Tourney Thread - All Big East Games

[DCwarrior]

I really hat Bucky, but they sure do have a knack for turning it on come tourney time. They were better than 8 seed.

Big East not helping their reputation this tournament

Nova really misses Ochefu in a game like this with the size differential. Could Spellman have made a difference?

[Nukem2]

Bucky is really going to miss those seniors next year, especially Koenig and Hayes. Will be an entirely different team built around Happ. Can he carry them?

Nova never had enough quality post play. They were always vunerable in that regard. Omari Spellman's ineligibility was a huge blow (as was losing Phil Booth). Jenkins seemed to get lazier and lazier as the season progressed. Just thankful that Duke is in the East region.

Think Nova ran out of gas at the end of the year, Hart and Jenkins in particular.

Uncanny how similar our win over Nova was to today's rodent win. Nova up 5-7 with about 4 minutes to go and they start making bad decisions while the opponent hits some tough shots. You just know Duke is going to lose and the rodents are going to the Final Four. Sigh.

Really impressive showing by X today. If Butler can hold on in second half, it definitely salvages the day for the Big East.

I'm sitting here watching X dominate without their stud PG, drooling over the length and athleticism, thinking how good they will be next year, then remembering, we beat that same team. Twice.

Shocked by Xavier. Their freshmen (Goodin and Jones) have really improved. Hope Butler can hang on, Middle Tennessee on a bit of a run.

Seems like we have seen this playbook before and they were just fine. Sad to say, but I envy their program right now. Never thought UW would be lightyears ahead of MU, but they are.
