Congrats Bazz and Omar! RB you should've been at least an honourable mention. You had one heck of a season!

These guys deserve the accolades. KO deserves COY. But, in my mind, we don't play in the big east anymore. I don't root for any of the teams now in the tourney. I have little, or no feelings towards anything big east anymore.

I was thinking DeAndre at least deserved honorable mention.

In conference games he was 17th in the Big East in scoring, 14th in rebounding, 10th in field goal percentage, and 6th in blocks per game.

That doesn't even get you honorable mention while Brandon Triche is 3rd team?

Triche is one of those guys who can "do no wrong", and is given way more credit than he deserves. He'd actually make a great Dookie for that reason.

Triche has been skating on reputation all year. In big games he's been pretty bad.

I hope we are boycotting the banquet.

after 10 years in the conference he deserves something!

Interesting that Quse has like 5 Mc D AAs and they have no one on the list. Shame.

 

[Kitaman]

Now I can release Bazz.

Shutout to Boat for having the cojones and ability to make that game winning shot yesterday!

Congrats to SN and OC!

duck the presidents of the universities who hid behind the false apr issue to prevent UConn from going into the BE tournament. They should have made a statement from the beginning that the apr issue was wrong by never voting against UConn's acceptance into the tournament.

But to maintain that stance once it was know the conference was ending was cruel. So duck them and the NCAA and let them know they will have karma to pay for their action!!!!!
