Yeah I'm aware. If my rooting for Kennesaw State had any tangible effect on them not winning until the last seconds I apologize for the money I tried to take out of UConn's pockets

Did I say you pulling for kennesaw state had a tangible effect on them not winning or you tried to take money out of UConn’s pocket? SMH. All I said was that BE teams winning is not just about conference pride, that is it.
 
I cannot believe anyone on this website was actually cheering for Xavier to beat Kennesaw State. Narcs.

Explain to me how its helpful for UConn in recruiting that Xavier beat Kennesaw State? You don’t seriously believe this do you?

it's not just pride, though. when a BE team wins the in the NCAAT, win share money gets distributed to all the teams. I personally root for BE teams, but if others want to root for the upset that is their perogative (spelling).

Wait- so do we care about the school making more money as fans or not? Because every time we bring up going to the ACC or Big 12 people always say they don’t want to leave and don’t care about the money. But now we do?

A) You are wrong. B) Can you start a separate thread for this silly argument?

What about what I said is wrong? You think they’re gonna interview Stephen Castle and he’s gonna be like “Yeah I was really fired up for Xavier that they took care of business against Kennesaw State!”?

One of the worst call I've ever seen against VT. Nobody within 3 feet of the shooter!

It was a bad call, but refs make anticipation calls just like it all the time. It is definitely bad officiating.

If it is not important for the rest of the conference teams to be good, then why not just join America East or the NEC?

Congratulations on moving the goalposts and completely changing the topic of discussion with a random straw man. You did it.

The better the BE does in the tournament the more likely people talk up the conference and players want to play in that conference!

I have spoken!

Exactly the same topic, goal posts are exactly where they started. The problem is that your argument is silly.

You’re right man. We should be in the best basketball conference we can be. Which is why we’ll be in the Big 12 soon enough.
 
Pitt jumping all over Iowa State is disorienting. I am used to the Pitt that cakes its pants and pukes on itself in March. Maybe Pitt will blow a big lead, and balance will return to the universe.

Play in 16 seeds bumps 2 teams up to 13/14/15 that would previously have been 12/13/14. That and COVID 5th year seniors helps offset some of the underclassmen talent advantage of high majors, especially because it seems less likely for high majors to get the 5th years to stay (more opportunities to play professionally).

All true and great points but still a stark difference from when I was younger. You would think the portal would counterbalance some of that with some of these players moving up a level.

Don’t attribute what others say to me. Financial viability is important. If UConn got an invite to the ACC they would have to take it.

but again, let me wait one more time so it clear to you and Navery: the BE teams winning is about more than pride. That is all I was stating in my response. U and Navery decided to run with that to some other place about cheering for K St. is taking UConn’s pockets blah blah, even after I stated it was okay if people wanted the big upset more

Eight minutes one second getting only 2 points is not the way!
