Around Big East

I guess it is all about matchups, but UConn playing GT well in first half. Envious! Btw, Philip Nolan just scored on a nice spin play. He needs to bulk up, but has good skills.

 Georgetown having one of their offensively challenged stretches there in the 1st half. One hoop in 12 minutes?  Wow.

 If you have good/excellent guards, you always have a chance in college hoops.  I mean guys that can create their own GOOD shots whenever they want, and get in the paint off the dribble in an one on one situation.  Napier and Boatwright both have that ability, plus they are above average shooters imo.

 We really need a guard like this with this group of athletic wings.... We need Rysheed.( he is like that guys, right? )

Agree with that. Pitt up 1 v. USF in another "hard to watch" low scoring game. Too much grabbing and clutching in College hoops today, especially in BE.

Calhoun w game tying 3 for UConn! OT

GT 79 UConn 78 in double OT.

crazy ending to the uconn game.

But why is it when we play the good teams matchups never seem to favor us so we can pull the upset. Also why don't these teams have offensive lulls, bad shooting nights or sloppy play to allow us to spring the upset. 2 G'town games, Cuse, Ville, Pitt all double digit loses.

Lousy HOF matchup;
“@ESPNAndyKatz: Louisville basketball to open with Hofstra, Hartford in November Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament (Carolina in it too) http://cjky.it/WifcKp”

“@PaintTouches: Per @NDmbb, Scott Martin will miss the rest of the season. Has missed the last nine, but obviously means he won't play Saturday vs. #mubb.”

huge loss for nd.

Maybe ncaa will give him a 9th yr of eligibility.

Wasn't Anthony Mason here for 9 years?

Believe it was 10, felt like 12.

Just long enough to get a documentary on MTV's True Life...

Mase was a great guy though. I was a freshman same time he was, lived in the same dorm as him. Always said hello to me. Too bad he didn't inherit his father's bulk..

Cuse in Dome loses to L'Ville by 5. Cuse is trending down, will be early out in Tourney. Love it!

Benehan, Siva and Blackshear had a combined 2 FGs
Unreal

Can't remember triche having a worse game than he just had

UConn up 5 at half without Napier at Cincy. Hope SJU can do likewise tonight without Harrison, but doubt it. BTW, Phil Nolan is showing some game. Looks like,with some additional weight & strength, he will be a good player. Cincy shoots worse than us, well maybe! Ha!

“@PaintTouches: At half, Marquette leads 41-27. Otule with 10 to lead all scorers. Grant had 9 for ND, which shot 37 percent from the field. MU shoots 64%.”

Buzz and boys tough at home. Great coaching job this year.


“@CBSSports: No. 22 Marquette holds off No. 21 Notre Dame 72-64 - http://cbsprt.co/NDMARQ0302”

“@NeillOstrout: Cincinnati 61, #UConn 56 the final. Huskies had chances and blew them but pretty good effort w/o Napier.”
