BIG EAST GAME PREVIEWS (1/17/2009)
The NBE Blogger was 1-0 in picking the winner straight-up, but a late basket by SJU with a second left pushed the ATS win to the favor of SJU and delivering a tough loss against the posted number for the NBE Blogger to swallow on Thursday. For the conference play to date, the record is 26-7 outright and just a poor 16-17 ATS.
Saturday is an exciting day in the Big East with five pivotal games on the schedule.
