Around the Big East

[Mean Gene]

Good win by UConn over Auburn in double OT. Good win for the Big East!

UConn prevails over “Barbecue Bruce” & Auburn. Tyler Polley of UConn really can shoot and made ton of key ones today. Sanogo a load obviously.

Have to make Polley put the ball on the floor.  Absolutely can not let him catch and shoot.

 

[JohnnyFan]

Yes, we brought in height......but Sanogo will be a problem.

End of the game a UConn player was in front of the bench and they were attending to him.  Announcers didn’t notice it but the camera and directors did as they focused in on the scene.  Hurley appeared not to notice at first and we to shake Pearl’s hand and only then realized something was up.  Teammates were standing near the player. Hopefully t was nothin serious and maybe exhaustion from a great game.

UCONN looks like the best team in the conference. It pains me to say that

Seton Hall edges Cal in close one

I know ultimately it's in our best interest to have every team in the Big East win out of conference games, including UConn and Seton Hall. But man, I find it hard rooting for either of those teams to win!

I do to Room112, if we had a strong OOC schedule ourselves then it wouldn’t matter as long as we took care of our own business. But because our schedule is so weak we have to have these other teams win games and pump up the profile of the conference so this way it gives us more of a chance to strengthen our resume with wins in conference.

Iowa State just beat No. 25 Xavier 82-70 in Brooklyn

Seton Hall edges Cal in close one
 

That would have been an awful loss for the Hall.  Cal is horrible, no better than St. Francis or other mid-major cupcakes.

Iowa State just beat No. 25 Xavier 82-70 in Brooklyn

I wonder how big that crowd was.........

Watching Yukon vs. Mich. St.
Yukon looks like they are ready for conference play.

Iowa State just beat No. 25 Xavier 82-70 in Brooklyn

I wonder how big that crowd was.........

It was a doubleheader with Memphis/Va Tech and attendence less than our game vs SFC--2,800.

 

[paultzman]

Michigan State beat UConn 64-60

Look at that Atlantis field.  I don't think there is a bad team in that field.  Even if u lose early the type of games you get in the 3rd and 5th place games are actually terrific.

Reason number 10000 why SJU has to get in a exempt early tourney next year.

 

[paultzman]

UConn & VCU go to OT

 

[Mean Gene]

UConn & VCU go to OT

UConn in some foul trouble also going into OT. Some key guys with 4

 

[paultzman]

UConn closing out VCU and their staple as usual was defense (Auburn exception), which got them through OT

 

[room112]

Xavier with a nice 1 point win over Virginia Tech. 

DePaul also won earlier over Northern Kentucky and they are now 5-0. 

 

[RedStormNC]

Creighton getting spanked by SIUE in 1st half.  Down by 12, 42-30 @ the half
