Happy with the Big East performance in the NCAA-M & NCAA-W tourney so far.

Would've love to have UConn in the second weekend in the Men's side but it is what it is.



I think Providence has a solid shot against Kansas. I wouldn't bet against the Friars.

And villanova should be the favorite against Michigan. We all remember what happened last time NOVA played Michigan in the tournament!

Shocker! Big East ref Brian O'Connell made this crap call:

How the hell did he get picked for the tournament?

Conferences represented in the Sweet 16 this season:

ACC - 3
Big12 - 3
Big East - 2
Big Ten - 2
PAC12 - 2
SEC - 1
American - 1
WCC - 1
MAAC - 1

Big10 and SEC were overrated.

Lol wow that's bad, lol.

Maybe since he screwed a Big Ten team, the guy will be put out to pasture or be sent to ref games in Turkey or something. He is so bad, wow.

I saw none of the Wisconsin loss (haha!), except James Breeding at the monitor for like 3 minutes. For all i know he's still reviewing.

Nova trailing Michigan by 3 at the half. What are the odds that both mens and womens teams are facing off against Michigan.

Creighton/Kansas got 9 million viewers and Creighton/Iowa on ABC got 1 million, great exposure for Creighton.
