Around Big East

What a crazy game!

Good result tonight since the Johnnies beat the Irish so we need that win to have all the more importance.

That and we get a now disheartened Louisville team in 5 days that might be drained and really letdown. Its a home game for the Cardinal though.

Not Big East, but did anyone just see the end of Wisco/ Mich?  Holy Crap

B10 has what 4 teams in Top 10 this year?
Crazy good this year.

IMO, clearly best league. Indy and Michigan could win it all, great guard play and well coached. OSU not shabby either.

Disagree with best league tag.  Looking at Yukons win over Michigan State and Marquettes solid win over Wisconsin and Georgetowns near upset of then Number 1 Indy and I think they are the most hyped league by the press but not the best. BE top to 3/4 of the way down is far more competitive.

“@SOrangeJuice: Seton Hall F Brandon Mobley and G/F Brian Oliver are both out against UConn per @JPGuerette. #shbb”

Watching the Seton Hall/UCONN game.  They are having a lot of success playing man against UCONN -- guess we couldn't because of the size differential.

Edwin is a real good player.  Anyone know if he was a big recruit?

Thanks.  I bet you a number of Big East schools wish they would have offered him.

He should have been arrested last Wednesday for throwing his elbows around like Macho Man Randy Savage.

Missing cafeteria bratwurst?

The UConn center was arrested at 5:55 a.m. Monday morning at the La Flesche Building on the Storrs campus (Hilltop apartments). He was charged with third-degree burglary, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

He was released on a $500 non-surety bond and is due in court Wednesday.

According to police Wolf was “found to be responsible in a verbal and physical dispute with another individual.”

Also, he supposedly “remained in an apartment after being asked to leave several times by a resident.”

Marquette road losses continue. Interesting article;

“@NeillOstrout: Ollie on Phil Nolan stepping up: “He’s going to have to. There’s no more waiting, no more seeing. He’s going to learn through experience."”

“@AmoreCourant: Donny Marshall was at practice, working some one on one with Phil Nolan for #UConnmen. Nolan will have to take some of wolf minutes.” Cuse game!

“@Jim Dewars: Jim Calhoun on Wolf " it's a big misunderstanding. He couldnt leave the apartment because of all the snow "

Great job by Jacobs pressuring UConn to do the right thing on Wolf matter;

Hoya blog guy has a crazy sense of humor;

“@CasualHoya: Syracuse v. UConn tonight in the Hide Your Women and Laptops Championship.”

“@NeillOstrout: Boatright beats the halftime buzzer. It's 29-24 #UConn at the break.”

A horrible uconn team beating cus 65-57 with a minute left.  Love it.  Uconn playing spoiler. I hate both these schools, but uconn isn't going anywhere.  We shouldn't have lost as bad as we did to Cuse. 

DP and ND tied in ot and I can't find game.

Napier's and Boatwright's ability to penetrate the zone won the game.  And UCONN played man versus Cuse, who had a terrible shooting night.
