Two veteran Big East officials are benched for blown calls in the Louisville - WVU game.

Notre Dame is absolutely destroying Pitt right now. Is it possible ND is better without Harangody?

I honestly think they are better without him. Don't get me wrong, he is a great player, but it seems when he is out there everyone relies on him to score. Not to mention he can sometimes be a black hole when he gets the ball down low, and will force up some crazy shots. Without him, the ball movement is much better, and they are more balanced. Plus, it seems they play better defense without him.

Eventually, not having him my catch up to them, but right now I think they are playing better without him than with him.

All indications point to no Kev.......and that sucks. We need this game against your boys big time. We finish off with Gtown, UConn, and Marquette and have to win 2 out of 3 just to finish off .500 in the conference. The win a couple of nights ago against Pitt was nice, but we only have 2 wins against the top 20 and 1 non-conference win against a top 100 opponent. We will probably finish the season at 19-12(8-10)

NIT here we come...again( I hate you Brey)

Where have you been hiding at Bob?

Why the hate for Brey? He pretty much put ND back on the hoops map which isn't bad considering it's a fball school.

Because after nearly a decady Brey still doesn't realize that you actually need defense and athleticism to win in the Big East (and college ball in general). Same old ND team, Brey never adjusts his recruiting strategy.

I'm stuck in crappy Big12 BBall land out here in Denver...thats where. You try and talk College basketball out here, and people look at you like you're nuts. I will tell you why the hate for Brey....

I hate coaches that look dumb founded on the sideline( because he is ) The guy recruits like he is coaching at Saint Marys women's college. His biggest recruits have been Gody ( because nobody else wanted him ) and Tory Jackson( Michigan Mr. Basketball ) and he has done squat. We have to play a certain style of ball because of his lack of recruiting well rounded players, and coaching ability. This program was back on the map with Doherty ( current SMU/former UNC coach) Matt knew how to recruit impact players. I will give Brey this....his recruiting class for next year 2 4 star, and 1 very good 3 star kid will go a long way in me relaxing on this guy. Brey recruits kids who can shoot 3's from the hot dog stand...but couldn't stop Jabba the Hut from driving the lane and penetrating.

Mike Brey....the guy who does just enough not to get fired!! He is the Dusty Baker of college basketball!!

Wasn't Chris Thomas a big recruit?

I just think it's hard to recruit kids to go to a football school which is what I think ND is. I'm not trying to justify how stagnant the program is I just realize that in the Midwest area there are so many better schools to choose from with better legacies and attention.

I don't mind ND being mediocre at all

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

I'm almost positive Chris Thomas was Doherty's signing.

Ah. I stand corrected.

As big of a Gtown fan that I am I have sadly never been to the BET. I should have went when Hibbert & Green were there.

Syracuse is continuing the tradition of Signing white kids that can shoot the three with Trevor Cooney today.

Cooney's shooting ability is what draws your attention to this rising junior. He has consistently shown himself to be one of the top marksmen in the 2011 Class. He shoots it with ultimate confidence with the ability to get on an impressive roll

Great win by Notre Dame. They might just be tournament bound.
