The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

Tournament week is here, baby! My favorite event in all of sports, nothing beats this puppy @ the Garden.

Tomorrow's games...

#16 DePaul vs #9 USF
#13 St. John's vs #12 Connecticut
#10 Seton Hall vs #15 Providence
#11 Cincinnati vs #14 Rutgers

Some craptacular games on Tuesday as usual, my predictions in bold.

My sleeper team is USF, I think they will knock of Georgetown to earn a bid to the Big Dance.

My pick to win the whole thing is Pitt, just something about that team and Dixon that I like this week.

I love the Big East tourney. I conveniently scheduled a doctor's appointment Thursday morning, and took the rest of the day off work so I could watch it.

UConn getting blown out of the Garden by a horrible Johnnies' team.

Calhoun has always gotten the program to bounce back from a rough year here and there but I fear this may be the beginning of the end of downfall of our program. We've had horrible recruiting classes the last three years and Calhoun isn't getting any younger. Our staff of assistants is a joke for a powerhouse program.

Even Calhoun has given up on this season, he's barely coaching on the sidelines. Rarely yelling, sitting for most of the first half. I wonder if Jerome Dyson will ever be welcome back to Gampel after the way his career is ending.

I'm shocked to see UConn getting worked like this.

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

Wow, after that loss I'm beginning to question whether UConn even deserves an NIT bid. This has to be an all time low point for the men's basketball program.

[ehh]

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

I don't think they'll accept an NIT bid even if they get one, Calhoun just wants this season to end.

Dyson does not deserve to wear a UConn uniform, I pray to God I never have to see him in one again.

Hopy crap. When was the last time the Redmen won a BE tourney game?

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

And Lunardi probably still has UCONN in. lol.

Seriously though, that was an embarrassment.

Actually he does not

The real Shocker of the day: Wes Johnson named Big East POY. I cannot say I really agree with this because Rautins is more valuable to the Orange than Johnson, but good for him...

Boeheim was COY but that was expected.

He didn't have us in before this.

Before the season, I could not have imagined this, even for worst case scenario. Can't believe they just quit like that.

I don't know anyone who ruined their legacy/pro prospects as much as Dyson did these last 3 games.

I think they would go to the NIT if invited, hopefully play the young guys and see if anyone from this recruiting class can play.

Lets go Hall!

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

Good first half for Seton Hall. A win tomorrow against Notre Dame should put them on the right side of the bubble.

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

3 technicals called in this game thus far...


BTW...Jerry Smith will be out for tomorrow nights game vs Cincy/Rutgers.

Re: The 2009/2010 Big East Thread

What a comeback by Providence. Down 29 at one point, down 20 with about 5 minutes to go, and now they're within 5 with 1:05 left.

Of course you would go to the NIT if invited. If your team is not very good, it would be Incredibly stupid to basically cancel practices.
