8 Big East teams hit 20 wins

The Big East finishes with 8 teams with 20+ wins, and the finale is a shocker.   Unranked Louisville gets their 20th victory with a 10 point win over #1 Syracuse.  Kyle Kuric scored all of his career-high 22 points in the second half, and the Cardinals stunned No. 1 Syracuse 78-68 on Saturday before a record crowd of 20,135.

 It was the final game there before Louisville moves into a new downtown arena. 

The Cardinals won both their games against top ranked Syracuse whose only other loss this season came at the hands of Pittsburgh.  It goes to show you how deep on talent this conference is that a team ranked 6th in the conference can not only beat the conference leader, but do it when said conference leader is ranked #1 nationally.

Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Villanova are all deadlocked at 13-5 in conference play with Marquette, Lousivlle, Notre Dame and Georgetown as the other 20 win teams that all should be going to the tournament.

Syracuse suffered its first loss away from the Carrier Dome this season (11-1). Scoop Jardine finished with a team-high 20 points and Wes Johnson added 18 in the loss.

Let the March madness begin !!
