The Big East Tournament Thread

Talk here about all the games.

USF is currently leading Depaul by 15 nearing halftime. Dominique Jones will not let them lose this game.

I also have UConn winning by 9

 

[Thegreatone]

Depaul wont die easy.

Staying close. USF up 12 with 5 to go.

I'm jealous that you get to watch basketball while I toil away.

USF 58
DePaul 49

USF lead wire to wire.

Dom Jones went for 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. DJ shot 50% from the field, 0-5 from 3 and 4-7 from the stripe.

Damn. Dominant.

DJ going pro after this year?

I thought I heard the announcer mention that all of USF's baskets were around the paint area. Wierd.

Uconn down 8 early. St. John is a tough draw at MSG in round 1. Everytime I look at Uconn's roster I laugh at all the talent that is there.

 

[swg]

I'm still trying to figure out if UC's problem is talent, lack of development, or both.

 

[Kingsley Court]

You cant get that T in the final minutes of the first half

 

[Thegreatone]

Uconn is in trouble. What is up with them?

 

[swg]

Suffering from 'Can't get this season over soon enough' symptoms.

Let's just say I hope it isn't contagious.

Both.

 

[swg]

It's all about degree. LOL

How good can Gates be? We may never know, or he could bring it next year. I think Wilks could be really good if he worked on his inside game and medium range shots.
Parker has a decent shot, or could be just another guy who is inconsistent, and UC has enough of those already.
So far, all we've seen is flashes, and not enough steady play.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

Uconn getting straight dominated.

StJohns up 66-44 with two minutes remaining.

Thanks for coming Uconn.

 

[Bluecat]

Uconns season reminds me a little of UC's in that they beat some real good teams, Nova, WV and Texas, but also lost to some bad teams and then collapsed at the end with 4 straight losses with their blowout "L" today. Having the coach leave the team mid year may have had a bigger effect on them than some may have thought. I will be interested to hear what comes out of their locker room.

 

[swg]

UConn isn't a basketball school, it's the Women's Basketball School.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

Seton Hall beating Providence.

107-102 w/ 22.2 seconds remaining. Providence at the line for two.

Providence was done 26 earlier in the game and down 15 points with 3 minutes remaining.

 

[Thegreatone]

Huge game today around the Big East.

USF and Georgetown.

ND and Seton Hall.

Both of these games are going to be very interesting.

I will take USF and ND.

 

[Thegreatone]

It would be good if Georgetown won this game.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

Gtown up 31-19 at half.

D. Jones has 12 of USF's 19 points. Kid is good.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

USF made a big run but Gtown answered. Gtown leading 40-31 w/ 15 remaining.
