Around Big East

Smith doesn't annoy me.  Triche has for years.  He is the most annoying -- more than Archdiowhatever and Lubick, although the latter has gained some steam.

Triche made us his bitch for 4 years.

Not happy with nova beating Marquette tonight.  That said, we still need to just take care of our own business.

  His team perhaps. He was always the 3rd option.

I don't agree. He plays within the team concept, but he was more than solid from day one. 

Not saying he isn't a very good college player Poison.  Just that he annoyed the s*** out of me, partially because of how well he seemed to play against us.

 I agree with that. Always was a solid player for them.  I just never looked at him as a guy that defenses needed to focus on to stop Cuse. He played with some great players and had his share of open looks. He made the most of the opportunities.

 Nova pretty much locked up a bid IMO.  Too many quality wins to keep them out. They got the job done....can we?

they have the knack for spiraling too. take care of business and they ticket is punched. question is: can they do it?

Ain't complaining about SJU;

“@AdamZagoria: Rutgers & Seton Hall are now a combined 6-24 in the Big East. SHU has lost 9 in a row & Rutgers has dropped 9 of 10.”

“@GaryParrishCBS: Otto Porter should be a top three National POY candidate. I wrote about him yesterday from the Carrier Dome. -- http://cbsprt.co/XytelQ”

Cincy scores 41 today in loss to ND. Did Lavin and Cronin attend the same "Productive Offensive Basketball" Clinic?

Cincy not really different than us IMO, except for the fact that they have more experienced players.  They rely principally on two scorers -- Kilpatrick a very good one.  When they get points from a third or fourth source, in addition to SK and CW, they are a different team.  And when one or both of those guys struggle, they are going to have problems.

Hope Buzz puts it to Cuse;

“@PaintTouches: [New to PT] #mubb-Syracuse preview: The winner is alive for a title hunt, the loser may not finish top-4. That's all: http://painttouches.com/2013/02/25/marquette-syracuse-preview-plenty-on-the-line-tonight/”

Marquette over Cuse. Buzz!! Gardner killed it with 26.

Marquette has a bunch of grown men. Really put it to Syracuse down low. Worried about them doing the same to us.

Lets hope The Hall gets one tonight against nova.

Saving grace in my mind is all 4 of their BE losses have been road games.

 Syracuse looks lost sometimes.  Never against us though.  MCW is erratic as heck. Triche isn't very good, despite Poison's claims to the contrary.

 Marquette and Georgetown are the class of the BE at the moment. Porter should be unanimous BE POY.  JT3 or Buzz for COY.  Sampson ROY

I hate Cuse too Boo but, come one, Triche can flat out play.

Gardener is going to be a handful for us, as will the quickness of Marquette's guards/wings at the top of that zone.

Marquette draws a a ton of fouls, 35 FTAs tonight. Cuse, I believe,has lost 5 of last 9 and could be caught early in NCAA tourney.

 He has been a good 4 year player for them. He isn't, nor has he ever been, a player that opponents game plan against.  He plays for a great program and has the benefit with playing with pros every year he's been there. 

 You think he plays at the next level?  I don't. Too slow and not athletic enough. 

 So, I'll take back that he isn't very good.  He's good, serviceable.  He would start for us, that's for sure.
