We Need To Quit the Big East

[Leebo]

I would have said the same thing about Cincinnati after their 62-59 loss to Baylor, but they lost and they don't have talent.

You have to feel for teams like Baylor getting stuck playing Cincinnati.

And go where?

Bret question let’s see if there is a great answer.

We're finding new and more asinine ways to deal with UConn being the best program in college basketball.

All the complaining about reffing is getting really tired, especially when we just played a great game, beat a top 20 team, and are #1. Some on here need to find a new hobby.

 

[jimva]

smart and accurate post

uconn has too much talent to be forced to play games that are 62-48.

You think low score had to do from reffing? We had an off shooting night, made some bad shot choices. Oh and our defense completely shut them down. Great game, fun to watch

 

[arnie3]

No. They we NOT awful. But that doesn't make them solid.

The Big East needs us way more than we need them.

Wow! You can't be serious! This was one of the best played games this year! This is why I left this board after 25 years.

Anyone watching Providence at DePaul right now? What a crowd! There may be hundreds there!

Yes I was up to 10 minutes ago. I estoppel lazy to change stations

Imagine being another team fan coming to this board and reading the stuff on here

I'll take tonight every night during league play. We weren't very good offensiviley and EVERY posession (both sides) ran the shot clock down, so this game was destined to be low scoring.

What normally happens in the BE is the refs put 2 on one of our starters in the first 6-8 minutes. This was the first normally reffed game of the year IMO. (But with 2 very egregious bad calls...Castle offensive being the second one)

The offensive foul on Alexander was as silly as the offensive fouls on Newton and Castle. I know we’re supposed to forget about the call that benefit us, but ….

The big East prepared us pretty well last season for the tournament. Hopefully it will again this year. Leaving the big East because of bad basketball refs? You must be new to the game?

It felt like a BE game from the old BE. That being said that foul on Newton was absolutely horrendous.

 

[Blueballer]

Not this again. It is what is is. We're not going anywhere as much as everybody would like that.

I love where we are.

 

[uconnbill]

The referees are consistent, though it is mostly bad. The game was called as most Big East games have been called this year.

 

[HuskyCLT]

Of all games you choose this one to complain about? The refs were mostly out of the way and calling the game fair. I found it very watchable in comparison to some of our other games

 

[david klatt]

Relax Francis Big East has helped us far more than you think. We could be watching the aac teams and I would rather watch mold grow. Have no interest in any conference unless our football team can be competitive.

 

[Rico444]

What's weird is, of all the Big East games we've played this year, this was the one where the refs made the lowest impact.

 

[Bomber36]

As much as I love UConn bball,, I find it so difficult to watch he conference games.

If anyone can explain, precisely, what constituted that second foul on Newton, I am all ears.

But I know the reality.

We will never get a fair shake in this pissant conference.

We just have to get out.

Let them thrive on Seton Hall and Creighton as the cream of the crap.

Handle checks out.

 

[87Xfer]

Anywhere!

Colonial, Big Sky, who cares?

Big Est sucks balls!

All of those fouls called in the final 4 minutes should have been called all game.

We should have an could have won by 30.

Even up 20 I was apoplectic at the horrendous officiating.

We have to get out of this dysfunctional, abusive relationship.

If you are being serious, you're an imbecile.

 

[auror]

It was the right call on Newton.

Put down the drinks and have a good sleep. You will wake up tomorrow and see this thread and can't believe you posted this. LOL!

It was the right call on Newton.

No it wasn't. He barely had any leg kick. It was just a horrendous call by the ref looking for something that really wasn't there. If they reviewed that call they would of reversed it.
