Big East Basketball thread

Saw this on Facebook, from the Big East Conference's page:

"BIG EAST men's basketball teams now a combined 19-0 this season with Cincinnati leading by 21 at halftime against Alabama State. St. John's, Louisville and Pittsburgh picked up wins earlier Sunday."

I figure they remain that way through Monday. I see the following games as possible Big East losses:

11-15 - Rutgers @ Miami (FL)
11-17 - Arizona @ St. John's
11-21 - Notre Dame @ Missouri
11-21 - Georgetown vs. Kansas
11-24 - Minnesota vs. DePaul
11-30 - Notre Dame @ Gonzaga

Plus there could be losses by Big East teams in the Maui and the preseason NIT.

Could points. I wonder if that Arizona/St. John's game will be on ESPN. Or the Georgetown/Kansas game.

I think they both will be. I seem to remember that some form of ESPN shows them.

Oops. Made a typo. GOOD*. We can probably check on ESPN's site if they'll be on there.

My cousin describes Andre Drummond as a "unique one of a kind specimen who dominates more and more". The kid is an absolute beast and is fun to watch. Him and Ryan Boatright are exciting freshman to watch this year. Can't wait for Big East play to begin.

Cuse! This could be a fun year. 2003 I was in Albany and that shit was bonkers when they won. I'm expecting much of the same this year. This team is good

Going to be a fun team to watch. I might head up to the main UConn campus in Storrs for the College Gameday game on February 25th. Campus is going to be nuts that day. I hope the UConn-Syracuse rivalry continues when Syracuse leaves.

Who else is pumped for conference play???

This is when college ball gets great.

i got nova/marquette tix for xmas.

hopefully these young cats show some improvement between now and then.

[Newch91]

That should be a fun game.

Notre Dame beat Pitt tonight. Just another typical game in the Big East.

I'm looking forward to seeing how UConn does against Big East teams. Thursday's game against Fairfield was getting ready to give me a heart attack. Had pretty good seats for that game.

[The Juggler]

i love seeing pitt lose

Watch out for my DePaul Blue Demons. 9-3.....we already have more wins than all of last season! We couldn't get any worse....we'll see how conference play goes.
