Two big events took place over the weekend, causing a spike of interest in the offseason doldrums:

• Greg Monroe was drafted by the Detroit Pistons as the #7 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. He will join former teammate DaJuan Summers in Motor City.
• The Big East conference has announced the 2010-11 season conference matchups, and the Hoyas will be facing Syracuse, St. John’s and Cincinnati twice this upcoming year. They will face Louisville, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia at home, while Connecticut, Notre Dame, and Villanova will only be road games. Check out the full list at GUHoyas.com.
