      The WVU women took care of business against Pitt. It's always good to see them take down Pittsburgh. Hopefully, the men can follow suit.

      The WVU women look to have a really good team this year. Of course, they'll get absolutely pulverized by UConn and have no chance at a Big East Title, but they should get into the NCAA Tournament easily this year.

        Another Big Game for SU tonight on the road against the Fighting drunk ethnic people of Ireland. I did say that If SU went 2-1 with this road trip I would be happy, But I will not be happy if they lose tonight.

        Lately, Syracuse has done something that great teams do, They are finding ways to win. Against WVU, Wes Johnson did not play very good but but Freshmen Brandon Triche stepped up and scored a game high 16 pts.

          Doug Gottleib is a idiot. He was saying that because of Syracuse's Reliance on the zone, that is keeping them from being an Elite team, Also a team like Texas would shoot through the zone. Someone inform Gottleib that the Zone Syracuse plays is a zone with M2M Principles, which appearently works because on the season, teams are shooting below 35% from the field.

              Gottleib is an idiot. When I saw he was going to be on SC this morning discussing the SU-ND game, I immediately switched channels. Glad I did b/c I would've been furious. He really has no clue what he is talking about.

              Ask many people that have been following college hoops for a while and they'll tell you that this year's SU team is one of the better ones defensively because of how active they are and because of how well they rebound on the defensive end.

              Great win last night on the road, too. ND is a good team but SU just reached back and found an extra gear in the final 8 minutes to put it away. Really liking how this team has come together.

                Any coach over the age of 60 would need medical leave after watching and coaching this team over the last month. It's hard to watch for fans lol, can't imagine what it's like for Calhoun.

                    Big game between Georgetown and Pitt tonight. Wonder why it's only on ESPNU and not on ESPN. The world would rather see a crappy North Carolina team play an average Wake Forest team? C'mon....

                      They switched broadcasting crews for it but otherwise I agree.

                          Yeah, his normally flat shot was extra flat tonight but Clark did a good job of making him work. Gilbert Brown played well for Pitt but Chris Wright played great. He was trailing on 1 play and hit a pullup 3 while stopping on a dime. That stretch in the 1st half where gtown went zone hurt 'em again but they are much tougher mentally than last yr. Rutgers next followed by @ Cuse and home to Duke. Ouch

                            Next week is going to be VERY TOUGH for the Hoyas. Syracuse is obviously a very good team especially at home. I went to the game last year at the Dome and it was a great game.

                            I'm not totally sold on Duke yet, the teams they lost to aren't all that good, Wisconsin (average team), Georgia Tech (above average), NC State (not good). We'll see how good they are when they face a better-than-last-year Hoyas' team. I'd like to see what Jon Scheyer does against a defensively sound Chris Wright and Jason Clark. I don't think he's played against a good defensive PG yet.

                              I really hope you were not in the Student section, as I recall the Syracuse fans were acting like Philadelphia fans.

                                Yeah, you get an F for that ignorant post.

                                Anyway, 'Nova continues to roll with a win over Rutgers. Gotta love this squad.
