Following two games in which he averaged 20 PTS and 7 AST per contest, Jordan Theodore was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for the first time this season. Joining Theodore are UConn's Shabazz Napier, Providence's Vincent Council, Notre Dame's Jack Cooley, and Louisville's Kyle Kuric. UConn's Andre Drummond was the Rookie of the Week, while West Virginia's Kevin Jones was Player of the Week. Also, for the first time this season, Herb Pope did not receive a nod to the Weekly Honor Roll. The Pirates return to action Wednesday against #1 Syracuse at the Carrier Dome at 7 PM.

Former Pirate, Jeremy Hazell, was added to the Phoenix Suns preseason roster on Sunday. Tonight, the Suns are hosting a team scrimmage for season ticket holders and streaming the action live on their website. Hazey will be wearing #2 this pre-season as he competes for a roster spot. Follow the link above to watch the game at 8:30pm. Best of luck, Jeremy! Bottoms!

From Andy Katz: "The Hall of Fame made the smart move of going from Springfield, Mass., to Connecticut's Mohegan Sun for its non-conference tournament...The event had a huge lift with Kentucky as its marquee school last month. But the Hall of Fame is now getting a field worth circling going forward. The four main teams in 2012 will be Ohio State, Washington, Seton Hall and Rhode Island."

Click the above link for Jerry Carino's transcript of Kevin Willard's press conference from Seton Hall's media day. I will update Jerry's thoughts that will be coming in version 2.0 when he updates his blog. Be sure to check out the transcript. "This group has done a great job of setting a new tone for the basketball program. Last year we defended and we got after it, but we just had so many issues off the court that really stopped us from being a good team."

Hey guys- I'll be attending Big East Media Day today for WSOU, and while I'm there, I'll be tweeting as usual.

Gotta keep 'em in suspense, I always say. Go Pirates!
