Can you feel the (March) Madness???
Posted on 9 Mar 2012 by Mark Cook.
As we rapidly approach The 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Here are the teams that I believe will make the most “noise” in the next couple of weeks. Favorites to WIN it all: 1. Kentucky – Anthony Davis is a “beast” in the paint and with the clutch play of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Kentucky is one of the “best” teams in college basketball today alo...

Pirates: The Official Pittsburgh Pirates Preview
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Pittsburgh, the City of Champions, as we Pittsburgh sports fans like to call it. The Steelers and their six 6 Super Bowl trophies. The Penguins and their three Stanley Cup wins. Pitt basketball, the reigning Big East regular-season champions. Then, you have the Pirates. With 18 consecutive losing seasons, the Pirates are out of place with these other teams, and often out of mind amids...

Pitt: 2 Criticisms That Remain The Same
Posted on 10 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
After their loss to Connecticut today, we are starting to hear the usual talk about Pitt choking in the NCAA tournament and their inability to get to the Final Four. While the loss today was a downer, as it is their third consecutive year losing their first game in the Big East tournament, it isn’t reason to think Pitt is going to fail in the NCAA tournament. With, in my opinion, the dee...

“When it Rains, it Pours”
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Brendan Kelly.
Villanova has officially hit rock bottom. After finally looking like the team they were expected to be, in the first half of their first round game of the Big East tournament against South Florida Tuesday night, Villanova blew a 16 point halftime lead and lost to the 2nd worst team in the conference. It was the 5th loss in a row for the Wildcats who look like a mentally broken team and are beyo...

Posted on 13 Feb 2011 by John Buffone.
The Louisville Cardinals have six more games to continue building an already impressive tournament resume. Their latest win against #12 Syracuse on Saturday epitomized what kind of team the Cardinals can be come tournament time. On a day where Louisville celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1986 National Championship team, the Cards honored the past by generating excitement for the future. In...

Syracuse blows another game
Posted on 12 Feb 2011 by Curt Bell.
Syracuse headed to Louisville today, hoping to finally add a strong win to their resume and again vault to upper echelon of the Big East. Yet again, in what is becoming a trend in this season, the Orange showed they are unable to win a big game against a strong conference foe, as they dropped this game to lose their sixth game in their past eight. Again, they were plagued by lapses in defen...

Villanova Stunned In Final Seconds, Pitt Looms
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Brendan Kelly.
The one positive thing Villanova can take from their heartbreaking, last second loss at Rutgers on Wednesday night? It's only February. Down 10 with under 3 minutes to play, Rutgers made a barrage of unlikely shots, capped by a long 4-point play by Johnathan Mitchell with .8 seconds left on the clock to upset the 10th ranked Wildcats 77-76, in front of a raucous crowd at the RAC. A free throw b...

Syracuse finally gets back on track
Posted on 3 Feb 2011 by Curt Bell.
After what feels like an eternity, Syracuse finally is back on the winning track, after taking down UConn last night 66-58 in a hostile environment on the road. After losing four games in a row in the Big East, this was a game they absolutely needed to win. There's nothing quite like restoring a team's confidence like a win away from home against one of their biggest rivals. At long last,...

Hoyas Humble Cards
Posted on 31 Jan 2011 by John Buffone.
It looked like they were going to do it again. For the 4th time this season, the Louisville Cardinals came back from at least a 9-point deficit in the 2nd half to take the lead. However, the magic ran out in the closing seconds and the Georgetown Hoyas were able to defeat the Cards 62-59. It was a big win for the Hoyas who are currently riding a 5-game winning streak. Both teams started the gam...

Syracuse gets embarrassed
Posted on 26 Jan 2011 by Curt Bell.
Last night in the Carrier Dome, Syracuse put on one of the more pathetic showings I've ever witnessed in front of a home crowd. They got blown out by Seton Hall, a team currently sitting near the bottom of the Big East, and a team they had already defeated earlier in the year (sans Jeremy Hazell). The defense was atrocious (again), there was no urgency on offense, as well as a total lack of...

Orange drops 1st game of the year
Posted on 18 Jan 2011 by Curt Bell.
Wow. I'm not even sure where to begin for the battle between Syracuse and Pittsburgh last night at the Pete. From the agonizing first 8 minutes of the game, to the shocking next six minutes, the back and forth battle over the next twenty minutes, to the final minutes where Pittsburgh at last pulled away from a gutty Syracuse effort, it was a game unlike any I have ever watched in my life. C...

Syracuse weathers Storm in MSG
Posted on 13 Jan 2011 by Curt Bell.
Last night, when unbeaten Syracuse traveled to fabled Madison Square Garden to face the resurgent Johnnies of St. John's, the game was being billed as the first significant meeting between the two teams in years. After a slow start to the night, Syracuse thoroughly dismantled St. John's en route to a 76-59 victory. St. John's, behind the energy of the “home” crowd (almost half o...
