06:18 AM ET 11.20 | If they can get past the first round, Frank Haith's 17th-ranked Miami Hurricanes could have a huge date with former Big East rival Connecticut on Sunday night at the Paradise Jam. Wednesday, though, Miami already managed to get a leg up on Jim Calhoun's Huskies, winning a heated recruiting battle with UConn and Pittsburgh for one of the nation's best high school shooting guards, New York City star Durand Scott. The 6-4, 187-pound senior at Manhattan Rice High School made his announcement on SNY Television and said he picked UM because it was the best fit.

I didn't realize Miami was ranked in BB. I don't follow it as much as football, but congrats to Frank for turning this program into a winning one.

I often wondered why Hawaii isn't the reigning champs in all sports.

Big East basketball is usually a solid conference. i am yet to be disappointed and I think UCONN is not going to let anyone down. Even though I am a KU fan, I think UCONN has a good chance to match up with UNC. I am saying this now...but as most college sports go, anything can happen and I am going to enjoy watching this upcoming season.

So I am watching the Pitt-Xavier game scratching my head...How in the hell has Pitt made it as far as they have in the tournament...I mean honestly, I'm not a basketball fan but they have looked horrible since the tourny has started. I do have to hope for them because they are a Pittsburgh(hometown)team. They just look real sloppy top me. I am not sure what the hype is about with this team...Someone clue me in. I wish them the best but I think I am gonna stick with football...Then again I could hope that the Pirates win the world series....Uhhhh yeah right...
