What an entertaining first half. And Blair is taking it to Thabeet right now. The kid is a beast.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Dejaun Blair so far is bitch slapping Thabeet. This mutha****a is the real deal. Thabeet is 7'3" and Blair is like 6'6". Unbelievable!

So impressed w/Blair. Going right @ Thabeet.

This game ought to quiet people who think UConn can't win the title w/o Dyson. No Dyson, Thabeet has been ineffective & in foul trouble, & UConn still takes the lead.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Well, this game is living up to expectations.

Fields is a cold-blooded assassin.

Man, that crowd got quiet.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

According to this stat tracker I'm looking at, UConn has 20 reb, Pitt 18, Blair 22.

What a play by Blair!!!!!

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

That was nasty looking. Blair going MMA on Thabeet on that play. It appears that Thabeet is ok, but damn, I thought he broke his arm.

I personally thought he should have been tossed from the game for that. How he didn't even get called for a FOUL on it is ridiculous.

What a game!

And DeJuan Blair was a man among boys out there. He made Thabeet simply ineffective the whole night.

watch the replay. He secured the ball, freed a hand to grab thabeet's wrist and pulled hard.
I suppose it's legal to flip someone over your shoulder now.

Possibly. Our season was screwed up because of recruiting mistakes (miles), ncaa clearinghouse being awful (majok) and bad luck (dyson). With calhoun refusing to play zone or going more than 7-deep, we're going to be a sweet sixteen team in the ncaa tourney at most. They're going to be completely gassed before the BE tourney even starts.

Maybe Thabeet will decide to come back for another year because it's obvious he can't handle good players, after getting owned by Blair and Monroe. Kemba was a bright spot today, but made some rookie mistakes especially with defense.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

HUGE WIN!!! Blair absolutely dominated....game 2 should be just as fun...(maybe in that game our guards will make a shot before 3 minutes left in the game).
