The Big East Tourney is on right now. Marquette is crushing St. Johns, while DePaul lost earlier. (Side note: DePaul may stink, but I love those uniforms.) Not exactly exciting yet, but this is such a ridiculously long tournament that you're bound to have sleepers as well as killer games. Tonight, Notre Dame plays West Virginia and the Fighting Irish are pretty much headed to the NIT if they lose.
I wasn't going to post right now, but then I read this quote at ESPN.com's blog regarding the DePaul/Providence game:
This is the classic battle between a team with nothing to lose and a team with everything to lose. The DePaul fans are having a good time; the Providence fans look as though they're about to have a group colonoscopy. - Dana O'Neil
Gotta love that. I expect both sides to look similar to Providence fans during the Minnesota/Northwestern game tomorrow.
By the way, Virginia Commonwealth and their senior stud guard Eric Maynor won their way into the tourney. I will always love VCU after they knocked off Duke in the first round of the Big Dance two years ago. Any midmajor that gets rid of Coach K in the first round is all right with me.
