Friars Get Pittsnoogled

Let just not talk about it. "It" was the embarrasing display PC put on against West Virginia last Wednesday. It doens't matter that the Mountaineers became the darlings of the tournament, or have really made a name for themselves and should do some damage in the NCAAs, PC played awful, move on.

Bob Ryan was in full-force all weekend, here's his article from the day after BC's loss to WVU (I predicted this loss by the way, I just thought it would be PC doing the honors). Ryan looks over BC's move to the ACC and is very insightful and poignint (spelling?).

And consider this: 14 of the 16 teams in the new Big East have been to the Final Four. Seven have won the championship. This will lead to totally unrealistic expectations. It's not as if 10 of them will be getting NCAA bids.

BR and I seem to be on the same page (scary isn't it) as last night as we both didn't realize Syracuse hadn't won a BIG EAST Tournament Championship since 1992. I know they hadn't won it recently with the dominance of Pittsburgh, but I would have figured the Lawrence Moten era would have brought a trophy back to the Dome.
