Big East: Day 2 Review

By Grant Tunkel - May 23, 2007

The theme of Day 2 was clearly pitching, as we saw probably 4 dominant pitching performances. It started with a pair of Villanova arms that held Notre Dame to only 2 runs, then a pair of Huskies that allowed only 2 Pittsburgh runs, then a trio of Louisville pitchers that held the Big East's best offense to only 1 run, and finally a pair of USF pitchers who shutout St. John's.

Two games will be played tomorrow, with both contests featuring teams that have 1 loss. The first game, at 4 pm, will see Rutgers take on Villanova, and the second game at 7 pm, will see St. John's take on Connecticut.

Interestingly enough, the 1 and 2 seeds could be eliminated tomorrow.

The winners of today's last 2 games - Louisville and USF - have the day off, and will play Friday at 10 am and 1 pm, respectively.

And Touching the Bases will be there to cover all the action as we move into day 3 of 5 at the Big East tournament in Brooklyn, New York.
