~*~*~ Official 2008/9 Big East Hoops Thread ~*~*~

three number 1 seeds from the same conference

first time in history

Looks like the beast is backing up the talk as the best conf

with the exception of WVU (one of the worst hits I took so far)

of course WVU and Marquette both played without a key guard

what's Wake's excuse?

Wvu completely shit the bed. Let's be honest though, they were one of the younger teams in the tourny. This shot happens when you are playing so many kids. They really missed joe Alexander, if he didn't go pro they could have been a ff team. Huggins is bringing in a top notch class so the program isn't going anywhere

the CUSE will be champions,like i said before.
Almost everyone counted them out after the draining B.East tourney...but they doin great so far (and not even playin at their peak yet).

Syracuse will beat Oklahoma, but end up losing to UNC.

what happened to that loser who claimed the acc was better then the beast?

Just don't count out UCONN yet...They have been playing well and if AJ,Robinson,and Thabeet continue to play well they could go the distance...

got to agree with you king WVU did shit the bed big time Ruawful was MIA and i dont think Butler was ever the same when he dropped 43 on Nova this team was frustrating as hell to watch at times this season but the future does look bright

Fucking Joe Alexander would have had us in Detroit in 2 weeks.

yes he would have how is he doing with the bucks king do you know?

Just heard that Flynn will be back next year

Add Scoop and Mookie back from injury and Triche coming in, SU's backcourt will loaded next year

really? is that official word...?
thats fukin great. (altho,hope for his sake..he only gets better next year,cause his stock is zooming up day by day now)

Nothing impressive, he has played in 48 games averaging bout 11 min in those games.

according to espn radio this afternoon

good shit good shit bro

If Marcus Ginyard was healthy, if Tyler Zeller never got hurt, if Graves didn't get suspended the Tourney would be over already as no one would have been able to play w/ the Heels- oh and Brandan Wright should only be a Junior right now. Every team can play the what if game.

That happens every year, guys will say they are coming back but ultimately wind up leaving. You won't feel comfortable until the deadline passes. If he does SU will have a top 5 or so team which will help you feel better after not making the Final Four this year

Nobody in this thread gives a shit about the tarheels. Ever seen the NC Tarheel thread? Every team can not play the what if game and get themself to the final four.

So what happened to the ACC being better then the Beast? Guess they arent "the real deal" either

Bad Tourneys happen, the BE should know that as they have had bad tourneys alot more than good tourneys the last 20 years.

Keep in mind the job isn't done. They still have alot of work to do this weekend. Will we see the usually zero teams from the BE in the FF? or will they continue winning? We'll see. How is your team doing? You are always good at latching on to other winning teams after your crappy teams lose.

Bad tournys do happen but that wasn't the case. Truth is the acc was and is overrated. Of course the opposite of your almost full season argument.

List one time I latched onto a winner. This should be good mr real deal

ughh..how great would a Cuse/UNC showdown be ..

With the Big East as good as it is and will be for some time....my Pirates have a lot of catching up to do. Maybe we should hire PJ Carlisimo back......he's due for a good choke

You seem to follow all the BE fans when WVU is done, you latch onto the Sox and Pats when the Mets and Dolphins are done. I don't know who you follow in the NBA and NHL but you always latch onto other teams after your teams fail.

I follow all the BE teams because I am a BE fan. I also follow every team in baseball because I am a fan of the game.

Saying I latch onto the Sox and Pats is almost as crazy as you calling Kellen Clemens "the real deal". Show me one post I made where I latched on to ANY team with a rooting interest. Guarantee you deflect and cant back up your stupid statement.
