Anyone who was concerned about the officials who worked the St. John's game working a game their team is going to play can forget about it now...

Source: Officials withdraw from tourney

Quote:The three officials who worked Wednesday's St. John's-Rutgers game have voluntarily withdrawn from the Big East tournament in the "best interests of the tournament and their colleagues," a conference source told ESPN.

Wow, that is great...and unexpected.

IMO the NCAA needs to hire more, younger officials, and get rid of the dinosaurs that currently work so many poorly officiated games...

Our chances vs. ND just increased significantly.

For their own safety they better get out of Town. I wouldn't want the crew from Bada Bing to pay me a visit.

It might surprise you that Notre Dame fans hated those two refs and thought that they made a lot of bad calls against the Irish.....

The ND basketball fans on The Pit (basketball board at NDNation.com) are celebrating:

I think the entire college basketball world is pleased about this, Terry...

Terry, I agree that it helps both of our teams. I think it'll help us more, due to the fact that our reputation is that of an overly physical team. We have a LOOOONG history with those guys, especially Higgins.

But, with those guys out of the way, I'm looking for a great game, regardless of who wins

Not if Flat Top Driscoll gets the spot. Did the WVU game last night. He is about the same just younger.
