Big East Tournament

[rustyD]

I can\'t believe Seton Hall lost to Villanova!!


That was a huge gift to Providence College!


I\'m going on Saturday to the final... Which unfortuantely explains why I won\'t be at the Living Room.

Uncle Pete was down at the Garden for the Tournament last night.

Hey, I was there....game 1: Notre Dame vs West Virginia 65-64: Boring, sloppy game almost put me to sleep...Amazing to see WV come back to almost pull off the upset and I realllly would rather see Uconn play WV, but it didnt happen thanks Chris Thomas and his damn last second 3\'s...During the end of that game the whole providence team came and sat in front of us and Ryan Gomes was 2 seats in front of me with me with kids comin up to him for autographs and such...The guys on Providence looked at each other and chuckled when we were cursing out C. Thomas and Notre Dame...Pretty funny moment....We left 5 min. into the next game since I couldnt take sitting through a game I didnt care about and my team was playing tonight at 7....Started off more exciting than the first and ended up being a close one...Today\'s games are gonna be ser!!

BC / Syracuse is a good one today.....

Did the providence players look relaxed ?

Ohhh yeah...Ryan gomes was sitting there chewing on a straw putting numbers from one cell phone into his other one..One of the other guys was sitting talking on his 2 way pager...When they first came out, I thought they were either rappers or ballers cause of all the expensive jewerly (flashy earings) and clothes (Ryan Gomes $200 NBA leather coat and throwback jerseys) they were wearing.....

They fuc&ing piss me off.  Goddam hackers and garbage ballers.  Gomes\' play is brought down by his stupid teammates.  They make the worst decisions and execute like pot heads.

Thanks for the report.

No prob....It looks like St. Joes is going to lose its first game!!! Theyre down almost 30 with little time left those overrated hawks!! Lets correct that...Xavier beat #1 St. Joesephs 87-67!!!!

Also...Emeka Okafor has a stress fracture in his lower back that is causing the back spasms and wont decide until tonights tipoff if hes going to play or not...

[rustyD]

They won\'t play him I bet..  No need!

The bottom line is that the ST. JOHN\'S RED STORM WOULD KICK ALL YOUR ASSESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Defending NIT Champions baby. You\'re all lucky that St. John\'s didn\'t have enough wins to qualify for the Big East Tournment. Or else.

Hey realisthis, I was at MSG last night too!  Man, that Notre Dame-West Virginia game was the biggest snooze fest ever, then next thing you know the last five minutes were really good.  For the first 35 minutes I was wishing that I was at the National Dog Breeder\'s Cup, but then it got good.  The Seton Hall-Nova game was a close game, but bottom line: WHO CARES?  These are preliminary-round Big East games, where the mediocre team is the higher seed.  The Garden was less than half full and way less than half the people who even were there cared who won.  I guess part of it for me was that 1: I went to 1st and 2nd round NCAA Tourney games last year that were way better and 2: every other time I\'ve been to MSG it\'s been for Phish holiday shows and the place is going apeshit.  I\'m sure the later round games will be better, go BC.  Funny we were both there though.

Oh yeah and Saint Joe\'s...they had nothing to play for.  They\'re getting a #1 seed no matter what, so they have nothing to gain, meanwhile Xavier thinks if they win, they\'re in.  If I were Saint Joe\'s coach I would\'ve benched my top 6 players for the entire 2nd half.  Thing is though, UMass won the A-10 tourney 6 years in a row when they were a national powerhouse, why couldn\'t Saint Joe\'s do the same?  They should still get a #1 seed, but I predict they will lose in the Elite Eight.

Providence College is the most pathetic top-20 team EVER..

UConn Vs. Pittsburgh championship game 3rd year in a row!!! Pops and I just scored some tix....Its gonna be a Garden party!!!

[realisthis]

F\'ing SER game...SER....Uconn came back to win in the end...It was priceless sitting in a section filled with Pitt fans!! I put that ending up there with the Duke-Uconn 1999 NCAAA championship game...SER
