Message: [QUOTE="aburks41, post: 4312719, member: 4580"] The reason why teams like Syracuse, Georgetown, and Nova are considered our rivals are because we have had decades of high-stakes games played against them, and we're competing with them for Big East titles, constant high level recruiting battles, and also in the national championship race too. These teams are nationally relevant, just like we are. PC hasn't met any of those criteria over the 40 years that we've been in the Big East together. They are in the regional group of St Johns, Seton Hall tier of annoying teams that you expect to beat, but they will play you hard and it sucks to lose against them. They have a long way to go before I would even put them in my tier of Duke, Cincy, Louisville, and Pitt. We have played those teams in multiple championship games, semi-finals, etc over the years. There just is no postseason history with PC to really ignite the "rivalry" because they have no postseason history lmao [/QUOTE]
