BIG EAST TOURNAMENT THREAD

[MuggsyB]

Providence better wake up.

[ATL MU Warrior]

We definitely want Prov over Butier.

Curious as to why you think this?  I'd rather play Butler who would be playing 3rd game in 3 days than Providence who is a far better team.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I'd rather just be playing on Friday.

Good article. 

I get that Bill's a character and an ambassador to the game, esp out west.  I've just heard him openly antagonize his partner more than once. I can almost hear what the other guy is thinking in the two seconds of dead air that follows.

Money quote: 'Pasch: "The first time I did a game with Bill was the NBA Finals in 2006. He claims it never happened."'

Last season when they announced from their homes, in 1 game Pasch had made up a bingo card of Bill's off topic items and held it up to his webcam every time he could cross 1 off. I think he had a "bingo" before halftime, it was very funny.

God these Providence fans are annoying!

I guess we'll be hearing a lot about how Creighton already beat MU twice.

I've never been a Brando fan.  He really forces it.  Very cliched, too, but what are you going to do but get hammered drunk

It's better for our resume and potential  seeding to beat Prov.  Plus, as much as I hate their fans, it could move Providence down a few seeds and hence hurt the BEast.

[MuggsyB]

I like this Lithuanian kid on Butler.

[Uncle Rico]

Butler is such a pain in the ass

[MuggsyB]

Wow. What a lucky break for Prov.

It's better if we win. Give me Butler every time

Brando might be the worst play by play guy to get big game. Lord he's terrible.

I like this Lithuanian kid on Butler.

I liked him more yesterday. Today he was more John Starks instead of Jean Felix.

[MarquetteDano]

One thing I find bothersome is when the Big East broke off, on his show he is very adamant on how bad this was for the Big East and how much worse the conference would be.

Why would you make a guy like that your key announcer for you biggest tournament?

How come when I called them "The Dence" I was ruthlessly attacked??

Cooley is very easy to root for. Great guy

He'd be pretty good on TV, I think
