If we win out like we should we’ll be fine. Control of destiny.

Win out? Beat St. John’s twice and win the BE championship? Yeah, we’ll be better than fine. For confidence and team frame of mind the next with them is important. If they win out they will jump us in the seeding I believe no matter what we both did early season and that would cause stomach acid for me personally.

We need to win the home game vs StJ. The BEC would likely be after they firm up the seeding. I think it's hard to earn 1 in theory if we were swept by a team that had no strong OOC wins. That said, three of our biggest competitors for the last 1 lost last night in games they were favored. Right now it's all about Houston.

A not much talked about frosh - this guy is a man. Add another one to the stack. Drew seems to do less with more than any other coach out there. He's got two first round pick on that roster along with Carr, and they aren't even on the bubble.

Pitt was finished when they left the Big East. They had a heavy NYC pipeline, which vanished when they were not playing New York area teams. They became just another program trying to recruit New York/New Jersey, and Pittsburgh was not exactly a premier destination. Pittsburgh high schools don't produce a lot of basketball talent, and west of Pittsburgh is Big 10 country and a lot of competition for even second and third tier players.

I thought that Pitt could make a bit of a comeback in the NIL/House era given that they are in a city with lots of corporate sponsors and wealthy individuals, and Pitt has a big endowment. Maybe the next coach will be more successful.

pitt and cuse were the two programs I most wanted to see back in the Big East. both could be premiere programs in the conference rather than northern outliers in the duke-unc conference. now they can both continue to die on the vine

Pittsburgh is the link between BE East and BE West and recruiting would certainly be much better
Cuse has a big NY following of course and the same recruiting benefit of being in the BE

I don’t believe mocks when they say this kid isn’t at least a lottery pick. They’ve consistently had him in the late teens-20s.

Is Scott Drew a top coach anymore? It seems like every year he gets his one diaper dandy to build around, but never a complete roster and one that plays all that well.

Purdue about to put this game away. Nebraska may have peaked early. Tape is out.

Rob Wright screwed him over. I can’t see how he wasn’t tampered with given that he had signed a contract to come back.

I think he’s a really good, positive coach - kind of like Shaka in that respect - and, like Shaka, is having a hard time navigating the shifting coastline.

And to an inter conference rival to boot. Smells bad.

I wish yormark were our commish. The polar opposite of the festering old bag asleep at the BE wheel. Starting to worry the BIG12 won’t even need us to boost their bball profile with how good they’ve gotten. ACC maybe.

Val is awful but so are these courts.

We add nothing to the B12, unless Yormark was that enamored with NYC. I doubt a league that spans as far west at AZ cares about NYC. It's ACC or bust.
