Big East basketball

[MsgMills]

Not knocking U of L's program, but I do have my opinion about their programs. I'm entitled to that much. I've kept up with College ball since way back in 1969 so I do know a thing or two about College Basketball. The pre-season does not mean anything about how a team is going to do once they get into Conference play and their chances of making the big Dance. But so far the Big East has got several teams listed in the top 25..... It's hard for several of them not to be listed when they have so many teams in their conference. But once the Conference action starts the head banging will commence and just like every Conference out there. They ( The Teams ) will be beating each other up and knocking each other in and out of the Top 25.....

So without an unbiased opinion about other programs like U of L, UK and or UT...why get on a message board and hoot about your teams. You've got to be able to take the bad with the good. I'll be the first to tell you Indiana will be taking quite a few knots to their heads this year and maybe next year, before the ship is corrected and the winning ways of IU tradition is restored....

Tim's original post was talking about the conference not HIS team. We get on this site and talk about everything under the sun, after all it is a message board. You have the power Mills to not comment on a given thread. What's wrong with us discussing college basketball, good, bad or indifferent, it's just something to share thoughts about. We can take the bad, unfortunately that's all you have brought to the table so far though and I guess I just don't get it. To reiderate, (spelling), we know you hate Louisville Clyde, we get it, we got it, we understand, we oblah, we comprenda, 10/4, alright, O.K., IT'S CLEAR. Have a good day!

Well, looks like thus far the conference is living up to the hype. Last night Notre Dame defeats Texas and Syracuse defeats the defending national champions Kansas. Tonight will be an entertaining game between North Carolina and Notre Dame. I think it will be close and competitive, but the Heels just have to much talent.

I also think Carolina will come out on top but it's not gonna be easy for them. The Irish are tough, heck even the ballboys on that team can hit three's.

LOL, Harangody and McAlarney are sick from deep range. McAlarney has shot 50% or better from three point range in three of their four games and he has only taken eight two point shots.

mhall, we will have to get together for a game this year. I can usually get basketball tickets from my friend for free as long as they are not playing one of the big boys. They are pretty good seats. Second row off the floor in the closed in end zone.

Sounds good brother.

Yep, been watching ND and they are very tough! It's gonna be exciting to watch this conference this year.

Doesn't really look like the SEC has got any real fire power this year.

Two good wins for the Big East...From the looks of Syracuse and Notre Dame, U of L might be in for a Big Fight from several teams in Conference action.

As of today the Big East overall record is 57-5. Not a bad start, especially when you look at who some of the wins have been over.

A bit of a down year this year as expected in the SEC but hang in there it's gonna get better over the next few years. Alot of teams on the rise, Tenn, Ky, Florida to name a few. Conferences seem to go in cycles, you'll get the banner few years than some down turn for awhile. Kentucky has an incredible class coming next year with a big man from California that is a Kevin Garnett type player. 6'10'', can dribble down the lane with both hands. Short jump shot that's sweet, not just a dunker. Seen some clips of this kid and WOW. Suppose to be the number one prospect as a big coming in next year in the nation. Billy Clyde might be a Hooch Hound but he can recruit with the best of'em.

16 teams I wish they could cut it down to 12 it's almost like two conferences. Plus the schedules are unbalanced so an 11-5 team might not be as good as a 9-7. They are loaded but I hate to see teams like Seton Hall and St.John's at the bottom - teams that were once tradition rich have just got lost in the shuffle. The BigEast is definitely a megaconference.

That Kansas vs Syracuse game was a great one for sure. Every time I thought Kansas had it wrapped up Syrcuse would come storming back. Serioulsy that game had more runs in it than the time I drank the water in Mexico.

I wouldn't be surprised if Notre Dame beat my Tar Heels tonight. Carolina is still a little banged up and while Hansbrough will play he's still not in game shape yet.

The Big East is looking very strong this year for sure and every conference game should be a dogfight to win.

I'm still a litle upset over Harris' foul on Zeller that caused him to break his wrist and thinned Carolinas frontcourt. While it wasn't a dirty play I still think it was somewhat reckless, so I'm hoping the Cards put a whoopin on the Cats when they meet.
