I am starting this thread as a place for people to discuss the other Big East teams in the Tournament. Of course, we all want to see the Big East do well (except for UCONN when they play us). It is important that the league has a good showing to validate the 11 bids it received.

So far, West Virginia looks like they slept through the alarm this morning. Their defense is sloppy, if not non-existent and their offense looks horrendous. They need to wake up and get their act together quickly.
 
Great run by WVU to end the half tied at 40. Clemson helped them by missing a few easy ones but credit West Virginia with making the 9-0 run to close out the first half. Huggins comments before halftime were classic Huggs too. When asked if they were having issues with dribble penetration or just finding the spot up shooters, Huggs replied, "How can you not find them? It's not that big of an area." Classic.
 
Im defiantly rooting for WVU here but good lord I cannot stand mazula. He plays like such a baby.

West Virginia coming down to the wire. Louisville down 4 late in the first half.

As I type this Pepper steals the ball up top twice in a row to take a 5 point lead to 9 with 1:13 to go. Huge plays for WVU.
 
Louisville up 2 with 23.8 seconds to go. Morehead with the ball. Wow, this is a close one. Preston Knowles out with a hurt foot. If he can't play, this may be it for Louisville, win or lose.
 
Morehead drains a 3!! Holy crap!! A little under 4 seconds for Louisville, down by 1. The madness has already begun!!
 
Looks like being a runner up in the BE tourney is not good for your NCAA chances. Last year GT loses to Ohio, this year Loserville says goodbye in the first round. Couldn't happen to a better fanbase. I wonder if the loser fans who showed up at FTA for the UC-Loserville game this year are still chanting C-A-R-D-S. Hahaha.
 
After looking at the replay of the final shot in the Louisville game, it looked like a good no call by the officials. They get reemed when they get it wrong. Gotta give them some props when they get a critical and tough call like that right.

Big East 1-1 so far. Pitt up 5 at halftime.
 
The Big East finishes Day 1 at 4-2.

I can't believe how poorly St. John's played. I had them losing to BYU in round 2 (Fuck the new naming system for the tournament- this was the FIRST round) but they were not sharp at all tonight.
 
The St. Johns loss was understandable. they have no answer for Gonzaga inside. Honestly I think the Louisville and Nova losses were embarrassing to the league.
 
Need Marquette to do all UC fans a favor right now.

We are all Golden Eagle fans right now!!!... Even Don't Miss Him likes Buzz Williams!!!

Amen! I was thinking the same thing. Def. need Marquette to shut down X. I was watching the 6 oclock news and they did a live feed in Cleveland and were talking to some X fans. They all said they want to play Syracuse, they have UC fans/friends at home (Cincy) who all say Xavier can't hang in the BE. Those ignorant X people are delusional, they act like the Marquette game is a gimme and they will play Syracuse, even funnier they think they will sweep their first two games. Saying majority of X fans are dummies is an understatement.
 
Speaking of ^. Marquette is looking good against a mediocre Xavier team. If it keeps up, we won't be the only BE vs BE matchup in the 3rd round.
