Boston Collegevwas actually pretty good in their early years in the ACC. Their problems have more to do with mismanagement and poor coaching hires than anything. They went to the NCAA tournament 2005-2009 I think. After that it was almost like they lost interest. On the football side they...

They were never going to be a 4. The NBE wasn’t good enough. Sure they won a bunch of games but you don’t get lots of credit for beating that group. And our losses to Marquette and Creighton, 2 really bad teams, plus their blowout loss to us 2 weeks ago , devalued the Tournament win. Just...

Fixed it for you. 😁

My thought is we apparently dodged a bullet with Demary in a meaningless exhibition game. We were a 2 going in 2 going out. Johnnie’s were a 5 going in. 5 coming out. It meant nothing. Oh and it absolutely was a home game for them. A couple of their players even talked about MSG as their home...

One of my top reasons for hating this tournament is it’s one more chance for a top guy to get hurt. Especially because you have to play multiple games in a row which teams don’t do all season.

The tech seemed over the top. I don’t normally agree with you on officiating but that was egregious. We lack physical players. We lack depth. As I said before Hurley love smaller point guards. I don’t get it. Diara, last year the kid from Philly, Smith. Diara was the only one to work out. We...

Just got home. What a great game. Great plays by both sides. We made more. The goalie interference call was awful. Not even close. Even the BU guys sitting next to me commented that we got screwed. Great it got overturned.

I think DePaul played in it one year. That should put it in perspective.

it is not a conspiracy. It is a decision to market the league as rough, tough, thuggish play conference. UCONN plays defense like that too. You almost have to, but not offense. So we get these weird results.

I was driving last night and heard an interview with the ex ProJo guy who is now does a NBE blog. He was talking about officiating in the league vs the NCAA and how other refs don’t allow the “the kind of defense they play in the Big East”. The it hurts a lot of teams but might help UConn...

They also finished 6th in Hockey East. This is a long was from a vintage BU hockey club. Not that they can’t win of course. The way we score goals if they can get 2 they have a high probability of pulling it out. I heard someone say that goalies have been playing lights out against us. The...

It either goes there or to a guy who’ s seat is getting warm so he gets votes to save his job. I guess the alternative is just give it to the coach of the league champ. He obviously did a good job.

I think this has the potential to be a very good hire. If we can have 10 straight winning seasons and be talked about as a potential playoff team sometimes that will be pretty sweet even if we never actually get selected.

So this is what I don’t get about the UNC/Virginia to either the Big10 or SEC. Football. UNC last won an ACC title in 1980. Jimmy Carter was president. Virginia shared it in 1995 and before that 1989. Their last outright title was , well, never. So the thinking is the Big wants somebody to...

Play on in the Big East!
