short attention span's guide to uc-nova

I was on deadline, so i didnt get to the post-game press conference, but i have to feel devan downey acted alone on uc's crucial next-to-last possession... hicks has to have the ball there... and the charge on downey was legit... don't ever recall 5/3 being any louder than in the last minute thursday night... nova has a very nice club... guards are crucial in march and nobody has 2 better than foye and ray, but you have to wonder why lowry was the guy with the ball mostly down the stretch... uc needs to beat either seton hall or wvu to feel OK about its madness chances... a question is, how many big east teams get in? top 4 are a lock, then there are marquette, georgetown, uc, seton hall and even syracuse... do they take 6? 7? 8?

coaching wheel... paul hewitt is up, karl hobbs is down, skip prosser treads water... kevin stallings very much in the loop, mike montgomery currently not a factor... and of course AK will be seriously considered... he was never out of the loop, as so many have suggested... given how the season has gone and the potential to mend fences w/fans, boosters and alumni, AK is very much in the running...

as James Spader said to William (Denny Crane) Shatner at the end of Boston Legal last week: "Live big.''

Live big, my friends.
