A friend just told me that Madison Square Garden will be featuring the Big East teams on their website: http://msg.com/collegehoops/ and they also want to feature the fans too.. Seems pretty cool that you can get pictured on their website just for being a fan... All you have to do is send photos proving why your team is the best to collegehoops@thegarden.com and they’ll throw it up on their site.

BIG win for nova last night in the hostile WVU coliseum

Yes....good win by 'nova last night. Everytime the Mountaineers looked ready for a run at them and the score tightened, Villanova kicked their game up a notch and kept WVU at bay.

I thought that the crowd in the Coliseum wasn't nearly as hostile as they could be. Villanova did a good job of taking the crowd out of the game. See tapes of last week's Pitt game to see the crowd at it's finsest/ worst.

Big East hoops rules!!!!

the place was not at capacity because of the snow...the announcers said that they were worried however, because classes were canceled that day and kids had more time to, um, prepare for the game

Coach Calhoun is BACK!!!!! My Huskies just might have a chance at the Tourney without having to win the Big East tourney if he can kick their butts into gear! (fingers crossed)

No doubt Calhoun is a very good coach.
No doubt UCONN has put some very good teams on the floor in years past.

Lots of doubt about the talent of the team as it is right now, though.

There's always the possibility of run through the Big East tournament to get the automatic NCAA bid. Might plan on revisiting The Garden for the NIT, though....

Thanks Doc, smack with with a dose if reality :smash: ;) :lol:

At least ONE of the UCONN hoops teams has a solid chance at making a run deep into an NCAA tourney this year :rolleyes:

Safe
calhoun comes back and the huskies had 28 points with 12 minutes left in the game against cincy. I think robinson and dyson probably cant wait for this season to end.

Thats it the Uconn Huskies mens team has frustrated me to no end look at their losses to top 10 teams all close, they play up if its a good team or down to a bad team all the time, tonites win great, watch they will blow a gasket vs rutgers and then beat west virginia over the weekend.. I flipped over to the uconn women for a minute granted that was hard to watch with the pink uniforms but at least i know ill get a great effort out of them regardless of who they are playing

Exactly! You have absolutely no clue which team will show up each night. When they're playing well, they CAN hang/beat any team in the country (without that team having to have a bad night to do so), but then there's the other games when it looks like they'd have a tough time beating a weak Division 3 team.

But UCONN wise, well it only took until Feb 15th, but they finally got a road win! :rolleyes: Their pulse is still quite weak, but they still have a pulse tourney wise ([size=-4]as long as they win out and make it to the Big East Tourney semi's[/size])

i hate to say this and i hate when this happens to other teams but if it comes down to a coin flip between say a Uconn and a Seton hall whos right there to get in the tourny the nod will go to Uconn because of the jersey and the past 20years, nobody knows who the hell Terry Dehere was for the Hall and nobody can name a player on the team now

Don't forget that while UCONN has some really sh$tty losses this year, they also have wins over teams at the time ranked #1 (Texas) and #3 ('nova) and if UCONN can play its way into a bubble team position, I'm pretty darn sure that those 2 wins will no doubt influence those on the selection committee
