Creighton's fans officially has been awarded the annual douchiest fan award. Formerly the sole property of West Virginia, Creighton has it locked on day 1--though a more intelligent douche. Fortunately they will be reduced to DePaul numbers next year. Also, this was the 1st pleather-free BIG EAST Tourney I have attended.

Any hot cheerleader reports? I know its not the same without the Sun Dolls but now that MU is out we have to look at some non-basketball stuff... Photos appreciated...

[MU/Panther]

Creighton is the next Butler.

I'm not sure. They have two top 100 players coming in.

Nothing to see. One Brooke Shields look a like at Seton Hall and that is it.

Brooke at age 18 or age 48?

The young Brooke Shields.

Whoop-dee-doo. They are losing 63% of their scoring and the NCAA POY. McDermott, Wragge, Manigat, and Gibbs will all be gone. Oh, and for a team that lives by the three, those four guys account for 79.9% of their three point makes and are their top four shooters in terms of long-distance accuracy. I'm not saying they won't get back to the Dance in the coming years, but next year they are going to be good and terrible. Chatman, Brooks, and Artino will be the core of their team, and when you take away the talent around them, that's not exactly awe-inspiring.

If you think Creighton fans are D-Bags, hey New York - get ready for Duke & UNC fans!

The hillbillies of Va Tech, the nerds of Duke, the pleather wearing Louisville fans.....now that there is an interesting mix.

Can you imagine the Duke nerds and the high and mighty UNC fans' reactions when the Syracuse fans lay into them at the conference tourney? The crowd activity might be worth more to televise than the on court activity.

I can't disagree with any of that. I guess we will see.

I can't disagree with any of that. I guess we will see.

We had three top 100 players come in this past year, and none along with a lot of returing players could make up for the loss of Junior / Vander / Trent.

I have come to realize there is a huge difference in the top 5 from the rest (Parker/Wiggins/Randall, etc). Then there seems to be another group in the 6-25 range that should contribute right away. After that, depending on year, the rest of the top 100 is no lock to contribute out of the gate.

A lot of top 100 guys, like the guys at MU this year, need time to fit into big time college basketball and school.
