BET scenarios

[BigFanCT]

So cringe. Ah yes- things that other states don't have. A bridge near water, pizza and beer, dancing in a club and graffiti (?). Oh look- it looks like you can do aerobic yoga in CT too! What a game changer.

They should show the (little) items that CT does have to offer that other states may not. A shot of a crazy UConn atmosphere at Gampel would actually have been a nice touch. Show the Pepe's Pizza sign, not just a shot of people eating pizza. Show a train sign that points to Boston one way, New York the other. Things people actually may consider CT for.

This is an anti-post/handle

Great Pick!




Seriously though they should've just used the 40 Hallmark channel Xmas movies that were shot in either Essex or Chester in the last 10 years. The one thing I hate worse than waiting in traffic for the rip off essex steam train to pass by, is not being able to get to lunch because of a chick channel movie production.

Well he's a much better coach than your coach, but OK.

Your seriously joking right, Cooley is up for National coach of the year, Hurley is up for biggest clown of the year!!

Trying to figure out if you're like 14 or 60.

No I was serious, but your insight made me realize I was being silly.

You're joking right? One of the most anticipated BET's in years and it doesn't interest you? You do know that winning the BET would help our resume incredibly right?

The BET interests me. The exact bracket and combination/order of teams that we would have to beat in order to win it does not.

Marquette/Seton Hall in the first round, either one would be fine.
Most likely Providence or Nova in the semis and then the other one in the finals.

It doesn't matter what everyone else's seed is.

All that matters is winning those games.

Upsets:

-Xavier over Providence
-Marquette over Creighton
-UConn over Villanova

One other upset that I think is possible is for DePaul to upset St. John's in the first round, but I think St. John's will still beat them because of home court advantage. But still It doesn't really matter because Villanova can man-handle either of them in the 2nd round.

Besides those 3 (maybe 4?) upsets, everything should go as planned. Time to get our 8th title.

Agreed. UCONN travels so well because there is literally nothing to do at home / in state.

Terrible take. There's plenty to do in CT. Lifelong resident here who has never had a problem finding things to. UConn travels well because it is a passionate fan base with more disposable income than most.

And is about the only game in town. Nowhere else to place focus they have that advantage. For opposing situation look to SoCal (region not a particular school) and the difficulty keeping fans engaged.

Spent a good chunk of my life in CT as well. Proud that I talk with no accent! (no MA or NY influence in the way I speak) Point being, all these "things you can do" can be done just about anywhere in the Northeast in particular. Thankfully MA, RI and NY are so close. I don't know anywhere other than Mystic / Westport for a couple days that appeal as a destination. Maybe the casinos, but that draw is winding down for out of staters with options in their own states growing quickly. No question not having competing professional sports, etc. helps the fanbase bigtime. Same deal in Providence. Nobody cared much about BC basketball even prior to the ACC move. Too many competing priorities, schools, pro sports.

Cooley is the BE COY, this didn’t age well for you LOL

Was there ever any question? I assume he will win all the coach of the year awards. And if there was an award for losing to Rhode Island, UMass, Penn, Long Beach State, and College of Charleston in the last 5 years he’d win that one too.

BTW you lost to Rhode Island and UMass twice.

 

[Willbball]

4 seed, your a 5 seed… beat you heads up and regular season champs at 25-5!… we are simply better than you this season, deal with it!

All your predictions were wrong LOL!!

Can this clown go away? Can't wait to watch PC flame out in the first round like always.
