Creighton is going to be a headache, as per usual

Can someone explain how they practice “not fouling”? Lol they seem to play defense so I’m not sure at all how any team can average only 6.5 fouls a game. You think the refs actually believe it? I do because it’s impossible.

But they’re very good. Zero points from Ashworth last nigh lt and they still won. Alexander is going to be a huge problem for us tough matchup.

That’s like us we pull for the teams that don’t belong in a P5 league but still try really hard. You know you’re almost as good as Rutgers but I doubt you’ll ever get to that point. But I’m sure that’s fun for a fan :rolleyes::)
 
Cooley has a lot of work to do. Down 18 in the second half to Rutgers. Looks like the B10 is going to take this game
 
Seton Hall are winners; Georgetown are losers.

25-7 (3-3).

Not sure Neptune is the guy Villanova needs based on his name's derivation:

The name “Neptune” (Neptunus in Latin) was derived from an Indo-European root, although which one has been a subject of dispute. There are two candidates with strong cases. One was the word neptu-, meaning “moist or wet.” Were this Neptune’s root, the literal translation of the name would mean something like “the moist one.”

I got a huge kick out of how much Raftery loves Gavin Griffiths. Justifiably so, that kid is gooood. Him and Spencer (and Mulcahey) would have been a nice backcourt. As would, Nowell/Ball/Griffiths…
 
Not going to lie, I'm heavily rooting for North Texas today in their tilt against St. John's. I just really like the program since McCasland took over the team and they've had a smooth transition between him (now at Texas Tech) and AHC Ross Hodge now as the head coach.
 
Does Cooley not care? Sure looked like he just stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, with a goofy smile the whole game.

Thinking, "We suck, is this really worth six mill?"

Are we sure that's not the meaning of Sean Miller's name?

As should be expected, the guy turned out to be a major phony. Can't wait to see Providence torch them and for the fans to let him have it.

Somehow, for the extra money he's getting, he will leave with anonymous people calling him names on line and a full house at the Dunk cursing his existence for two hours. He gets the last laugh.

I don't know the guy, maybe money is all that matters to him and it will be worth it. Maybe he'll regret being hated in his hometown and he'll recognize it doesn't get better for him than what he had.

There is a huge middle ground between "money is all that matters" and "for $6M extra I can live with people I don't know saying bad things about me." Like, money isn't everything but for a real boatload of money I can deal with things that aren't pleasant.

St. John’s just scrapes by.

26-7 (3-3).

That makes sense except PC was paying $4 and offered $5. Care to tell me what’s worth more? $6 in DC or $5 in Rhode Island? I assume this question is right up your alley.

I can assure you that Ed Cooley will not have the last laugh here. He completely pissed away a legacy and he knows it.

But over a couple years the difference would add up
 
Would he even notice that difference? He's already banked millions and is living in luxury at either place. It's not stunning he left Providence, he probably realized he had hit his ceiling there.
But to leave and choose to stay in the conference knowing you have to go back to Providence every year is crazy to me. He riled that whole fanbase up and then left them in a tizzy - knowing he would have to return every year. I'm still amazed by the whole thing.

Fooled around and found out; that’s supposedly why he moved. Not all that amazing, more tawdry.

I was crushed when he left Fairfield, speaking about “home” and “running home to Providence” like Fairfield meant nothing to him. Some things don’t change.
 
Alleyne 12 minutes 3 points. You think he envisioned being buried on Ricky’s bench?

I believe his point is why in conference. It’s reasonable to ask that. My answer would be ego and arrogance. He never thought for one second he would be hated, never gave it a thought. We ate every bit of the BS he fed us, guilty as charged, all of us. Now that we realize it though the pendulum swing is severe and he just never calculated for it. He is going to face a day like very few humans will ever face when he returns.
