That’s pretty amazing..

Syracuse is really overrated and they lost their experienced leader. They also got beat last night by Cleveland State. We played them earlier and they were small fast but we beat them pretty badly.

The Big East is well represented. How many project deep into the tournament? There’s talk here that both UNC and Duke may make. I do not believe Duke to be capable. I will say that they typically get a lot better as the year progresses. Duke’s Coach K seems to like to put the freshmen in from the start and let them learn on the fly. UNC didn’t look great vs. Oral Roberts, but it was their first game in 10 days. I think now that they are practicing again they’ll be fine. Cleveland St. playing Syracuse even was not a good sign. Pitt may be the cream of BE’s crop. I think UNC, Duke, and WF will end up doing pretty well this year. The ACC may get 6-7 bids.

maybe the leader shouldn’t go beating on women.

big east is tough, let’s see what happens when they start eating their own.  curious to see how many of them are true contenders.  uconn and looeyville, i know.  we’ll see about pitt, when it comes to crunch time they really lack the star power of the other top 10 teams, you know.
