Big East Tourney Fake Semi Live Blog

5:24

The dream season is over. DayPaul's 0-18 run in Big East play finally came to a run when the Fighting Wainwright's knocked off Cincinnatti and the dreadful Georgetown season has finally come to an end, at least until the NIT.

At this point I should just donate the money to charity. What a pitiful showing, aft

er two games there is not a single perfect bracket out of the 13 and only 5 of the 13 even have picked a game right.

8:54

Pugliatte and Bane continue their pursuit of perfection. Just because DayPaul did not go winless does not mean James and the Baniac won't give it their best

11:10

And that is a wrap for Day one of five of the Big East Tournament

Three teams picked up rare big east tourney wins thanks to the new format (DayPaul, St. Johns and Seton Hall) and one bracket remains perfect, Tommy Bane 0-4, probably the only person that paid attention to every game besides me, could not even get one right

12:02 pm

We got Dan Shulman and Len Elmore, the day squad calling these games, a change of pace from previous years when they would handle the night cap and the big guns, Bilas, McDunny and Onions Raftery doing the day, but this is a different Big East Tourney and I haven't figured out what the theme song is this year but anything has to be better than the 20 percent song from two years ago

1:05 pm

The Cinderfellas are at it again, DayPaul is tied with the Friars at the half

1:38 pm

You gotta believe, after refusing to win all regular season, DayPaul is now refusing to lose

Wainwright looks like he is ready to keel over any second, apparently he has the flu or IMO a bad hangover from celebrating a Cincy win like a national championship

1:42 pm

I swear to god Len Elmore just said, Unpredictability, Fallability, ability and capability in the span of ten seconds, PLEASE PLEASE TIVO it and listen again

I can just picture a Bud Light commercial spawning from this

2:10 pm

Bane Finally gets a game right, but he had to sweat it out as Walker and Tucker put together an all-time performance for DayPAul even though Len Elmore was prodding them to stop fouling at the end, i think he had the under

3:18 pm

Just got to Juice's in time to see this slaughtering of St. Johns in its own fake arena, this should be a good dud

Any hopes of a triple overtime thriller leading into the WVU Notre Dame game with no three hour gap in between

Juice's fridge is stocked with Keystone Ice

4:05 pm

I'm gonna give Marquette the kiss of death here and go ahead and update the standings

This thing is well done

6:57 pm

It is upon us

Notre Dame WVU in the garden, the keystone ice is running low, we have gone to IC light

CJ took WVU, this does not bode well for Mountaineer backers

They are saying its Notre Dame home court but i think you may be suprised tonight

7:04 pm

3-2 ZONE

We're in the whites!

truck three!!!!

7:10 pm

Harangody looks like hes shaving points

RKelly just pleaser pared notre dame, that should cancel out CJs moosh

7:20 pm

Harangody has a black eye, why is no1 talking about, i think the native stopiak made a trip to NYC and let loose a haymaker in the players tunnel earlier today

Up 17-5, how long can this run really last

7:36 pm

Syndo put it right "This is good TV"

I complained about the st. jonhsn marquette game, but i cant complain about this

27-11, lookin like a final four team for the first time in two weeks

7:42 pm

the big east is getting close to losing its TV deal, the only game worth watching was freaking No. 16 DayPauls fray at noon

WVU is laying it to the Irish, that is no way to treat them just days shy of the of st pattys day madness

8:04 pm

looking more and more like a rematch against Pitt, please god do not get swept

9:14 pm

Huge win, the rematch is set, this case doesnt have a prayer

11:20 pm

cuse locks it up im updating!

Methadolical men against boys tail kicking by West Virginia

11:42 pm

Joe Girt and Juiece are about to face off in NHL09, the second day held true to form, all the favorites won, setting the stage for a mega thursday

12:19am

Its a wrap from day 2 of the tounry covergeage, big games tomorrow, JUICE owns the lead all too his lownssome

March 12

2:27 pm

Back at Juice's for the day, first game was a dud, didnt miss much, providence burst its bubble, my bracket is still alive

Louisville beating Providence was the only consensus pick in the pool so no spots change

I have CJ thinking I'm flying to denver in a few hours, so ill be working on that today

2:34 pm

down goes Kansas, that could have easily been Naybraska doing that

Might do a big XII bracket pool next year

March 13

12:39 am

had to turn the porn top on just to say that this is the first 4ot game i have ever watched in its entirety

standings will not be updated until before the semifinal games

12:47 pm

Back from juices, still basking in the chaos of the 6 overtime instant classic brought to you by tgi fridays and that one volkswagon commercial that played on a constant loop i guess becuase they just ran out of commercials and mcdunny and the crew needed a breather

Updated Standings below

A lot of people still in, including THE EEEERS

I'm still off work thanks to ebanks and ruoff

3:31pm

Life sucks without the big east tourney, a bunch of lackluster acc and big ten games are apparently going on as we wait for nova and the ville to tip later tonight

We now interupt the semi live fake blog so we can take a play by play look at the epic in the garden last night based on text messages

12:44 am

I'll take a million west virignia tomorrow

1:10am

mellos ghost is in the garden

-syndo

(i think by mellos ghost he meant west virginia reserve Dee Proby)

3:38 pm

West Virginia giving 6.5 tonight against a depeleted and exhausted syracuse team, it is more than wvu was favored against notre dame (5.5), i dont like the looks of it

Looking at the pool it is still anybody's ball game, unless your syndo

No one has WVU in the title game, so everyone that doesnt have syracuse winning that game has to cheer for WVU tonight
