Irish Win Final Three Games, Secure Third in the Big East
Published 3/10/2008 by CW <info@rakesofmallow.com> at Rakes Of Mallow: Front Page Posts
(Say thanks to Card Chronicle for their handy Big East tournament bracket, which is now final.) Try as a I did, folks, I was unable to see the last three Notre Dame basketball games beyond highlights.  I've read plenty of commentary on the games and have looked over the box scores far too often in an attempt to glean some significance, but it just ends up that I'm very happy pulling out two road victories previous Irish teams would have surely squandered and extended the home winning streak.  Of course, the end of game runs put on by the Blue Demons and Bulls are ...

SU vs `Nova in the 8 b 9 Big East Tournament

I don't feel like I'll be watching Syracuse (19-12, 9-9 in the Big East) playing Villanova (19-11,9-9 in the Big East) at Madison Square Garden in the 8 v 9 game today at noon. It's feeling a lot more like a Rocky movie where Sylvester Stallone can hardly stand up anymore but you just know that he's going to get into that ring and knock the opponent to the floor.

Big East: Maybe Syracuse Doesn’t Like Dancing
Because I’m not sure what else could explain their pathetic second half against Villanova this afternoon at the Big East Tournament. After taking a 28-27 lead into the halftime break, the Orange were completely dismantled in the second stanza as they got outscored by the Wildcats 55-35. And I thought the Big East had a reputation for being a tough, defensive league. Apparently, the ...
Villanova Earns A Shot At Redemption
Villanova’s 82-63 win over Syracuse in the Opening Round of the Big East Tournament got the Wildcats closer to the NCAA Tournament and earned the young ‘Cats a shot at revenge in the next round.

And Syracuse officially loses any right to complain this year
I said earlier that I thought Syracuse could've sustained a loss and still had an outside chance at a spot in the NCAA tournament. And I still believe that was true.  What they couldn't sustain, however, was a savage rectal reaming at the hands of the Villanova Wildcats. The final was 82-63 . I'm amazed at how Syracuse lost all composure in this one. Villanova came out hot ...

Feels like Syracuse/Villanova is going to be a close one
Syracuse dominated much of the first half against Villanova, but in the last few minutes of the half, they decided that they'd rather not keep control of the ball for more than two seconds at a time. They turned it over, Villanova hit a couple of threes, and the Wildcats closed the half on an 8-0 run, and went into the half down just one. This one has the feel of a pretty close game, ...

Big East Tournament Bracket Update
I need this bracket in my life. So it's basically down to Pitt, Cincinnati, Syracuse, Villanova and Seton Hall as far as possible quarterfinal opponents goes. The fact that Pitt has made it to the Big East title game 75 years in a row makes them easily the most dangerous of the five, and adds even more incentive to Saturday's game. I'm going to go ahead and say it now: I'm not afraid of ...

Kentucky, Temple, UMass, Syracuse, Villanova, and Texas A&M; all kept their tournament hopes alive with wins, including a tough one for A&M; at Baylor.
