There were basically two choices from ESPN tonight: Basketball or Football.
Considering it is a Tuesday, I sided with basketball, and was not disappointed.
If you haven't noticed yet, this week and next week are full of great games, but tonight was a phenomenal night.
First, Notre Dame vs. Texas, number seven vs. eight, was an incredible game out in Maui. Despite AJ Abrams best effort, Notre Dame still came out on top and will face number one North Carolina tomorrow night.
For anyone wondering, that's must see TV. It's two top ten teams and two player of the year candidates going head to head tomorrow night with Tyler Hansbrough of UNC against Luke Harangody of the Irish.
The night cap, which actually just ended, was Syracuse vs. Kansas, a rematch of the 2003 National Championship Game. Syracuse managed to win in overtime in Kansas City over the Jayhawks. It was the first time since 1983 that Kansas lost in the regular season in Kansas City.
Between those two games, one major theme stood out: The Big East is going to be unbelievable.
If you don't believe me, just take a look at the BCS conferences' records against each other so far this season. Remember, the season just started November 14th.
- Big East 8-2
- ACC 5-2
- Big XII 2-2
- Big Ten 2-3
- SEC 1-4
- Pac-10 1-6
Overall, the Big East is 57-5 on the season. That equals a 92% win percentage to start the season, easily the best of the major six conferences. Even more impressive is their record against the other five conferences, as stated above.
Just a fair warning two weeks into the season: When the Big East gets ten teams into the Big Dance, don't say I didn't warn you. That would be a record for most entries from one conference, but the 2008-09 Big East may be the best conference ever.
Now, how bout we finally catch up with the Auburn "love" here?
After a week and a half of pictures, it's time to turn to a video for once.
Don't ask me how I came across this one, but i found it quite entertaining.
