled five blocks and two aces in Friday’s win over Central Connecticut, before adding four blocks in Saturday’s victory over NJIT. She wrapped up the weekend with a four-ace, seven-block showing in a four-set win over Dartmouth. Subasili’s seven blocks were the second-most in a BIG EAST match last week, as were her four aces.

Kendra Wait, Creighton, So., S – averaged 10.78 assists, 4.78 digs, 1.56 kills and 0.22 aces per set while hitting .462 in a pair of matches at the Rice Adidas Invitational II; assists mark listed second in the BIG EAST last week and digs clip ranked sixth

While it's true most years, I think it's especially important this year for Marquette and Creighton to sweep the other teams in the Big East. I'm not sure either deserve a regional host this year (or will get one), so the best chance is them taking care of business in the regular season and to the victor in the regular season and conference tourney, goes the spoils.
That said, go Jays! (Though they have not been played cleanly lately). Hopefully they figure it out before 10/14. Need another threat so teams can't sellout on Sis all the time. Even with Davis, teams only had to sell out on Sis and Davis. Hopefully Jazz's return gives them another legit threat to keep teams (a bit) more honest.
I'm not a betting man, but today 9/22. I'd bet Marquette. Ask me again after this weekend, things can and will change (not sure if better or for worse).

Creighton sweeps GT 3-0 Sis: 11k (.346) Martin: 10k (.533) Schmitt: 9k (.667) Creighton hit .374 as a team. I was impressed by Georgetown's new coach. He had his team playing with a lot of energy and celebrating every point no matter what the score was. |

I wonder what happened to Nova the last few years. They were a pretty decent team for a number of years and reliably the 3rd or 4th best team in the league for a during that time. |
