Best team in New England loses

[Peacefrog]

Put the Globe on distribution as well. Boston.com just put up a blog post titled "New England schools looking like NCAA teams."
The first line is "This is going to be a good year for New England in the NCAA Tournament." Besides the usual suspects, the post cites teams like BU, Vermont and Providence. No mention of UConn.

No mention of UConn because we probably fall under the "usual suspects" group.

I have an idea. Let's just never, ever bring up Goodman on this board again. The guy allows personal vendettas, whatever they may be, to blur his vision, which in result makes him poor (to put it nicely) at his job. Forget about his comments about Harvard. They have the potential to be pretty good. But saying UConn is not a top 25 team, and constantly pointing out worthless things while ignoring the team's greatest strengths to prove his point, is the most absurb thing I've heard from a college basketball "analyst" this year.

They probably don't count us because we're New York City's team, and you know how they feel about NYC in New England.

That was my take on it too. It's like whoa, PC? BU? Vermont? Umass? all of THOSE teams might be in the NCAAs??!!!

Uconn is a perennial NCAA Tourney team and successful one at that.

The Pac 12 may actually be one of the better conferences this year. Arizona is legit, UCLA is pretty good (though they haven't played anybody), Colorado and ASU are tournament teams, Stanford could crawl towards the bubble, and Oregon is top 20ish.

I agree, and people definitely notice an "East Coast Bias" out here and their claims seem to be true because come tournament time, Pac 12 teams often do very well at knocking off ACC/Old Big East teams.

I meant the term "usual suspects" poorly here. I was refering to UMass and Harvard as they are getting a lot of play to date.

Actually, is there a true usual suspects group in New England? Besides UConn?
