Big East fields a few dangerous teams
The Big East regular season came to a close with more than its fair share of fireworks.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs. Notre Dame clinched the regular-season title with a three-game sweep at Connecticut, but it secured the crown only after Alexia Clay's grand slam helped fuel a five-run rally in the top of the seventh in a 14-11 win in Sunday's series finale in Storrs.
And that wasn't even the weekend's most dramatic ending in the conference.
The Fighting Irish needed that final win to remain ahead of second-place DePaul because of drama of a different sort in the Windy City. DePaul came away with a forfeit win after South Florida coach Ken Eriksen pulled his team from the field in the second inning. (The Blue Demons led the Bulls 1-0.) A Big East spokesperson said the conference was reviewing the incident and declined further comment, while South Florida issued the following statement:
"USF has informed the Big East Conference staff of the concerns related to the safety and welfare of its team members, which led to a decision to leave the playing field. USF will have no further comment until the conference office has reviewed and addressed the matter."
All of which is to say that this week's conference tournament in Louisville, Ky.,Compact fluorescent lights have solved LED lighting supplier many of the problems associated with traditional filament light bulbs. should have its fair share of intrigue.
The rumor fodder aside, the timing of the embarrassing mess in Chicago is unfortunate for the conference, putting the spotlight on that sideshow instead of on a league quietly having perhaps its best season on the field, a season that may well conclude with a record five teams advancing to the NCAA tournament. DePaul is the only Big East team to reach the Women's College World Series in recent memory (Connecticut made the trip in 1993), but it's a league with momentum. Off the field, South Florida opened a new stadium to rave reviews this season,Unlike compact cfl bulbs fluorescent light bulbs, LED based light bulbs provide a variety of lighting options- including the ability to provide a wide range of light, which allows them to act as a proper replacement light bulb Notre Dame did the same in 2008 and Louisville's role as repeat host for the conference tournament speaks to the quality of its facilities. On the field, the teams that call those parks home are doing their best to live up to the surroundings.
"I think we can compete," Eriksen said in April. "The actuality of it is not just competing; the actuality of it is winning. I still think we're in that competitive state right now, as a conference. I do think when you put us into the NCAA tournament, you tend to see things that people don't realize and you get a lot of W's.

But we've got to find a consistency right now as a conference and the continuation of the [improved] scheduling from top to bottom."
In that respect, Syracuse represents the future aspirations of the conference. Unlike Notre Dame or the recent transplants from other conferences (the four schools Eriksen mentioned are a combined 86-93 in the NCAA tournament, although not all those games came while representing the Big East), Syracuse is not a program with much history -- it played its first game in 2000 -- or a stadium to brag about. But under fifth-year coach Leigh Ross, it gradually has reached a point where it can stand toe-to-toe with the league's traditional powers, as it did by wrapping up the No.However, the marketing muscle of Philips led light lighting could give Philips LED business an advantage. 3 seed in the conference tournament by sweeping three games from Louisville to close the regular season with a program-best 41 wins.
