ESPN's Andy Katz says that the BE presidents are expected to meet with finalists for the commissioner's job next week and that WCC commissioner Jamie Zaninovich might be a strong contender. Hmmmm, I wonder if there are any BE athletic directors with strong ties to Zaninovich & the WCC....
So, that's a thing.
Prices are $19 and $15. Don't just stand there, go invade the Resch Center!
I provided some answers about Jae Crowder for some questions posed by the SB Nation Dallas Mavericks blog, Mavs Moneyball. Check it out!
Courtesy of GoMarquette.com. The freshman forward had shoulder surgery yesterday morning after suffering an injury in an open gym session since the season ended. It's the same shoulder that he injured back in December. Man, the only breaks this guy catches are ACTUAL BREAKS. Best of luck on your rehabilitation, Juan!
Pico over at RitG organized a bunch of us Big East guys into talking about some end of the year awards. If you click here, you can read about us talking about the best player and disappointments on the teams we write about.
The Big East regular season has concluded, the tiebreakers have been broken, and the tournament is set to go on Tuesday. Marquette finishes alone in 2nd place and waits until the quarterfinals for their first game, where they will get the winner of (Providence/Seton Hall) vs Louisville.
Why should Williams have to apologize for three seconds of a dance that may have taunted the same rabid fans who had to be told to stop throwing things on the court during the game? If anything, he should've apologized for not taunting them more. If I were him, I would've grabbed my crotch and made a duck face at the crowd while I danced all over the midcourt logo. I would've walked to the announcers' table for a postgame interview and told Bill Raftery that "If the fans have a problem with what I just did, I've got two words for them." Then I would've dropped the mic, turned to the student section, and unleashed a ferocious "suck it" crotch chop. Sure, if Williams did this it probably would've gotten him killed, but at least it would've actually been worth the uproar that his three-second dance caused.
From voting by the SB Nation blogs as always. It turns out that Cardiac Hill is a bunch of haters.
Warrior Brad was kind enough to answer some questions that The UConn Blog had about today's game.
