Big East March ‘26 Thread

[Kolumbo]

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.

I looked up Josh Schertz (50). As a college head coach he only has 3 years at Indiana State and 2 at Saint Louis but he had an impact at both programs. Maybe he waits to see if the Billikens end up in the Big East (ducking) or holds out for another Big East job.

Rick Pitino has 909 college wins, 75 coming at SJU

Would Bobby ever consider being an assistant again?

We'll see how the A10 tourney plays out but Skinn might have lost some shine with how George Mason has finished the season. I like him alot too but they were 18-1 and have closed out the regular season poorly the last few weeks.

One of Hodgson or Schertz is going to revitalize the Syracuse basketball program if they can't get Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan. Or at least that's what I've read.

Let’s not forget the Bryce Hopkins drama at PC basically using their scholarship to rehab and hit the portal.

Let's hope they don't lower the floor against Marquette tomorrow. Didn't have an easy time with them at home.

We beat Marquette by 16 and it was a 20+ point lead until garbage time.

It was not an easy game. Close for a long time.

Didn't realize St John's has blue jerseys... Go Hall!!!

 

[Scoe]

Seton Hall should win a participation trophy tonight well 2 seed it is.

I don't think an 8 point lead at halftime against the worse team in the conference is a blow out. I do agree it looks better in the second half.

 

[TRest]

Neither team can survive a normal refereed game.

What was that call by bReEDiNg lol. Hopkins bowls a guy over, and he calls him for a blocking foul? He was the primary defender and not moving. ????

 

[Trudy Gay]

This game just proves everyone somehow plays significantly above their level when they play us. Hall just goes back to not even attempting threes.

 

[TRest]

Ever play pickup where you call your own fouls but if you’d they will beat you to death?

I think he called it blocking due to the defender being on the floor and by doing that nearly tripping Hopkins. Yeah, I did think Hopkins should have been called for a charge. Plus, James bReEDiNg working this game is good news for us because it means he cannot work tomorrow's game against Marquette.

They’ve allowed a few open threes, but St. John’s perimeter defense has still been very strong overall.

UConn tends to sag or play off at the three-point line—maybe they’re worried about getting beat (or scouting report).

 

[JwittersPAC]

Incredible shooting going on in the St John vs Seton Hall game. lol UConn is on another level relative to the rest of this thug league.

 

[TRest]

Just a brutal watch.

 

[psilotic]

OMG that same relentless Prudential Center "heckler" is at it again

 

[gsmooth]

Budd Clark and Dylan Darling is pest on pest crime.

That loud arse Seton Hall fan sits behind the announcers. He is a season ticket holder-I hear him at every game.
