Speaking of the AAC.  UConn had their version of midnight madness last night but instead of a 3-pt & dunk contest they broke up the men's and women's teams into two coed teams and had a scrimmage.

Sounds like a blast. Who won skins or shirts?

I half expected the media guide to have Val Ackerman's floating head and "Coming Soon"

Nice to see all of the Big East history included.  I wonder what the AAC media guide looks like?

Does Marquette really have exactly 12,000 students?

12,002 according to wiki.

Skins won, by the way

Oh goodness, Keefe!

Which would be perfectly fine, but why are these guys part of the list?

Jordan Crawford Xavier (2009-10) Atlanta Hawks
Gordon Hayward Butler (2008-10) Utah Jazz
Kyle Korver Creighton (1999-2003) Atlanta Hawks
Shelvin Mack Butler (2008-11) Atlanta Hawks
Anthony Tolliver Creighton (2003-07) Charlotte Bobcats
David West Xavier (1999-03) Indiana Pacers

And "player" would be a stretch when he never played a game:
Ricky Ledo Providence Dallas Mavericks


And also, why doesn't Jimmy Butler have the (+) denoting a first round draft pick?

Another also, why is Otto Porter, who is a rookie this year listed when Dwight Buycks, who also has a guaranteed contract isn't?

Boooooooooooo, boooooooo page 132, booooooooo.

THIS needs to be forwarded to the Big East.

IF the goal is to promote the history of the Big East AS WELL AS its current members, Wade should be there.
Players who have been signed by NBA teams should be there. Understably, non-drafted FAs might not have made the printing deadline; yet, they can ALWAYS revise the Media Guide.

Do people actually read the media guide? Do fans outside the BE read it? Did you read the PAC12 media guide this year?

And listing players that never played a second in the BE is JV at best and Bush League at worst. It would make more sense to list the NBA players of teams that left the BE (but at least played in the conference) than it would listing players that never participated.

Meh - disagree. It should be players who played on teams in the current Big East that have appeared in games in the NBA.

I was just proving a point. I agree with you.

I also think the records should be cleaned up. Players of teams that are no longer in the conference shouldnt hold the records (it kind of goes in line with not recognizing players of teams no longer in the conference that got drafted and played in the NBA).

Disagree. Teams leave conferences all the time and I don't know of any conference that does it this way. Conference records are for players who were playing in that conference at the time. Pretty standard

Completely disagree. 

Should Cy Young be removed from the record books because he played for the Cleveland Spiders?

You can count on Scoop for comic relief.
