Not a bad idea. I was wathcing the first 1/2 of the marquette game in the lodge while having lunch and had to look away. They were terrible.

Unfortunately I think your right 2knees. They're really, really starting to have to look at winning the Big east tourney to get into the Big dance right now. Maybe, Calhoun will come back off his medical leave and start kicking some a$$ and get them back into gear!
Oh well, atleast 1 of the basketball teams from Storrs is playing pretty well right now
i dont follow the women but i guess they're just steamrolling everyone.
it could be a rough number of years for the huskies. once those sanctions come down (i'm assuming they will be harsh) the recruiting will dry up. actually, i heard somewhere that since Tom Moore left, they've only gotten 2 top 100 recruits anyway. I'm assuming Kemba and i cant think of the other one.
time will tell but it doesnt look good for the future.

'nova is a decent team....but really hadn't played anyone substantial...until today
Not sure I'm too excited about my Mountaineers having to face them on Monday night after their loss today, though.
Big East is basketball central right now. Tourney should be a hoot.

Whats even more amazing is its been many many years since that last time you could find Uconn and UNC not in the top 25. The big east is all over the place i dont know who the best team is i guess you have to go with syracuse now but i dont trust them in a big spot yet. All i know is i just watched Kentucky and yes they lost a game last week but john wall will do for them what carmelo anthony did for syracuse and thats win a national championship as a freshmen.

hmmmmmm......
I couldn't make that prediction.
KY is a very good team. Likely a Final Four team. I think Syracuse, WVU, Georgetown, Villanova and maybe even Purdue are as good, if not better.
I'm admittedly big-time biased, but I feel that the game played in the Big East this season is way beyond that being played in the SEC, ACC, Big 10 or the Pac 10. The Big East refs left them play an almost playground-type game, a controlled-rumble. Refs from other conferences may not look the other way as much come NCAA tourney time, so that may wind up being a problem.

I agree a team from the big east in the tourny will be street/mental tougher than one from another conference. Whether than translates to a win i dont know

Had to have been just a little bit nervous watching the SU-Cincinnati game, huh?
I was surprised Cincy stayed in the game (hell, even led in the second half). 'cuse turned it on when it mattered and won going away.
We have Villanova tonight. I admit to being a wee bit nervous........

For sure--- just couldn't get the door closed on those guys until the last 4 minutes of the game. Our bigs were in early foul trouble which didn't help and having Wes only score 5 points made it interesting to say the least.
I'm glad you guys have Nova tonite and not us---I'm thinking they're gonna be a little pissed getting beat by Gtown---gonaa be a great game to watch tho!!
