We are nearing the end of the Big East conference as we know it, but that hasn’t stopped the teams at Madison Square Garden from putting on one last incredible tournament as the teams fight towards the 2013 NCAA tournament. On Friday, the two semifinal matches went down. Syracuse and Georgetown matched up in the first semifinal that took us to overtime.

It was a heated contest that ended with Syracuse taking down the Hoyas in overtime by a 58-55 score. Taking down the No. 1 seed in the tournament was exactly the boost the Orange needed on the way to the finals.

In the second semifinal match up, Louisville was able to take down Notre Dame to set up their finals meeting against Syracuse.

Louisville did exactly what they were supposed to do as the No. 2 seed in the tournament and will now face the team that knocked off No. 1 with an automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA tournament on the line.
