Big day in the Big East yesterday, with two upsets and one extreme result:
1. Villanova's infamous go-slow style gave the Wildcats an upset win over Notre Dame. "We knew we could not win unless it was low-scoring," said coach Peretta. The box score doesn't make it look all that slow-- more like good defense, with a lot of missed shots.
2. DePaul took out Rutgers in Chicago with a last-minute trey from China Threatt. The game had fewer possessions than Villanova's, or at least a lot fewer shot attempts: for RU, Brittany Ray tallied 20, but Kia Vaughn scored nothing at all.
3. UConn administered a ridiculous beatdown in Cincinnati: the home team trailed 39-7 at the half. The showing (though not the win) might have surprised UConn fans who remembered the teams' tough match from two years ago.
