The Holy Land of Hoops

Nice article about the Big East from SI.

Just a warning:
Seth Davis (I know, he's not the author here) is a syracuse grad who hates the C7 and the new look big east. He has a poison pen.

Kind of like andy katz (and I know some of you refuse to admit it, but wait until some random big 10 lower level job opens up and andy lists every big east coach as the likely front runner).

Another nice summary of the Big East marathon from the NCAA.

Pretty well produced day of games too.

Two solid articles about a great & historic day.

Uh no he's a Duke grad who hates the C7 and the new look big east and has a poison pen.

Sheesh. I don't like the guy but saying he graduated from Syracuse is taking it too far.

My bad. I was thinking of pete thamel. Thamel hates the catholic 7.

You are just constantly wrong. smh

And why do you think everyone is out to get you?

I don't think everyone is out to get us. I do think their are some members of the media who have adopted anti C7 talking points. Pete Thamel, for example. Andy Katz hates the catholic 7 as well.

Some of you new guys may not be used to negative press. But it is out there.

I think there are some good writers out there too.
