Gonzaga to join Pac-12

[HuskyHawk]

Yes, if you take the two best programs out of the Big East they wouldn't have won 4 of the last 8 national championships. You take Kansas and Baylor out of the Big 12 and they haven't won a national championship in forever. Big 10 will have a chance to win their first national championship in 25 years this upcoming season.

Typically if you take the best programs out of their conferences they aren't winning national championships. These other conferences are monstrous in size now so maybe they'll start winning some.

Why is it always championships?

My original comment was about getting fewer bids than the Mountain West. About Georgetown being a dud. Villanova being a dud. I expect DePaul to be bad, but it’s a once proud program that is somehow worse than Loyola Chicago every year.

Do better. We don’t need a team in Spokane. We need the supposedly big name programs in rich recruiting areas to step up. Right now the league is carried by UConn and three midwestern teams (Marquette, Creighton and Xavier). PC has been fine.

Their program is still there, they're a part of The Big East winning half of the last 8 national championships. Coach K and Roy Williams aren't at Duke and UNC anymore. Yes, Duke and UNC will bring their championships with them if and when they go to another conference. That's how it works, the programs get to keep their championships.

The program is still there. It’s right there in the toilet with DePaul. It stinks. it isn’t a positive. UNC and Duke kept winning. UNC played in a title game under Davis. Duke disappointed last year but was still good. The better comparison for Nova is Louisville. They won a title in 2013. They aren’t helping the ACC now.

Spoken like a true Kansas fan.

Your post I responded to said nothing about the Mountain West, Georgetown, Nova, DePaul.

I consider it a good thing that Marquette, Creighton, and Xavier are really good programs. it was a great decision adding them years ago.

We're all aware Nova hasn't been good the past couple seasons but they were in the final 4 in 2022 and won two national championships recently. You might think they will forever be in the toilet, I don't believe that. UConn was in the toilet after they won the national championship in 2014. You might have thought they would forever be in the toilet, I never believed that. Great programs are a lot more than a short dry spell.

As for Hubert making the title game. He made it with Roy Williams players, Mike Davis made the title game with Bobby Knight's players, Kevin Ollie won it all with Jim Calhoun's players.

Credit to them all but let's wait longer to see how great he is at the helm at UNC.

remember when people thought they wanted to join the big east? lmao. peak church league delusion.

That's me thinking about 1962, seriously?

Have to admit, the Big O was good, butt 62 years and counting. Go hang out where you belong, maybe UCF board. They have make believe banners too

My post said we don’t need Gonzaga, we need the teams already in the league to be better.
