The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

You're still in Storrs, right? Plenty of rumors (granted there always have been) that Dyson is a cancer, thinks his own **** doesn't stink and to compound things is at the bar six nights a week. Any insight on that or other stuff you're hearing on campus?

Even if that stuff isn't true, Dyson is my least favorite player in UConn history. Can't stand the kid, he's a dog.

I've seen some of that on the message boards, haven't heard or seen that in real life this year.

Freshmen year was a different story. Him and Wiggins were high all the time. And I remember the night before a game sophomore year while Dyson was suspended he was at a house party getting hammered. Maybe that's ok because he wasn't playing, but you'd think he'd be a little more low key after getting suspended for drinking/weed.

One of my friends said they saw Stix take at least 2 shots at some bar in NY a few hours before the Kentucky game. Mandeldove is drunk all the time, but we already knew he was a waste of a scholarship for I guess 5 years now.

Dyson has always come off to me as really cocky. Maybe its because he's not a rah rah, vocal guy, maybe not. Loved his game and role last year as a defender and 3rd scoring option, but he has failed miserably at being "the man." Incosistent 3 point shooter, no mid range game. Can't lead the team by just putting your head down and driving into the lane.

Double bye for Pitt!

Unbelievable - I would have never imagined Pitt finishing in the top 4 in the Big East - even in early 2010.....

Ah, to be young and stupid. The fact that he was doing it doesn't really bother me all that much (not gonna get pissed over it) but how dumb are you take shots in a public place, let alone f'n NYC, before a game?

Grrrrrrr.......sorry Steelerfan but last night made the 2nd time Gibbs has broke my heart this season. I'm not a Providence fan but I was rooting hard for them last night. LOL They deserved to win that one and I feel sorry for them having not won since January.

Austin Freeman Update

Hopefully everything turns out alright.

On the BE POY front I think Scottie has it on lock. He's been consistent from day 1.

Pitt stole one yesterday. They had no business winning that game as bad as they played. They played the game with no intensity, and they are not good enough to get by that way. Stupid unforced turnovers plagued them all game.

Luckily, Ashton Gibbs came to their rescue again.

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

I think Scottie Reynolds is a lock to win the POY. If I had to name the other 5 to the first team, it would be:

Wesley Johnson
Desean Butler
Dominique Jones
Greg Monroe
Lazar Hayward

Yeah, I think it's Scottie's award to lose.

I would put Andy rautins above wes, take Andy off this team and su would probably be on the bubble right now

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

What procedure do Wesley Johnson have done to his hand? They are talking about him possibly not playing tomorrow due to this procedure, but they haven't said what it was actually.

I think oppositely. Rautins has been consistent all year but Wes is the guy teams have to account for and the one that makes them go from being good to great. I know he's slipped of late (injuries, BE comp) but he's still projected to go Top 5 for a reason.

I do not think he will undergo anykind of Surgery, but I have heard rumbles about Sitting Johnson and Kris Joseph because they are both a little banged up. Since they have the #1 seed pretty much wrapped up I like this idea.

Yea but Wes can disappear for for long stretches of the game. Rautins has been consistent and has really been the lynch pin on Defense. Rautins has easily been the best player in the Big East on Defense.

WVU's free throw shooting makes me sick.
