February General CBB Discussion Thread

I'm to the point where they've suffered enough and now I wouldn't mind them figuring out relevancy - it would make the Northeast hoops ecosystem a lot more fun. Them sucking, BC sucking, all the action moving into the midwest and south, is a bit of a drain. It's the waste of a good Dome.

The Northeast/Big East used to be the mecca of hoops. Now we are the only one carrying the lonely torch. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have some regional relevancy. Given how national recruiting is these days, they are no threat on that end. I'm all in on Syracuse being good enough where it's worth scheduling a home and home. Most of the other good BE teams of the last few years have been Xavier/Marquette/Creighton. The NE BE teams have sucked, other than StJ which feels like an aritificial temporary sitch.

Autry has to go and they need to nail their next coach.

This Cuse team is very unstructured and undisciplined. Like Autry assembled a roster and then just told them to go play.

There’s some talent there but they play like they’ve never met before today.

True, but it’s more good college talent than NBA prospects.

Somewhat above average talent with no scheme gets you a bad product that can randomly beat a decent team at home…and do nothing else.

Altman is pretty darn good and has had some good success there.

This year they weren't expected to be great but they also have had multiple injuries to key players.

I disagree about Altman. What has he ever done? Has more $ to play with than pretty near every coach in the country
 
Duke-UNC is going to be a media circus with their respective rankings but I’d be surprised if UNC doesn’t get absolutely waxed. Wildly unimpressive defense.

Screw them they figured we would become DePaul after they left for the Acc. To see them falling flat on there face and totally useless is the most beautiful thing possible. I would want to go there in the done and beat them by 60 points yearly.

They won’t schedule us. I wouldn’t mind a little juice in the NE, and they feel like the only program that has some oomph left in their brand.

Agree, I would like for Cuse get good again but if we're being honest it's pretty much been UConn and Nova for a while and they've done an amazing job carrying the torch for northeast basketball. Georgetown hasn't had a major run since the early years of JT3, Cuse had a couple out of nowhere runs to the final 4 a decade or so ago but they've sucked outside of that, and BC hasn't made the tournament in 17 years.

UConn is the best program in the country, I'm very high on Nova, and St. John's is good for the first time in a long time.

This as DP nails the smoothest movement three I've ever seen to tie it. And then he hits another one to go up. I have not seen someone like DP at the college level. The elegance in his movement is so unique.

I would not want to run into Kansas in the tourney.
 
Peterson wakes up in the final minute to put Kansas up, he didn't think White was going to do something that stupid when he gave up the ball lol
