our current bench production is concerning but we're only 6 games in, and a lot of our bench is new to the team. Farabello has been the biggest disappointment thus far, he needs to hit 3's to justify his minutes, because defensively, he will not measure up to these contender-level teams. Black...

he is an average defender on a good day. he will get beat by quicker guys, but he moves his feet and plays smart. and he makes up for his defensive shortcomings with his rebounding IMO.

exactly this. KenPom hated us for our close wins against cupcakes. the team did not find its groove and identity until the BYU win.

Creighton lurker, your guys' kind words are appreciated. This team will be good next year but we desperately need more shooting. Maybe through the transfer portal, maybe the freshmen improve tremendously (or Mason Miller is an immediate threat). Defense wins games but you need offense to win...

for what its worth, the University maintains that the FBI has not reached out to them in any way. That leads me to believe that there is nothing of substance on these recordings. Dawkins was an employee-handler of the same agency that worked with Justin Patton, and I believe he was trying to...

not really, its largely based on the logical thought that the devaluation of a P5 exclusive March Madness tournament is drastic enough to prevent the P5 schools from collectively doing so. They might make more money by excluding everyone else but that tv contract would be so much less, plus if...

fishing for a more convincing argument than the ones that have been presented

Viewership drops drastically if the P5 forms their own tournament. You take Wichita State, VCU, Butler, Dayton, UNLV, George Mason, and the appeal becomes so much worse, to the point where it will drastically hurt ratings. I am steadfast in that belief. It is nowhere close to the same dynamic as...

How does the p5 benefit from excluding the Big East in a future non-NCAA tournament? Don't respond with, "To kill the Big East", because I do not and will not buy that as a reasonable answer. If its about money, how does them excluding Nova and G'town make them more money?

A basketball tournament with only P5 schools will literally kill the sport. They're already having trouble with the ratings. You axe the Cinderella element from the tournament and you basically eliminate the casual sports fan's interest in March basketball. Seriously ask yourself, who will watch...

Can you elaborate? I made a lengthy post explaining why I don't think its feasible. Could you maybe address some of the points I and another poster have made? I sometimes have trouble sleeping at night, but a first round tournament matchup of Washington State and Georgia Tech would for sure put...

Creighton basketball fan here, been lurking around since news about Big 12 expansion came out. I have to say, I find it preposterous to think that Villanova will be resigned to the same fate as Incarnate Word if/when the P5 split from the NCAA occurs...I also find it preposterous to think that...
