Message: [QUOTE="Zissou, post: 2136725, member: 7920"] Just an update for those that have not been following college basketball: After Pitt and Cuse left you, UConn and Nova have each won a National Championship. Pitt, the team that has not gone to the Final Four since joining the Big East in the early 80s, lost Jamie Dixon and hired Kevin Stallings as the replacement. Pitt fans are up in arms that they have lost their recruiting base in the NE corridor because they are now in the ACC and not playing in DC, Philly, and NY. They have more money, but that's about it. I don't miss Pitt and don't care about playing them. They might be the next BC. Seton Hall has become the Pitt of the oBE. They are competitive, sometimes a bit nasty, and pull off some big wins. The only difference is that the Hall has competed for a National Championship in the modern era. I would like to continue playing Cuse. JB was against the move to the ACC. Cuse was a factor in the ACC moving their tournament to Brooklyn and clearly misses MSG. It was an attempt at some NYC footprint, but was overshadowed by the Big East in MSG. Jimmy just played a Jay Leno and rescinded his retirement deal and the previously announced transition to Hopkins. Hopkins left in response. I don't think Pitt or Cuse is more relevant since leaving the Big East. Pitt is surely much less. The Big East placed 7 in the Tourney this year. I'll take X, Butler, and Creighton over Pitt, BC, Rutgers, VT, and WVU. The alliance loss regrets I have are UConn, Ville, and Cuse. [/QUOTE]
