Villanova's Big East Schedule

Villanova will play Pittsburgh, Providence, South Florida and Syracuse twice each during the 2012-13 Big East men's basketball season.

The conference on Thursday announced each team's home and away matchups for the season. With West Virginia having withdrawn from the Big East, each of the 15 teams in the conference will play four opponents twice and 10 opponents once to maintain the 18-game league schedule.

In addition to two matchups each against Pitt, Providence, South Florida and Syracuse, the Wildcats will have home games against Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Rutgers and St. John's. Villanova's road opponents will be Cincinnati, Connecticut, DePaul, Notre Dame and Seton Hall.

The conference said that its decisions regarding repeat opponents "are driven by fairness and competitive balance within the parameters of television selections and geographic rivalries."

The full 2012-13 conference schedule will be announced at a later date.

NBA Finals Game 5

Just an opinion here.

Hope I'm wrong, but...

Heat-3.5(Winner)

Thought this would be a long series.

But the Heat are in control.

And I know they don't wanna go back to OKC.

Best Wishes!!

You could see this coming a mile away.

Surprised this line did not steam.

Game 4 took it all out of the Thunder.

They really had nothing tonight.

Congrats to The NBA Champion Miami Heat!!

Hopefully everybody will get off LeBron's back.

Let's try this tonight.

Thunder+3.5(loss)

Everything is on the line tonight for OKC.

Going down 3-1, the series would be all over, IMO.

So, expect max effort from the Thunder here.

I've felt this would be a long series.

And it should be 2-2 after tonight.

The Thunder came up small when it mattered.

Seemed like only Westbrook really came to play.

He had a great game, but got no help.

Harden was brutal, and nobody else stepped up.

James, Wade, and Chalmers played big for Miami.

Get the bubbly ready, party on South Beach soon.

I think Miami gives it their best tonight.

But, I'm not convinced that will be enough.

The Thunder are for real.

So, be careful with this one.

Best Wishes!!


Heat brought their "A" game like I thought.

But the Thunder showed what they are made of.

They made a valiant comeback.

They had a shot to tie near the end.

And if it gets to overtime........

This is looking like a 7 game series.

NBA Finals Game 1

I know this may be obvious, popular, square, etc., but I can't resist.

Thunder-5(Winner)

Let's keep it simple and not over-think this one.

The Heat were pushed to the limit by Boston.

You can't tell me that series did not take a toll on them.

And I don't think 2 days of rest will be enough to recover.

Which was really 1 day off and a travel day.

On the other side, we have Oklahoma City.

They have had 5 days of rest since dismissing the Spurs.

And the Thunder have arguably the loudest of home crowds.

It's like a college atmosphere. And they play with good energy.

OKC is 34-7 SU at Home, including 8-0(5-3 ATS) in the Playoffs.

They have depth and role players are always more comfy at home.

Watching the veteran Spurs fall apart was ultra-impressive.

The Heat will be in the eye of the Thunder Storm tonight.

Lean to the Under at the apex.

Best Wishes!!


It looked like the Thunder had a little rust on.

The Heat came out blazing, and built a nice lead.

But Durant, Westbrook, and Co wore them down.

They took control in the 3rd, and put it away in the 4th.

Was it me, or was the refs carrying the Heat.

Seems like they got the vast majority of close calls.

This could have easily been a 20 point win, IMO.

Anyway, Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

I watched the Yankees-Tigers game and 2 things stuck out.

First, Miguel Cabrera is a beast!!

The "Baby Faced Assassin" hit 2 bombs to dead center.

He may be my favorite player in the Majors.

The second is how misleading baseball scoring can be.

Jose Valverde comes in with a 3-2 lead in the 9th.

He was very wild hitting 2 batters and walking in the tying run.

Somehow he escaped after blowing the save.

And he left to a chorus of boos.

But he got the win after the Tigers rallied.

Just doesn't seem right given how bad he was.

That's baseball though, lol.
