  1. Take away UCONN men & women who are no longer in the Big East and how many have they won. I think NOVA is the only current Big East member to have won a championship. So the correct answer is 1 in 17 years. Not in the last 17, but Georgetown won in 84 and Marquette in 77.
  2. I think the bigger problem is no offensive threat in the post to keep other teams bigs honest. They are free to help and block/alter driver's shots without much potential downside
  3. The officiating was terrible today. But they were terrible bUT they were terrible both ways. There were at least 10 completely head scratchingly bad calls, but I don't think they were unevenly bad
  4. The pick and roll baskets, IMO, were much more demoralizing than the 3 point shots. They shoot over 40% As a team from 3. You have to expect they are going to drain some 3's. Plus the law of averages had to turn in the opposing team's favor. Illinois and Minnesota were awful from 3. The thing about the pick and roll and the backdoor cuts was the fact that we weren't guarding the 3 point line. If we took away the 3's and they were getting lay-ups, we would have been alright. We weren't going to take both away, so we needed to take 1 away.We actually have brought the press at times starting with the Rutgers game. To run it, we need to make shots. That will be the key. Michigan surprised me with their carelessness passing the ball in the press. We easily could have forced 3 or 4 more turnovers, as we deflected some balls, and nearly deflected others. I was sitting next to a Michigan fan @ the game, and the moment he saw we were pressing, he said "crap, we are terrible at breaking the press."
