**Official 2007 Big East B'ball Thread**

Thought I'd make a thread for the conference since it's the biggest/best rather than just talk to myself in a Syracuse thread.

Couple big games tonight: SU hosting Witchita St. and Georgetown @ Duke.

Furious comeback by Cuse falls short. Hopefully bounce back vs. Ok St. next week.
Looks like G'town will blow it after leading most of the game.
Nice win by Depaul today.

I wish the Cuse would stop with these slow starts! I wish they would run a play everytime down the court and not rush down and take some stupid 3 pointer with 20 plus seconds on the shot clock.

I'm looking forward to the Big East/SEC challenge next year. That should be interesting.

[MacGuyV]

I'll try a bump for maybe some discussion for the tourney...
Two time, two time defending champs in action today: need a win to solidify ncaa birth.
Nova to tip off in 15 minutes...

Nova vs Gtown 2nd round. I wouldn't mind seeing that upset.

I'll be rooting for 'Cuse, I'd love to see UCONN gone early.

Big Dance ship it!

Nice. I'm so happy UCONN was bounced early. Did not want that magical run from the 12 seed. Now if only Nova can upset Gtown tomorrow.

'Cuse up 10 early. Could this possibly be another fantastic run in the BET for them again?

I hope they do win another game or two. Devendorf seems to be improving game by game with his play at the point, another couple games would be good for his maturation running the offense. If he makes good decisions and Nichols and Rautins shoot well, this is definitely a dangerous team come big dance time.
