in terms of Hubert Davis, has he not put a team in his field of 65?? Every bubble team he talks about, he says is in. His field has to have at least 80 teams at this point.

I've noticed that too.

I was listening to this game on the radio from work today. Matta in the post game interview applauded this young team and said how proud he was of them. He said they were the hardest working bunch of kids he's had in a while. They just come out and work hard every week. He spoke about the group that he'll have next year with optimism and seemed to be realistic about the group returning 100%. Let's hope they all come back, I'd love to see the big guys return.

His name is Hubert, and he's an idiot.

It's just hypocritical. Digger saying other conference's bubble teams are more deserving. The Big-10 has done well out of conference.

Those guys don't know what the fuck they are talking about. They are just having a Big East circle jerk right now. Look at the combined RPI of the Big Ten, it's a very good conference......and very deep. The only team in the Big East IMHO that deserves a #1 seed is Louisville...

Yeah, how has the Big East fared in the past few years in the big dance again? They are all about the sizzle on ESPN, I think we all should know that by now.

ESPN headquarters are in UConn, I mean Connecticut. Too many of their employees reside there, and drink the local Kool Aid.

correct. They hired employees are from UCONN. The on-air, non-athlete talent, is from Syracuse. They love some Big East....

Wisconsin? No way. That little honey is a Buckeye. Look closely.

Love the constipated face shots of Bo Douchebag Ryan.
