Non-Big East Conference Tournament Thread

[Minicoop69]

So funny- Louisville Notre Dame Pittsburgh and BC are all playing in the cellar dweller opening around games today for the ACC —wish nothing but the worst for all of them especially BC —should never of left boys. And they’re playing in Barclays again ? they trying to copy the big east—what happened to Greensboro? Dumb

ND is not playing today. They are #2 in the league this year behind Puke. That goes to show you that this year ACC is god awful.

They can all burn for all I care

Oh god. Thought I saw them vs Louisville in 7 pm game tonight. They arent even ranked. I just assumed the were at bottom of acc again. My. B. Lol.

If you take the school names off of the BC - Pitt players' jerseys, you'd swear you are watching a mid-major game. Pretty pitiful.

Even more pitiful: one team is up by 20.

The ACC should play their tournament in DC.

Except Maryland left.

How many people in the stands?

How many people in the stands?

Difficult to tell because the house lighting is VERY low/almost completely dark. The "crowd" sounds like a gymnasium crowd you'd hear at a Y League game.

2023 is Greensboro and 2024 is DC.

BC demolished Pittsburgh by 20. Wonder if there was anyone watching to witness that train wreck

 

[storrsroars]

Weird caveat to today's 5 PM A-Sun Championship game. This sucks. Why can't new D1 teams be eligible???

Screw that. Tourney doesn't need more middling P5s.

 

[wheelerdog]

They should play it in Cameron Indoor. It's only fair since K made that conference what it is. And they should only allow Duke fans in the building.

Or not

Pitt pretty much stuck with Capel for next season. $15 mill buyout. Goes down to $5 in 23-24. With no recruits and likely defections to portal, next year might be worst Pitt season ever. And whoever follows Capel is gonna have one helluva rebuild challenge.

Our top sports radio show started their program with, "Remember back when Pitt fans concerned themselves with guys like Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, and Ben Gordon..."

its crazy how much that program dropped off. Hopefully the money and wherever their football program is at made up for it but. Those were fun games back in the old big east days with WVU and Pitt playing.

but Coach K wouldn't like that. He doesn't like having it be about him. He only announced his retirement a whole year in advance to not have the spotlight on him. He's just the greatest, most humble, not full of himself, coach there ever was.

The ACC destroyed the greatest basketball conference on the planet. It's hard to not hold a bit of a grudge against them.

Football did that.

It's okay. its a good opening act for the Big East Tournament tomorrow. The ACC tournament Opening Round is exactly that. The appetizer for the main course

They’re playing in the B gym. Sort of like being in the Greenville Coliseum.

 

[BugsyCT]

Let them burn.

Football rules the roost. By far and away the biggest error the ACC made was not admitting UConn to the ACC. UConn may not have brought much in football, but once in the league they certainly would have been competitive to at least a degree. But the real problem? Louisville doesn't belong in the ACC, long considered the best academic league in the Power 5. (Pac 12's top is great - their bottom is poor). Culturally - Louisville - a decidedly mediocre school - just doesn't belong. Even its physical appearance is that of a community college. And the scandals of U of L - sure - teams have them - look at UNC - but hookers for teenage players and paid runners for Adidas in federal court don't go down well at all. And now that their men's revenue sports teams are terrible, and may stay that way for a while, I am sure the ACC has regrets. A UConn - Syracuse rivalry would have survived, and even justified putting the tournament in Brooklyn, a not very desirable location for the conference. And UConn academically would have fit in very well with the ACC.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Great environment in Louisville for the Bellarmine game. It shows how dedicated the fanbase is, especially knowing that they can’t make the dance even if they win.

This is a case study in what can happen if you make the wrong hire. Pitt lost out on Hurley, hired Capel, and lord knows what the future holds for that program.

Except Maryland left.

makes more sense than brooklyn where the closest team is BCU. way too far from their southern atlantic core.

 

[Scoe]

CCSU put up a better fight against Bryant, Peter Kiss is all over the place.

 

[BugsyCT]

Bryant 36 Wagner 6 late 1st half.
