This league is just incredibly entertaining to watch continue to grow. Every year, there are individuals - posters here, national commentators, rival broadcast channels, etc. - that continue to proclaim that the Big East has reached its highest point, and it is inevitable that the league will take steps back. Not only has that not happened, but it continues to challenge to be the very best basketball conference in the country.
I look forward to the day that Marquette returns to its top-form and can challenge for a Big East Championship. Until then, however, I will continue to root for our top teams that represent our league with class, competitiveness and talent that is as good (and better) than anyone else in the country.
Friars, keep your head up. I would not want to play you guys in any round of any tournament. You will not be an easy out at all.

When I realized they hadn’t, I moved into anger, reliving the no-call on the mugging of Diallo, with Nova being given the ball as the refs added insult to injury. And I’m a guy who preaches don’t complain about the refs, but that play was a game changer at that point. I’m mad that Lindsey choked in the biggest game of his life. I wish that Cooley had given more minutes to Watson who seems to be able to score at will inside. They especially could have used him late when baskets were so hard to come by.
It was a great game, fitting for a Big East Final. Both teams played tough, tough, tough. But, man, it really hurts.

Go Friars!
After today my BE hat gets put back on. Cheerleading in the dance.

He is bad in general, but makes obvious out of position calls and inserts himself in games all the time! He does it both ways and it's luck of the drawl if it helps or hurts you! (It always feels like it's at the worst time when he does it to you!)
