Lawsuit time - WVa press release says they will join Big 12 efffective 7/1/12; Big East commish issues statement that 27-month waiting period will be enforced. Do they have lawyers in West Virginia?? They have lawyers in West Virginia, but they are mostly in family law and they spend their time addressing conundrums like the following: "If a man and a woman get divorced in West Virginia, do they remain brother and sister?" |

If the NBA lockout goes on through the first semester, Jeff should have enough credits to graduate. Is this too late to count for the calculation?

Anybody with a complete list of all the alums there? The audio was so bad that I could barely hear the intros. Besides Jeff, Roy, Greg, JYD, and the Ewings, I noticed Gene and Eric Smith, Othella, and Sead. Others who were there include Mike Hancock, John Duren, Reggie Williams, Tyler Crawford, Amadou Kilkenny-Diaw, Mark Tillmon, Omari Faulkner, Lamont Morgan, Nat Burton, Anthony Perry and Ryan Dougherty. |

Congrats to Rebekkah on the WNBA championship! (Is that our first women's basketball player to earn herself a pro championship ring?) Congrats as well. Jaren Jackson won a championship with the Spurs and Zo won with the Heat. |

There was a lot of talk about smaller venues - the is from a Georgetown release in July : "Georgetown men's basketball is a primary tenant of Verizon Center and has ranked in or near the top-25 of NCAA men's basketball attendance for the last three seasons. During the 2010-11 season, when Georgetown reached the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in seven years under Head Coach John Thompson III, the Hoyas finished the season ranked No. 25 in the country and fourth in the BIG EAST in average attendance with 12,675 fans per game. " These are the facts. Just once it would be nice if a Georgetown press release got its facts correct. We have gone to the NCAA tournament FIVE times in JTIII's seven years, going to the NIT in 2005 and 2009. |

Perhaps John chose not to include it in the Citation.

If ND goes to the ACC and assuming UConn is the 16th ACC school, then Rutgers gets left out in the cold.

Not certain I agree about going to the ACC. Why become lost in that crowd? I don't know that this won't be a disaster for Pitt. If GU, Nova, St. John's, Providence, Seton Hall, ND, Depaul, and Marquette remain together you have a strong foundation for a basketball conference, with or without the football schools. Add Xavier, Gonzaga--if you want to incur costs for travel-- and possibly Butler and one other (ODU, UNCC) and the Hoyas would still be in a top flight basketball conference. The only way I would ever want ODU in any basketball conference I was in would be if there was a contractual agreement that we would never, ever, play them in McDonough. |

The odds of us pulling off a basketball centric league centered in the Northeast (or national in scope) are massively higher than the odds of us becoming an Ivy League school.

Why? Who the heck cares what academic conference we are in once you are graduated and are more than a few years out? What good does it do you that it's an ivy? I could care less. I get far more enjoyment out of watching the hoyas basketball team play big games every year than I ever would of just being able to say gtown is an ivy. Seriously, this thread sickens me. Are we just a bunch of wannabe ivy leaguers now? I want basketball not something to drop in a conversation at some freakin soirée We have to face facts.Once the TV money goes from the Big East's obliteration, there aren't going to be any more big games to see. We actually will have a better chance of going to the NCAAs year in and year out in the Ivy League than in a WCAC of the East. Why does everyone beleive that our TV money is going away? We were not sharing in football money anyway, and the Big East was premised on TV markets. In New York, DC and Philadelphia we still have the major programs in three of the top six or seven TV markets in the country in an area of the country that cares a lot more for college basketball than college football. I sure hope that whoever is negotiating on our behalf (hopefuly Tagliabue) is a lot cooler than the Kevorkian clowns on this board trying to assist in the demise of our basketball program. |

The proud tradition of proofreading in the Athletic Department lives on. Except for the freshmen, each of our players is listed in the wrong class. For example, both Jason and Henry are still juniors.
But that's OK, because it's still the 2010-11 season.

I cannot imagine a worse home schedule for an out of town fan.
It is hard to reconcile with the incessant demands for more money coming from the program.
On the bright side, I feel a lot better about our chances to win 20 this year.

Happy Birthday Ed.
I'm hoping that Kyle Anderson will reward you with a belated birthday present.

Wow, we held Mao to 2 points in 20 minutes of play. I'd say our defense has taken a great leap forward. I expect that improving our defense will be a long march. |

I get a sense that we may have a foul prone group with this team. Obviously, the officiating would have had a large impact in China, but the accounts of Kenner league games also seemed replete with foul difficulty.
More fouls may force us to go deeper into the bench.

At least when Jim Boeheim through a chair he threw it at a wall and not at our players.
