    the college preview magazine I bought had Syracuse slotted for ninth, I found that hard to believe and even more so after seeing their performances against Cal and North Carolina. Wesley Johnson, the transfer from Iowa State, looks like a big-time player.

    Also, not including Providence's game and South Florida's game, the Big East has yet to lose a game.

    I'm just hoping that DePaul can win a conference game this season!

    Depaul is a solid team year after year....they could probably be a top dawg in another conference...but the just get buried in the Big East.


    they should be kicked out. too many teams in this conference. depaul has no business being on the same floor as a lot of these teams.
    agreed on both and they should kick out st johns too. my god do they suck. norm roberts has destroyed that program and yet he continues to coach at st. johns.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    St. John's will never be kicked out and nor should they. Northwestern is consistently bad and you don't see the Big 10 rushing to kick them out and plus the conference has other sports and St. John's is consistently good in soccer and baseball.

    watch out cuse is for real

    possibly a better team than last year-lets see if they can keep their heads and if onuaku can learn to hit a free throw

    And yes I know that St. John's squeaked by St. Bonaventure and Brown, but I'm impressed with how they handled the games in Philadelphia, especially against Temple winning a game where they shot they under 35 percent. In my book 5-0 is 5-0 especially considering where St. John's has been recently.

    Louisville lost yesterday (I'm from The Ville) but we always lose a few early games (this exact game this time last year)

    I like our chances this year, our guards can play with anyone. Defensively I'll take Preston K. over anyone in college basketball.

    Orange crush still rollin'!!! The Thursday Florida game should be a good one.

    When did the 'Cuse start playing GOOD teams this early in the season? ;) Cal, UNC, and now Florida. Playing all these top teams before the conference schedule is somewhat new.

    Interesting story about former Seton Hall player Luther Wright. If you remember him, he was on the team with Terry Dehere.

    Personally, I'm happy with St. John's against Duke over the weekend. Though the first half looked like past games in the series, I'm glad they came back a little and covered the spread.

    thats the MO for twenty five years

    get ranked then choke against a real team, or even an unranked at large bid :lol:

    but I do have to say, they looked real good against NC

    of course, that was after losing to Lemoyne

    Interesting ending in Morgantown tonight, butler hits the go-ahead jumper with 2.3 seconds remaining against Marquette. Marquette is trying the Laettner play but it was intercepted and the mascot shoots off the gun (i assume those are blanks).

    Piss poor play by Marquette, up 5 with a minute left, no excuse to lose that. Make your fn' free throws. Would have loved to have beaten that ahole and disgrace to college basketball bob thuggins.

    exciting one last night between cuse and seton hall. Wesley Johnson could be an NBA type and perhaps Hazell from Seton Hall. The thing that will be the Pirates downfall will be free throw shooting.
