Re: What's a HOYA ?
I love how the media trashes the Big Ten for being "slow and boring" when all the marquee games in the Big Least are 50-48, etc. Yeah, real exciting fast-paced basketball ya got there. 

Re: What's a HOYA ?
It doesn't seem that long ago when the Big East and Syracuse played aggressive ball---run and gun with alley oop passes and scoring over a 90-100 points a game even when losing.
Maybe if they went back to the 6 foul limit? Either that or these kids nowadays just can't cut it.

Re: What's a HOYA ?
I don't need to see non-stop scoring to be entertained. A good college basketball game from an offensive and defensive standpoint is typically played in the low to mid 70s. Lack of true bigs are hurting the game. Back to the basket players aren't being developed anymore, they're all tweeners these days. Nobody is taking high percentage shots anymore, everybody is settling for threes, and if you're off that night, then you're going to have an ugly final score.
Re: What's a HOYA ?
I'd put the Hoyas in the discussion for a #1 but I'm sure they'll end up as a #2...definitely not in the East since the regional site is the Verizon Center. If Gonzaga, Kansas, Duke/Miami and B1G champ are the potential #1...Georgetown, Florida, a 2nd B1G team and 2nd place ACC/3rd B1G as the #2 seeds.

Re: What's a HOYA ?
Ignore the Gtown hype until the win two games in the tournament. I've seen this too many times to care.
Re: What's a HOYA ?
A Hoya is generally a college basketball player with below average intelligence. What do I win?
