Big East just passed Big Ten for 3rd best conference at www.kenpom.com

ACC and Big 12 are way out in front, but the Big East now leads a close four-conference race for third by a hair. If Providence can pull out this game against Arizona that would be huge. With Georgetown falling just short against Maryland and Georgetown, I'm not sure if we have other upsets of ranked teams besides us over LSU, so Providence over Arizona would be huge.

Go Kris Dunn!

Providence looks like the better team.

The fightin Kris Dunn's pulled it out. Dunn scored like 12 or 14 points in the last 5 minutes.

Friars win!

On to MSU.  Woot woot

Dunn reminds me a ton of Wade. That kid can play.

Would have been nice to see him at MU. If I recall correctly, we were his runner up.

Dunn wanted to come here, but Buzz held off while pursuing York. By that time, Dunn had rocketed to the McDonald's All American Game and I believe Providence and UConn were the leaders. We were an afterthought because Buzz waited too long going after York.

Wow, I had completely drawn a blank on how close he was to being here. I interviewed him last year at the Big East awards and a wonderful kid, returning the glory to God in every response.

That win has big East 3rd as well. Providence shot way up to 38th sobthey would be the fourth team in the tourney with gtown on the bubble.

Sorry, on Georgetown above I meant near upsets at Maryland and of Duke.

The conference looming so good the last few days is great - except for remembering we have to actually beat these teams.

Here's what I'll say about Dunn.  Clearly he's been happy at Providence.  Didn't need to stay 4 years but he did.  Hope he's walking across the stage come May and again across the NBA stage in June.
