NJIT over #17 Michigan... It was a typical Georgetown-in-NCAAs game with the compass/directional school playing lights out. Frankly, that woulda meant NJIT beating Michigan by double-digits.... You mean like Green Bay over the ACC's Miami (#15)? |

Upset in Ann Arbor! The only D-1 school without a conference affiliation, New Jersey Institute of Technology, with a 2-6 record coming in, knocks off #17 Michigan at Crisler, 72-70. Highlanders shot 58% from the field and 64% from three-point range for the shocker. Wait - that can't be the same Michigan team that beat Syracuse last week - could it??!! |

At the half at the Carrier Dome, St. John's leads Syracuse 32-28. Butler leads Northwestern 49-44 with 8:09 left in the second half at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Yes, and the same Wolverine team that played Villanova tough. And if it hadn't been for LeVert, it would have been a Highlander blowout. As shocking as Yale's win at UConn was last night, this one is off the freakin' charts. |

Speaks to the level of parity in the game these days. And although Gtown should never need a wake-up call about the possibility of losing to a lesser known opponent its a reminder that almost no team can afford to take a game for granted. Gone are the days when teams could coast on talent and blow out mid and low-majors.... |

Idk much about Yale tbh but I was lurking on the UCONN board earlier this week and there was a lot of convo about how tough a game Yale was going to be especially without Purvis... |

Butler holds off Northwestern, 65-56. Butler will stay ranked, and should move up a few spots due to the losses today by higher-ranked teams.

Phil Greene is absolutely torching Cuse late. Would be a great road win for the Johnnies if they can hold on.

FLHoya are we allowed to call this St. John's win a good one for the conference?
Because it is.

Damn Uconn Drop F-Ball and come home… touch.courant.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-82200906/UConn has already been through the disintegration of one league. Are they on board another sinking ship? According to a Nashville radio station, Cincinnati and Memphis are about to abandon the American Athletic Conference and climb aboard the Big 12. “I am being told that Fred Smith [Memphis-based FedEx CEO] is opening up his checkbook and helping easy this process along,” said Darren McFarland, host of a sports talk show on ESPN radio in Nashville. Here’s the full story. It’s certainly true that the Big 12, which is down to 10 schools, has been looking to add schools (rather than change its name, one imagines) and, unlike the Big 10 or ACC, has not been looking to the East Coast. So the AAC, with its schools in the Midwest, Mississippi Valley and the south, could be ripe for raiding. Cincinnati AD Mike Bohn, when he was hired last February, made no secret of his ambition to take the program to one of the power conferences. Memphis' football program is much improved this year. If Memphis and Cincinnati jump, the AAC will lose two of its better basketball programs, weakening the league still further for UConn’s longterm interests. So, pressure for UConn to somehow get itself into a power conference, or a better basketball situation, will greatly intensify. And the AAC will be right back into turmoil, searching for new schools. … Wonderful. |

St. John's 69, Syracuse 57. Final at the Dome. Syracuse only scored two points in the last 5:30 of the game, after taking a 55-52 lead.
Well done, Johnnies. Well done.

As I wrote on a separate thread a few days ago, the Board of Regents at UConn should follow UAB's lead, save the taxpayers of the Nutmeg State some money, and drop D-1 football. That will pave the way for the Huskies to return home. |

Their fans are the most vocally against the current Big East and their administration is Big 10 or bust. Obviously it would be great for the Big East, but I hate them all the same. |

If you read the Boneyard (their basketball forum), you can see that there is a split among UConn fans regarding the NBE, as they call it. Some view it as a mid-major, some are envious. They are united in their displeasure that football caused them to be left out of the NBE. I believe, given their druthers, that UConn followers would be thrilled to be back in with us.
It doesn't mean we have to like them. It would make the Big East that much more difficult for ESPN to try to ignore, as Storrs isn't all that far from Bristol. I, for one, would love to have another in-league hated rival.
