You just had to ram that joke in there

Figuring it out was a challenger, but a punster of my caliber was able to complete the journey.

Wow! Tower to the hoop with authority!

UConn has won 22 straight non-conference games, all by double digits.

UConn has the right coach and the right league.  Deadly combo

Some real love festing for us over at uconn land - hurley may be a dick, but he's our dick. Loving the BE unity.

Hurley is a yappy, obnoxious in-game coach.   He made it abundantly clear last season how much he admires, respects, and appreciates the Big East and the other coaches.    So, I will mutter things about him during games, but I respect him.   And he once again has a NC contender.

They're real good. The games against them this year are going to be a lot of fun.

Fun thread, thanks for posting. One person didn't know that Shaka often plays Oso and Gold together, but that's OK. They'll get to see it for themselves!

Yup.  I always hated Hurley, but once he was in the BE and I started paying attention to his pressers it became very clear that he's just a guy who goes to bat for his team (much like our own coach).  With that perspective, I now even enjoy his sideline craziness.  Our guy is crazy on the sidelines too.  And it's awesome.

They both walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

Not only does the BEast have three of the best teams in the country, we have three of the most exciting teams to watch.

Same. I did a 180 on Hurley OFF THE COURT after watching and reading a lot on him during their post-season run last year. In game he is still among the worst...but he knows it and seems to be somewhat working on it. Still don't like UCONN overall, but it is big for the conference to have MU, UConn and Creighton level up just at the right time with Jay Wright's departure. I think Miller will get X back up to perennial top 20 team soon too.

Would be nice to see nova with the battle 4 Atlantis and get another big east team into the top 25 before conference play

I was one of those who pooh-poohed Dan Hurley - not because of his demeanor but because his results had not lived up to his reputation. Coaching at this level is a results business, and his results at UConn were barely better than Wojo's results at Marquette. I mean, that's just a fact.

But then the second half of last season did happen, and their impressive postseason run did happen, and nobody can take that away from him. Then, on top of it all, he has become such a great spokesman for the Big East.

So good on Hurley. He's certainly earning the accolades he's getting now.

Glad we have him in the Big East. It'll be fun to battle him and his team 4x this season!

Agreed on Hurley - I'm not a huge fan of him, but I really like how he has been a great proponent of the Big East.

[Herman Cain]

Hurley understood the value of The Big East and has been able to sell his vision to high quality recruits. His in game coaching produced the results and that adds fuel to the recruiting fire.   

The conference is 37-13 so far in non conference.

Nova up 10.  Creighton up 10.

Solid win for Nova . Creighton took care of business too.

[Herman Cain]

Would like to see Butler beat FAU today

[Herman Cain]

Nova goes to Overtime with The Tar Heels

[MuggsyB]

Happy TG all.  I see we have a good one with Nova/UNC.  What on Earth is going on with Creighton??

[MuggsyB]

Omg....I just looked at the box score.  Alexander and Schiermann are a combined 3-27.  Crazy. 

[MuggsyB]

Wake up Nova.  Get the freaking ball in bounds up 3. 

[MuggsyB]

Good win for Nova.
