Big East March ‘26 Thread

I don’t care 1 or 2 I just really don’t want to watch another seton hall game until next year

 

[KingAG]

Thanks - no need to sigh, grateful for the explanation. StJ isn't losing to SH.

That seals it. SJ is losing to SH

 

[Chonky]

Much prefer the 2 seed.

Nova doesn’t scare me much and is a potential Q1 win.

The game times for the two seed are all evenings.

Wouldn't have to watch another Seton Hall slog of a game.

 

[HooperScooper]

Are you sure? I think a Creighton win and a PC loss just about killed it. It was Creighton's last game and they'll be finishing with 9 wins, PC would only have 7 after tonight with one to go.

Sometimes I'm generally worried about you. You post so much but pay attention so little. We need to speak to your family and perform an intervention. 😀

Nova looked pretty good tonight.

It would've been a lot easier if you just admitted you don't know what you're talking about on this.

You are the one defending something that occurred 45 years ago as relevant today.

I'm done. You win. Of course DePaul will own Chicago once they start winning.

And there you have it - next coaching hire for them is a big deal.

But who can you get to go to Providence?

 

[MJ1]

Richard Pitino, one year at X and off to Providence.

Yeah……
Still don’t think they are an appreciably bigger risk to beat us than Seton Hall though. If at all. Worth it for the night games.

Bobby Hurley?

 

[Chonky]

Bobby Hurley?

Lol

Big brother Bobby. Fabled Duke college career. Come to Providence to be second fiddle to little brother Danny.

I don’t think so.

Maybe a nice A10 spot would be good for Bobby. It’s not like he has a long track record of excellence. Did a reasonable job at a school with low expectations.

Pitt wanted a Hurley...

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

English and Cooley swap schools, with each school paying the others' buyout.

Thanks, Serpico

 

[gsmooth]

I have to think the players we're informed about this or heard about this and thus the lackadaisical effort against Marquette.

 

[TyroneShoo]

Bobby Hurley?

He feels like a disaster

 

[formerlurker]

He'll be OK. Probably not a bad dude, just can't read a room. Most likely voted "Talks Most, Says Least" by classmates.

 

[ctbro1999]

They look good again teams they are supposed to beat. Get boat raced by better teams.

 

[Inyatkin]

But who can you get to go to Providence?

Maybe they can grab another Fairfield coach

I know you are probably being sarcastic in saying PC fans and athletic department would hope to catch another Ed Cooley. The 3 names Jeff Goodman suggested were Jarrod Calhoun (Utah State), Bryan Hodgson (South Florida), or Josh Schertz (St. Louis). However, these coaches are the top of the list and Providence will have a lot of competition for these coaches and might get outbid.

Another name they should consider is Tony Skinn from George Mason as he is doing well at George Mason. However, selling another George Mason coach to the PC fanbase might be tough. Either way, the Providence athletic director, Steve Napolillo, needs to get this hire right or he will lose his job.

There are two things the PC can offer, HC $$ and NIL.

Yeah Providence fans think their job is top shelf but the reality is they catch mid-major guys on the way up, and that's best case scenario

It should be a pretty attractive job. Cooley was the highest paid coach in the Big East his final season there and they have very good NIL. The Kim English hire was inexplicable.
