Big East basketball week in review Jan.28th-30th
Scoreboard for Monday, Jan.28th
UConn 69, Louisville 67
The Huskies prevail on Big Monday behind a big night from guard A.J. Price, who poured in 20 points. UConn pounded Louisville on the glass, winning the rebounding advantage 40-29. Very uncharacteristic night for Louisville. The Cardinals jacked up 33 3-point attempts, connecting on 11; Juan Palacios and Terrence Williams combined to hoist 17 3’s. UConn played with a short bench, due to suspensions to Doug Wiggins and Jerome Dyson last week. The frontcourt duo of Stanley Robinson and Jeff Adrien combined for 28 points and 20 rebounds to help UConn to win their 4th straight.
Tuesday, Jan.29th - #17 Marquette 62, South Florida 52
With Jerel McNeal and Dominic James struggling, Lazar Hayward scored 23 points and Wesley Matthews dropped in 16 to help Marquette past South Florida. McNeal was held to six points, James managed only three for the Golden Eagles. In a surprising twist, (not really) Kentrell Gransberry turned in another double-double with 15 points and 15 rebounds, but the Bulls were unable to overcome an eight-point halftime defict.
