if Depaul regains 50% of their former glory with the Chicago market in tow nobody will even remember Pitt.

Part of me wanted Pitt to win, thinking that a healthy Pitt is good for the Big East. But since they're leaving for the ACC in a few years... screw 'em. Nice win, DePaul. Interesting that Blue Demon fans stormed the court, but after what they've been through the past few years, I don't blame them. Really? Who the hell cares about pitt, especially now that they're an ACC team. I'd much rather see DePaul be decent at least. As for the court storming, not surprised at all considering they had won something like 3 Big East games in the last 2 years and pitt has been one of the best teams in the conference for a while. Plus, they won in pretty dramatic fashion. Remember when we stormed the court in 04-05 after beating an unranked Notre Dame team? Screw court storming etiquette, people just need to have fun sometimes, and it's been a while for DePaul fans.

USF is going to take down Nova @nova. USF also had their PG out the whole 2nd half due to a concussion, and still ran away with this. Nova is putrid on offense.

Nova sucks, deleted (no offense Jabril, please don't kill me)

USF won by 17 @ Nova. Nova isn't even .500. Wow epically bad basketball from the state of Pennsylvania this year. I love it!

I have a lot harder time rooting against Nova with the BE turmoil. I know it's sacrilege, but I kind of want all the basketball only schools to be as strong as possible, even when that includes Nova. This is how bad college football is--it's making me temper my hate for Nova.

Re Pitt: Tee hee. Giggle, giggle. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Couldn't happen to a more deserving school. Maybe the school deserves it but I feel bad for its coach. Dixon seems like a classy guy.

Hmmm...from what I've heard from the various plugged in to recruiting posters, he's the worst negative recruiter (especially against Georgetown) there is. If someone else can confirm this / tell me I'm wrong, feel free.

No you're right Dixon is an ass. Also watch him in games. He's a sniveling rodent whining like boeheim.

Screw court storming etiquette, people just need to have fun sometimes, and it's been a while for DePaul fans. Completely agree, DePaul has been a graveyard since Joey Meyer went 3-22, and that was a long time ago. They are entitled to have a little fun. Purnell has some good young players -- if he gets a foothold in Chicago, watch out, especially if Illnois doesn't step it up. I don't know what to make of Nova -- didn't they have pretty strong recruiting classes the past couple of years? Not entirely surprised about Pitt -- they've had injuries and don't have the bruisers they used to have.

Did Villanova's fans storm the court after the USF debacle?

Dixon is gone in a year or two I bet anyway. Pitt leaving the BE is a blessing in disguise, IMO. I cant blame Dixon because I am sure if he had his druthers, they would stay in the BE, but there is no way he is going to be able to recruit for the ACC. I just dont see NYC kids going to Pittsburgh to play in North Carolina all year. That's why, i think you are right. I think he is gone in a year or two, and I think Pitt will correspondingly stink.

The same may happen in Syracuse, after Magoo leaves and they have to recruit for the ACC schedule. Did wonders for BC!

I'm firmly in the camp of "Magoo will not coach an ACC league game." Have been since before the Bernie Fine stuff came out. When you combine Magoo's age, his allegiance to the BE, and whatever comes of the Fine stuff, it seems pretty likely that the ACC will be rewarded with the "after-Boeheim" era of SU hoops. And also, Syracuse football.

I'm firmly in the camp of "Magoo will not coach an ACC league game." Another reason: The Syracuse administration made a conscious decision not to keep Boeheim informed about the ACC talks--he had no advance knowledge of it. He's been there since 1962 as a student and since 1968 as a member of the staff...and they don't trust him that much? Imagine the ill will if Georgetown was leaving the Big East and didn't tell (either) Thompson in advance? Boeheim also mocked the decision, asking reporters where he'd rather be in March for a conference tournament. "Where would you want to go to to a tournament for five days, New York City or Greensboro, North Carolina? Let me think about that one and get back to you," he joked. He probably got talked to about it and subsequently dialed back the ACC comments in the press. By 2014, he'll be 70--does he really want to deal with all the ACC politics, Fine's trial notwithstanding? Boeheim's comments at the post-Fine press conferences were also telling--he was taking the heat and the school largely looked on. Boeheim avoided getting bounced like Paterno, but he's a short timer and will go out a Big East coach. And when he coaches his last game at the 2014 tournament at MSG, I hope people recognize it for what it is--the end of an era and the last of the original Big East coaches. For anyone wondering, the original seven were: Tom Davis, Boston College (73, retired at Drake in 2007) Dom Perno, Connecticut (71, retired as GW's AD in 2010) John Thompson, Georgetown (70, retired in 1999) Gary Walters, Providence (68, now AD at Princeton) Bill Raftery, Seton Hall (68, retired in 1981) Lou Carnesecca, St. John's (87, retired at SJ in 1992) Jim Boeheim, Syracuse (67, current coach at Syr, 1975-present)
