Gosh!!!! KO is our man!!!

 

[ASweet3781]

Can someone tell Jon Rothstein to zip up his pants when it comes to SMU.

SMU is a nice little team. Who was great at home. And AWFUL on the road. Losses to USF, Temple, and first round AAC exit to Houston. It's why they were an NIT team.

The vote was basically tied. I don't think that's a crime.

I was really concerned we were garnering too much hype before Rothstein stepped up and brought us all back down to Earth by crowning SMU as his personal favorite in the AAC. DOOOOOOMED

St. John's would be nice but PC? might as well schedule seton hall or depaul

PC won the BE tournament last year, to Johnny that's worth a Larry O'Brien trophy or two.

PC won the BE tournament last year, to Johnny that's worth a Larry O'Brien trophy or two.

That tournament was pretty much teams from the middle of the pack of the Old Big East playing for a trophy.. playing PC would probably end up on espn3 if lucky
