Let’s be honest. It’s still poop. 3 bids to tourney with 2 in same region is not ‘Power’…. Anyone that thinks this league without UConn is vastly different from A-10 is delusional. Sure Nova, G’Town and St Johns have history. But it’s not translating to today. Only St Johns is actively...

It did happen…. Surprised it hasn’t gotten more legs.

Not sure she deserves fan fare. Big East is still weak and its stature has fallen against other BB leagues. The league needs a visionary that can take advantage of the leagues assets, which Val did not do.

I would like to add Dayton and St Louis to Big East now. We need more depth in the league. Gonzaga and St Marys was a miss IMO. Instead of being proactive and going after some key adds, it seems BE leadership is simply laying low and hoping nothing else happens to further weaken league.

It’s such a different world for those that follow FB and BB… In BB, UConn is an alpha program. Someone leaves, resources are in place to get a replacement. FB, we develop talent and other programs poaching us. Like candy from a baby as they say… Disappointed to see this kid leave. Maybe...

Yeah…. I think this is true. But, I don’t think the staff sold him a bill of goods. We have had a process here with a sort of apprenticeship approach. Sanogo, Clingan, Sampson, Reed, and then Reibe. Next year would have probably been a dual role and then he would be the next big. I do...

That’s a hindsight take… was UConn even invited to join bb onlies? hardly a crazy concept to join similar schools that played BB and FB, especially with UConn’s recent inclusion in BCS and efforts to get back there. UConn could hardly compete in AAC as it struggled to keep up with coaching...

There were several reports that suggested UConn would have been the worst team to win for ‘Vegas’… The line does move, but that doesn’t mean the casinos break even. There were also a lot of bets made in the futures market that weren’t impacted by game spread. I made a bet in Nov for UConn to...

Michigans defense was the difference. They blocked shots, were physical, and just disrupted too many shots. Nothing was easy. Agree on all comments about Cadeau. Heady player, but annoying to watch.

Asking because I don’t really know wagler’s skill set. Is he similar to fears? I thought we did a good job of limiting fears ability to hurt us. He got some points, and had his assists. But we were able to contain him from taking over. Is Wagler much different than fears?

Classic attempt to get subscribers. UConn is a hot name now, so everyone is pumping the brand for themselves.

Probably worth a thread. There have been quite a few of these last second wins in the tourney.

We all loved the Ollie hire until we didn’t. Makes sense for them. He had some recent success. He’s family.

Ironically, Boston is known for being a ‘college town’. Right now BC is in a deep trough athletically. I can see why they would want someone like Murray. If Luke is getting the commitments he needs, he could be the one to turn that program around. I’m sure Dan is providing his input here as...

If Mullins continues to shoot the midrange I’m fine with that.
