    I have been betting on these games today. Uconn covered. st johns didn't. colorado should cover. I was out for a while and I thought I lost miami (had them laying 3). they were down 10 with 45 seconds left, so I figured the game was over. Just got back to the TV and I see they won by 7 in OT!!! Holy shit, I can't wait to see those highlights.

    I think he is referring to the infamous WWF "Montreal Screw Job" in which Bret Hart was screwed out of the WWF world heavyweight title by Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels.

    Wasn't that over Sunny banging Bret Hart ?

    From what I understand it was out of fear of Bret Hart retaining the title and not leaving it behind when he went to WCW. His contract with the WWF was up in like a month or something. He was originally intended to win the match, he didn't want to lose it to Michaels for some reason, and he said he was gonna hand it over before he left for WCW. But Vince, Michaels and a couple of the others guy including Earl Hebner, the ref, all conspired to get Hart on a fast count.

    Be careful what you wish for :D

    Always really weird for me living in Connecticut and being a Syracuse fan. My dad went to Syracuse and I have been watching SU games since I was kid. I remember them in the finals against Kentucky and being so upset when they lost. I just don't understand how you can be a fan of a college team when no one in your family or you personally didn't go to the college.I guess when you have no pro sports team like CT, what else do you have to cheer for as far as state pride goes?

    Well yeah, it's definitely a state pride thing. I'm going to Fairfield University right now, and while I root for my team in the MAAC, it's obviously not the same as the Big East.

    We got into the NIT though! :D

    Haha I don't think my Alma mater, the University of Hartford, at least on the mens side will ever get into a tournament. The women have gotten in a bunch of times and even winning their first round once, but that's about it.

    What a sad Pitt fan. This is from the comments on the Yahoo article about the game.

    http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball ... -container

    "man if pitt is this horrible, overrated, choking team all the uconn fans on this board claim them to be, that means you are only ever so slightly better than a horrible choke artist team that wont make it past 32 in the tourney according to quotes on this board. whats that make you? a team that wont make it past 16?

    NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT UCONN HAD A LOT MORE TO PLAY MORE CONSIDERING THEY ALREADY LOST ONCE BY LIKE 15 TO PITT, AND HAD 10 LOSSES DURING THE SEASON VERSUS PITT WHO HAS 4 LOSSES DURING THE SEASON, AND HAS A NO 1 STILL LOCKED UP, AS LONG AS N.D. DOESNT WIN THE TOURNEY. UGH, DUH..... keep your mouths shut. you were outplayed and down by 4-10 points almost the entire game, and got hot for about 2 minutes. you gonna bank on that happening during the tourney every game? this doesnt count. the tourney counts. and were a number 1 seed, and youll be somewhere behind us, so, mission accomplished. all that matters is the tourney, so all that matters before the tourney is what you do to get the highest seed possible. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: we'll be a 1 seed. BTW, pitt owns your @#$% the last 5 years like 9 to 3. lol. good job, now 7 more and youll be beating us in the recent series. and total score this year, we still won by like 13 between the two games. we have proven we can beat you to the point where you are helpless. you've proven you can, at, best, get beat for 17 minutes, and play 3 minutes good enough that you may be able to edge us by one shot.

    uconn fans shouldnt be talking until they can actually prove they are a better team by a walloping or in THIS ncaa tourney this year, which we will be seeded higher. 2 points guys. one rebound. you won by the blink of an eye. one rebound. if we got that. you'd be the ones crying as gibbs nails a jumper on the other end. im glad this happened, so we will be ready to not get caught off in the tourney and take lesser mortals like u-conn more seriously

    and this, for once on this board, is simply the truth. by the way, good luck if kemba breaks his leg. we still beat ranked teams while gibbs was out"

    Hmm, I am not a UCONN fan as mentioned before, but a little respect for Jim Calhoun and Co. is definitely needed. I would say to that ranter, hmmm how many NCAA championships does Pitt have?

    tough to find good announcers in sports these days. I love the crew doing these night games in the big east tourney. mcdonough and bilas are both awesome. and rafftery isn't bad (though I'd prefer just two guys doing the games). good shit.

    jeags, you betting any of these conf tourney games? I cleaned up today

    EDIT: also have musberger and knight doing big 12 games...and gus johnson on the big ten network. lots of good options

    he's terrific. I love when announcers aren't afraid to call players out when they do something wrong. and he obvioulsy knows the game inside and out.

    I can't stand guys like dick vitale that just want to tell you how great every player in the country is. his all american team consists of 200 players

    I like Bilas for the most part but he can be a bit self-righteous and a bit of a jerkoff at times.
