It's here , The matchup I've been looking forward since the brackets were set

Georgetown vs BC a battle of former Big East Rivals.

I've always had mixed feelings on BC leaving the Big East for the ACC. A  Great move for the football team (more TV exposure ,easier to recruit),not so for basketball.

 I miss Big East hoops . this is in no way a knock on the quality of ACC teams. I happen to think that the ACC is  the toughest conference. it 's just a different brand of basketball .  I miss the old rivalries with Uconn , PC , and especially Georgetown. those games were always PHYSICAL! hard fought battles regardless of either teams record

Back in the early 80's those Patrick Ewing led squads and Boston College became bitter rivals.  Although the Hoyas won most of the games , I have to give the edge to BC in the trash talking department. I can remember when the Hoyas would come to Boston , BC fans made up signs that read "Patrick kant reed " in reference to Ewings alledged lack of academic prowess.  

I'm looking forward to a good old fashioned Big East slugfest saturday.

Say, doesn't Ewings kid play for the Hoyas?

 I wonder if that placard is still in the attic?

             Have you seen jr's grades ?
