Big East Summer Capsules: South Florida Bulls

mlemaire — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:15:23 +0000

That game lasted well over two hours as the officials used their whistles to take all the rhythm out of what was a very good game. James Breeding doesn’t have the best reputation across the conference for the [...]

Syracuse A Cut Above: With wins over Villanova and Providence this week, Syracuse has moved its record to 19-0 (6-0), equaling the best start in school history (1999-2000).

A Look Back

The Big East had been questioned coming into the season. I did it myself. They didn’t have their usual firepower up top.
