that game was hard to watch.

Amen. They didn't cheat Pitt or WVa. But they did cheat the fans. Horribly officiated game.

What you said. This game had no flow whatsoever since the whistle would blow every 30 seconds. I am a Pitt fan and this game was painful to watch.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Is there some sort of conspiracy to get Ruoff and Butler into foul trouble every single game or are those two veterans just that bad getting fouls called? It seems like they're in foul trouble every single game, even though they're experienced players. Of course, this entire WVU team fouls like crazy. It's painful.

That game was horribly officiated. The game was painful to watch as there was no flow to it as whistles were going off on just about every possession.

WVU hung around, but Pitt wore them down late as in their first meeting in Morgantown. WVU NEEDS taller and bigger players to really compete with these elite teams.

The refs were obviously paid by the whistles last night. The game was horrible and it's because the refs blew the whistle every other possession at least. The game never had any rhythm or flow because of the fouls. Pitt obviously has more quality depth than WVU and it showed last night when both teams had 2 of their top players in foul trouble throughout the night. As far as Butler's fouls go, he has a tendency to get some stupid, careless ones on defense, especially when he already has 2 or 3. He has to play smarter nad realize how the game is being officiated, good or bad.

Villanova's 25-game winning streak at the Pavilion is on the line tonight as they face Marquette. Should be a great game and I'm gonna be there!

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Gonna be there? I'm already here!

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Ah, the "No one over 6'8 allowed" game, should be a good one.

West Virginia would fit in well, too.

This Marquette/Villanova game is the complete opposite of last night's WVa/Pitt game. Real entertaining.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

What's wrong with Philly fans? They hate Donovan McNabb, they think Cole Hammels is Jesus, and they chant "overrated" to the other team when they've scored over 100 points? Have some class.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Nova again scores 102 points and beats Marquette. Marquette was on fire from 3 in the first half, but they couldn't keep it up the whole game while Nova just got better. Dwayne Anderson for Nova had to leave early in the 2nd half with an ankle injury... hopefully he's alright because he's been a big boost to the team the last few games.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

UofL's game @ South Bend tomorrow night just went up a level in the importance department for the Cards. With Marquette losing last night, a win will keep us one game up and in 2nd place. Good news as we try to stay in the Top 4 and get the double bye come Big East tourney time.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Jimmy Bohiem is trying to butter us up before tonight's game, a little mental game perhaps?

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim joined the show before his team takes on Connecticut on Wednesday night. Here are some of Boeheim's takes ...
--
Dan mentioned Boeheim was taking a break from watching film for his upcoming game against Connecticut. Boeheim said he had already stopped because the film of the Huskies was just too scary. Boeheim called Connecticut's Hasheem Thabeet "the best shot-blocker I've seen in the Big East." Better than Dikembe Mutombo.

The game is at Gampel, combined with the fact that Cuse has proved dreadful on the road this year I'm expecting a win but who knows, Cuse always brings their A game against us.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

man I dislike Boeheim, but I'll be pulling for 'Cuse tonight. Go Orange!

Both T-Will and Samardo Samuels are "questionable" for tomorrow night's game @ Notre Dame.

Samardo is still recovering from having two teeth knocked out Sunday vs St.John's and T-Will is still nursing an injured wrist.
