The team has been more competitive in league games, including two close losses on the road (one in OT, and another by four points), but is still only 1-6 in the league so far.

Neal's record in Big East play dating back to the beginning of the 2017-18 season is now 8-35. Again, I understand he inherited a total mess, but this is year six. I also understand the team is very young, but, again, this is year six.
