    is this game making anyone else sad that it's literally the last time either will be playing an epic battle in the garden in march? as for the big east choking in the tourny that's silly there are 68 teams or whatever and only 1 that wins. should we say that all the other conferences choked too because they didn't win the title?

    Come on, eastcoasters! 9 out of the 11 didn't make it to the sweet 16 last year, when the whole season leading up the that we got to hear how the Big East was the strongest conference.

    Exactly, come on. Once you get to the tourney it's all about match ups. Who thought VCU was going to shoot the lights out to get the the Final 4. I'm sure they beat a team from another conf besides The Big East.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Way to piss the game away USF, pathetic. Was really hoping for a USF/ CIN final to piss ESPN off.

    Great guy. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him for a few minutes when I was up at UConn for a summer program in high school, back in the summer of 2007. He was in Gampel watching the men's team practice, doing a 3 on 3, and I said to myself, "This may be the only chance I have of meeting and talking to him." So I did. Pretty cool moment for me.

    What a coward. Way to not face the punishment for penalties he had a part in.

    It's not even the Big East anymore. It's the Big America Conference now. You have teams from Texas and San Diego in it now.

    I'll be sad if UConn leaves the Big East.

    why would you be sad for UConn to leave a joke of a conference?

    For UConn, all I've known is the Big East. It was the best conference in college basketball, but it's not going to be anymore with all these teams leaving.

    What's a joke is the NCAA.

    sadly it's a business not a sport. I really can't blame ND, Louisville, Rutgers and others for leaving the Big East when you got teams like San Diego State and Tulane and East Carolina and others joining the conference. To me that's not the Big East just like how the ACC is no longer what it is.
