Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

I doubt 2 teeth knocked out would keep someone from playing the game.

[ehh]

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Yeah there is no way. As Trapper said earlier, Jerome Dyson lost two teeth in '06-'07 and stayed in the game.

Wow. McDonough just said UConn has the fewest fouls, not in the Big East. Not in the rankings. In the country.

I've never heard of a top team leading the nation in that catergory.

I expect him to play as well, just relaying information. He had both teeth surgically re-attached and also has a "bar"(not sure what that is) inside his mouth holding the teeth in place as they strengthen to the point of it not being needed anymore.

Like I said, I'm only relaying information.

Sorry if it sounded like I was criticizing the messenger. I was just saying it seemed highly doubtful missing teeth would keep a ballplayer out.

UConn pulling away. Lead in double digits.

Seriously. That was over the back on Thabeet?

Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. The team defense has stepped up so much since the G'Town game it's insane.

Basketball Prospectus actually came out with a great article today....

Basically, outside of Thabeet last year's team was average defensively. This year, Thabeet has maintained his performance while the rest of the team has finally upped theirs.

Dyson out for the year with torn meniscus.

Notre Dame is running Louisville out of the building.

[ehh]

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Dyson's not definitely out for the year but it's certainly not looking good. Sucks, that pretty much flushes our Nat'l Title hopes down the crapper.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

If ND can play like THIS the rest of the BE season, they can still fulfill those lofty expectations

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Congrats to Notre Dame. They could do no wrong, UofL could do no right.

Now I'll sit back and listen to everyone speak about how UofL is over-rated and this and that.

[ehh]

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Big step for ND to try and get back in to the bubble. 33 points? *** **** Louisville.
