Pitt is taking is with Levance Fields MOP.


St. Johns will beat G-Town, right Allen?

 

[mben32]

Pitt FTW

But looking at the alignment and the fact that a lot of those teams can beat eachother on any given night, it's hard to make a pick of whos gonna winit

I think the top 4 teams are at a disadvantage with the 2 day layoff...and i can see Georgetown or one of the 5-8 seeds making a run at winning it.

@ me still being extremely optimistic with GT.

*edit*
Syracuse is my sleeper pick.

 

[jpzx]

I have Pittsburgh winning it...Marquette is my sleeper pick though

 

[tmay407]

Georgetown got a pretty good draw for a chance to play themselves back into NCAA Tourney consideration.

 

[proshares]

Go St. John's.

 

[pharelfor3]

I like SJU in the first game and 'Cuse making a long run all the way to the tourney. Spirit of Gerry Mcnamara

 

[ehh]

Still trying to get my tickets. My sleeper pick is Nova.

 

[clutchshooter]

i said it last year and ill say it again this year.

there is nothing like some rough and tumble Big Eat basketball.

and it starts on my birthday too. i know how im spending the day.

.

 

[mez 0ne]

Poor Depaul, them dudes didn't even check into a hotel or bring their cheerleaders/band, they ready to take the flight back asap.

 

[jpzx]

How many of you have seen B.E. tournament games in person?

It sounds like that would be so

 

[fede dpt]

I'm sorry, but they should do away with those last eight scrub teams and just have a Double-Elimination with the top 8.

 

[jehlers02]

Go Marquette!

They dont got it too bad with the 5 seed.
Win one game play Villanova.
Win that game play Lousville (most likely)
Championship already.

They get to completely avoid Uconn and Pitt until the championship.
Good thing Lousville somehow got the one seed because they're definatly not better then Pitt or UConn

Hopefully, Cuse makes some noise.

Still trying to get tickets. Sucks that the school only had 60.

 

[eb4president]

If G'town can win the 1st they might have a chance to make some noise, they match up with marq and villa, nicely.

With that said, Gtown could lay an egg, figuring the way they're playing.

I really think Pitt will win it all. Im hoping for Pitt vs Villa in the finals.


no thread jack...how many teams you guys think the big east will get in? I say 7

 

[jehlers02]

^ i say 9 teams.

 

[jamesonnt]

None of the games being on TV tomorrow FTL.

 

[notoriouslar]

Even being a UConn fan, Pitt or Syracuse win this tournament

 

[jpzx]

No one thinks Louisville or 'Nova have a chance?

No $#*! them. I'm mad I'm not getting tickets to the BET.

My pick to win it is Louisville. When they're on, very few teams could beat them. Seton Hall over Syracuse

[thezephyr777]

This is my problem with inviting everyone. Less tickets, which were already harder to get. It becomes virtually impossible for a team like Marquette to get anykind of support. I just wish the sold the tickets more to students. But everything now is about $$$

As for in person. You need to go to a tourney. It is amazing. You can't beat it, NYC, so many different fans. The atmosphere is crazy in MSG.

When I got the chance it was when Ben Gordon went crazy

 

[babyfacedassassin31]

1996 Big East Tourney Final is on tommorow on ESPN classic 12.00pm

Georgetown vs Uconn

Iverson vs Ray Allen

Ive only ever seen highlights online never the whole game so im lookin forward to it luckily im in New York right now stayin with my girl so I can see it.

Alotta good college ball on ESPN Classic lately showing old rivalrys and tourney games.

Peace
Scottie

 

[jpzx]

That's on at 2PM for me..what time zone are you?

 

[al3xis]

SJU bout to get the %%$@ stomped outa them.

Pitt is winning the whole thing.

I'll be DVR'ng all of this and avoiding all communication during the day and watching in the early AM hours hopefully Wednesday AND Thursday.
