Did they have another commercial scheduled with Norfolk State five days later?

Barnhart is such a preschooler.

(The kids may not remember when Memphis State really was a spit-on-cheerleader rival, but that was 30 years ago.)

Pomeroy Projections

Pomeroy puts us at 26% to win the BE tournament. Also, the BE is the only conference where no team has more than a 30% chance of winning.

Big East coach and assistant throw punches ...

statprof — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:45:24 -0000

Point #38 in the Forde Minutes this week:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=3264849&sportCat=ncb

"Spies tell The Minutes that a Big East coach who shall remain nameless (38) recently got into a halftime argument with one of his assistants in a hallway outside the locker room. According to a source, it escalated to the point where punches were thrown."

Guesses?

Big East Projections (Pomeroy)

Like Mike and "if things ended today", I can't help myself. So, updated best guess from Pomeroy predictions.

It's so tight for the 1-4 spots that inevitable surprises, like the one that happened and the one that almost happened yesterday, will make this very wrong in some way. Of course, 5-12 are so good, the seeding probably doesn't much matter.

Cincinnati (10-8)
Syracuse (9-9)

1) UConn (15-3)

Marquette (13-5)
Providence (5-11)

4) Notre Dame (14-4)

Pitt (11-7)
Seton Hall (8-10)

2) Georgetown (14-4)

West Virginia (12-6)
Villanova (6-12)

3) Louisville (14-4)
