Rugged Big East Action Underway
VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Welcome courtside to the Pavilion on the campus of Villanova University.
The Big East season is definitely underway as Villanova and Pittsburgh are battling for every rebound, boxing out for every inch of space and fighting for every loose ball. Hey, that's life in the Big East.
Both teams got off to sluggish starts and the game is tied at 8 with just under 12 minutes remaining.
Neither team could seem to get any momentum, but that's to be expected in this rugged conference.
Villanova's freshmen are learning quickly about how much different conference play is compared to the weaker nonconference matchups.
Corey Fisher hit a quick layup and Malcolm Grant drained a 3-pointer to tie the game at 8.
The Panthers -- minus starters Mike Cook and Levance Fields -- are having a very difficult time on offense. They don't seem to have a whole lot of flow.
Still, many Big East games come down to the wire and this one just may follow that pattern.
Keep checking back for live updates.
