[AntG168]

Agreed. We were and are very lucky as a fan base. We hit the lottery with Calhoun/Geno x The Big East. Thanks to you guys we hit the lotto again by being invited back. Thank You. Now F PC haha

When has PC been good? In the last 24 years PC has won exactly 1 NCAA tournament game (by one point) over a #9 seed and then got waxed by UNC. they won one BET, again when it was the watered down version of today (Except no Uconn even). Two first round NBA draft picks in 24 years, neither was ever more than a back of the rotation guy for a couple years. Its the epitome of a mid-major program.

Wow. I don't remember that one at all and don't remember the players.

 

[Orc]

Are we PCs superbowl?

You can watch through the CBS Sports app but have to sign in with a TV provider

I find it a sad statement of affairs that Providence is even considered a rival.

yes it's truly a sad state of affairs for cuse, bc, pitt, and louisville these days.... PC would crush all of them.

Now but if we were all in the same conference again, PC would struggle. The reason that BC, Pitt, and Syracuse have struggled is because they are playing in a southern league which results in a diminished ability to recruit. It is the same reason we struggled in the American in both football and basketball and why Temple is struggling as well.

But we ain’t. Too bad so sad.

I'm tempted to bet on Providence plus the points, but think I'm gonna pass. Marquette getting 5 at Seton Hall on the other hand...

I will I think. Providence may not win, but they'll keep it close.

 

[auror]

Just checked some of the on/off stats and the team without either one is fine, but without both is a catastrophe. -19 net rating over 40 possessions, compared to +17 with at least 1 (+22 with both). And this is garbage time filtered out.

A lot of it was Marquette game, but also some Fairfield, St Johns, and Georgetown.

For me, this line assumes a healthy Bryce Aiken. Is he cleared to play (after concussion)?

It's also a payback game for the Hall at home.

He is listed as Questionable for tonight, so we'll see. Certainly going to be a big factor.

Watching PC/Xavier and just saw something i have never seen before. Xavier drives to hoop and PC defender jumps in to draw the charge. One ref calls charge the other calls block. They talk it over and they gave a foul to both players.

We better pay back Creighton next week. Butler destroying them.
