The Big East may have been considered weak sisters in the BCS football family, but it’s now basketball time, baby!
I’m sitting here after watching unranked Georgetown knock off undefeated No. 1 Duke, and after watching No. 12 West Virginia defeat No. 18 UCLA, after hearing that unranked St. John’s (NY) bumped off undefeated No. 9 Pittsburgh and I’m seeing No. 7 Villanova beating No. 20 Syracuse and planning to watch No. 15/17 Louisville host No. 3 Connecticut.
Let me look at that again. Hum, Numbers 3, 7, 9, 12, 15/17 and 20. That’s not bad for one conference. And then we had two unranked teams (Georgetown and St. John’s) take down the undefeated ones. (Too bad one of the undefeated teams was a Big East member.)
[Syracuse is not likely to continue in the top 25 after Monday's game against Pittsburgh. They lost to UConn the other night, they are losing to Nova today and will probably lose to the Panthers Monday night. But there are a couple of teams that could stick their nose in there at the bottom of the list.]
No wonder it was announced last week that the Big East Tournament in MSG was sold out—again.
