Exactly! What matters is who is wins the last game of the year. And it matters exactly zero what one’s Kpom, RPI, NET or any other model projects. What matters is who has the most points.

Which is utterly meaningless at this point in the season. Do you know what they call a guy who wins an Olympic gold medal with the slowest time in years his event? An Olympic Champion. Another way to look at it, who had the top NET rating going into the 2023 NCAA Tournament? UConn was 8th...

It’s a long season. And sometimes teams lose a bit of focus. The 2024 UConn team that was so dominant in the tournament lost 3 regular season game. Kansas, Creighton who blew them out of the building and inexplicably Seton Hall who also beat them pretty soundly. I don’t know how good...

You’re just mad ‘ cause I blamed you for the hockey team loss last night! 😉. Won tonight 5-1.

My father’s saying was that there is no need get all those things done today. There is always tomorrow.

When Villanova beat Wisconsin Nelson and his followers thought the badgers were the Michael Jordan Bulls. Michigan has looked like the best team up until the last week or so. Struggled against Penn State and lost today. I still think they are really good but teams rarely go unbeaten. And...

Always remember in 1999 Duke won the metric national championship. I forget which one even gave them an award. I’ll take the one we won, thanks.

He doesn’t. And he is right. Most important metric is W-L. The rest is a bunch of nonsense to make guys who have never been competitive athletes feel important. I don’t like the way we seem to play to the level of our competition, but again, winning isn’t the most important thing, it’s the...

First off I blame waquoit. Way to go!!! I thought we mostly sleep walked through 2 periods. And let in at least 2 soft goals. Took foolish penalties. Then made the furious comeback but too little too late. This was a bad loss to a very mediocre club.

You do know he has been gone for almost 10 years, right? And his last few years were something of a disappointment. 3 losing seasons out of the last 4, something like that

Right. I mean 30 minutes to Hartford, an hour to Boston to say nothing of Manchester and the shopping there. Don’t know if you’ve ever been to Iowa State where there is literally corn growing outside the dorms. This middle of nowhere thing is, I think, largely a northeastern fiction. Mansfield...

Well except for the national championship they are almost the same program. Yikes.

You missed the point. They don’t care. Harvard’s alumni base has deep pockets, too. Both use their access to money for things other than building basketball programs. DWFHoya and I are saying the same thing.

Georgetown is philosophically much closer to an Ivy League school than a major college basketball school. And they’ve been bad for a long time. Recently alumni have little interest in the program because it really wasn’t worth following. Lastly alums leave town for other parts of the country...

Even if it’s true, they are lacking in the rest of the lineup. I think people are reading way too much into a game where we were pretty unfocused for 30 minutes and they played way over their heads. Then at crunch time PC panicked and we did not. Great job by the guys in blue. And as I said St...
