I don't ever root for UC - I don't care how their wins help us. Its not in my blood. (But I'm more than happy to root against Dayton)

[vee4xu]

Wow, that took a lot ok effort 33. Nice summary, but looks like lots of work. I don't see any other Big East games. Those are important for what place X ends up in at the end of the regular season, which too can affect the NCAA.

[vee4xu]

No other BE games today. Tomorrow, DePaul at St. John's and Marquette at Villanova.

Not that long really, took maybe 20-25 mins. I have a week old newborn at home so this help pass time and keep me up to make sure wife up for next feeding.

This. Period. Exclamation point!

[vee4xu]

last i looked ud was winning 54-48 with 12 minutes to go.

[Xavgrad08]

That was a big win for the Dayton Flyers.

[xubrew]

I am definitely rooting for UC. They're not going to fall out of the field, so the only thing a loss really mean is that they may be wearing black instead of white. So, even if they lose, they really haven't lost much. We need them as close to the top as possible.

[xubrew]

Mick Cronin is a freakin' moron!!! I can't believe he didn't get a technical.

[XU3232]

Mick Cronin is a freakin' moron!!! I can't believe he didn't get a technical.

Couldn't believe that.. And then shoves his assistant. He's a loose cannon. Argues every single call.

[xumuskies08]

Mick having to be restrained by his players and shoving an assistant coach isn't a good look. Neither is that abomination of a suit.

[THRILLHOUSE]

shocked Mick didn't get a T, but Valentine stepping to Cronin was dumb too.

[Retire33]

It was not a good look for either guys

[THRILLHOUSE]

It was not a good look for either guys

agreed.

[xubrew]

I think I'm the only person that doesn't see the logic in giving the other team two points as a way to fire up your own team. Find some other effective form of motivation. If UC comes back to win by two points or less, then Cronin should not get to count it toward his career win total.

[xubrew]

............and MY GOD what a horrible looking suit!!

[xsteve1]

I can't believe that UC assistant is taking it from Cronin.

[THRILLHOUSE]

and now Mick is going ballistic on another one of his assistants.

[THRILLHOUSE]

what a petulant little child Mick Cronin is.

[ThrowDownDBrown]

Mick and TV Teddy, two guys I absolutely hate

[Lamont Sanford]

Don't care if it hurts our RPI, I freakin love when UC loses.

45 points?!? That's all the offense they can muster? They are a solid defensive team because they are physical and get away with it, but man do they struggle on offense.

Agreed. Their D is good enough to keep them in games, but I just can't see them going deep (past Sweet 16) in the tourney because of how bad their offense is outside of SK.

One thing that amused me during the broadcast was when Seth Greenberg asked Mike Patrick if you would want to play either team in the tournament. Patrick responded no because of "Guards. Offense". Offense??? You just watched a 51 - 45 game and think the reason no one would want to play either team is because of offense???

[THRILLHOUSE]

Richmond down 24 to Rhody with 11 left.

[Retire33]

They are toast. Now just hope they go into UD Arena and beat the Flyers. A-10 with its annual killing of their bids.
