Is Nova in a P5?

I've heard the verbiage of "major conference" for both the AAC and Big East. P5 is a whole other can of worms though.

In my mind, the following four make up the "next tier" below the P5: AAC, A10, BE, MWC. The rest can go to Pluto for all I care.

PC has swept Gtown, beat Butler, X, ND, URI and UMass(by 28). All are top 50 RPI.

Ran into a buzz saw last night; it happens. Difference is, we got beat by the #6 team in the country, you got a beatdown from SMU.

I like your implication that UCONN is better than PC this year. Maybe when your AD finds a set of balls this pissing match can get settled on the court instead of on a message board.

Sorry, sean. But we are just not that into you.

I mean, your little bible college is swell and all, but our interests are focused much more on P5 opponents.

It is funny that the ugly guy is mad that the hot girl will not date him. One day Sean will wake up and look in the mirror and realize he is just the ugly guy.

The Big East conference RPI was number 4 last year and is number 2 this year. I'm no proponent of the Big East, and in no way do I think UConn should consider going back. However, whether you want to admit it or not, Nova was a good team last year.

Wait, are you implying that we're somehow afraid of Providence? Now that's impressive.

They were a good team, I did not mean to say they were not, I meant that they were not nearly as good as their record or seed indicated. They were nothing special, and a team with that record generally is thought to be.

I know I've read quotes from your coach in the past where he stated he has tried to get home and homes set up with many, many different high major teams and never really had much luck. Just out of curiosity, are all those other teams also scared of PC, or are we the only ones who are scared, and all the other teams have a different reason for not agreeing to a home and home?

It's just beyond sad that so many here feel the need to denigrate their ex conference members who are just trying to get along in this cluster f... of CR. This Nova team is special. It's ok to say so without all the backhanded BS. But whatever floats your insecure boat...
Expand ...
C'mon, friarJ. "denigrate ex conference members"!!! Whatever is said on a PC board denigrates your ex conference member, UConn, one whole hell of a lot more than whatever is said about PC, or any other ex BE member here.
Talk about insecure folks, the PC board leads the league. (any, and all leagues)

PC won the tourney, how good could the league really be?

They haven't won a NCAA tourney game since it moved to 64 teams.

We wouldn't have lost to anyone by 28 points sean. A buzz saw or just seriously out coached? I have no doubt we could beat PC and lose to Yale the next night. Difference in our 2 programs is we don't give up 89, that's just reality! Check out how many Duke got. ;)

You guys blew a tire when you had a chance. Nothing there yet again, you should be used to it by now!

They almost won a game last year (losing to a team that lost to us). So they count that as a win.

PC offered to play at UCONN with no return game; you turtled. I guess it was more important to pad your schedule with softies. You had to run the AAC gauntlet

No, you just lost by 18 to a very pedestrian SMU team.

It speaks volumes about what an attractive opponent you are. And provide a link to this urban myth buzzing around Ed Cooley's brain.

It also never happened, it is just a made up story by Sean, if it did he would provide a link.

Bet he said he heard from a "source", probably the same "source" Chief has.

When Sean gets his 1k post here, can we all chip in and get him a prostitute so he can finally lose his virginity? It will at least keep him off our board for a few minuets.

Actually you offered to play us on the moon but we refused. We didn't have the correct oxygen packs.

See, I can make up stuff and post it on the internet too.

Neither URI or UMass are in the top 50 of the RPI, URI is like 70.
 
Ugh this is one of the 24696969 reasons why i hate conference realignment, we have fans of schools that haven't won a tourney game since Clinton was humpin hunnies in the oval office pumping their chests over the opponents they play.

Villanova was very good last year, and they're even better this year. Villanova's biggest weakness last season was their second round opponent, and I disagree with the notion that we rolled over them as easily as some of you make it sound. Shabazz was drilling pull-up thirty footers in that second half, so it's not as if it was a matter of incompetence on their part. That UConn team was simply on a mission and Villanova was just another helpless bystander in the way.

The Big East is a strong league this year. They're 7-2 against the ACC and several of their top teams have racked up marquee OOC wins; Butler beat UNC, Providence beat Notre Dame and Miami, Georgetown beat Indiana, Villanova beat VCU, Illinois, and Syracuse, etc. If we're going to dismiss those results because they don't pass the eye test, then why bother playing the games? I do agree, though, that Villanova is the only real national threat.

Would you be kind enough to provide a link to that? And the PC board doesn't count.
 
forgive Joe if he doesn't know what "P5" stands for, he 's not a football guy

I think he's a math geek who became famous because University administrators actually use the RPI as the Bible instead of one of the ancillary tool it was intended to be

kinda like Squid, the system made him relevant

This sentiment is pervasive among the P5 (fueled by the media), which showers instant credit to programs that haven't won squat for decades. To have to endure it from fans from a conference that is a shell of its former self is almost unbearable.

How quickly we forget last year. Louisville 81, UConn 48. The season turned out pretty well. One game in isolation doesn't mean anything, except that some teams don't match up well with certain teams.

Why would we forget that loss? It was the last one before we won a national championship. Oh I get it, even though PC lost by 28 to Nova there's a chance they can win a NC, I got it now!:eek:

Pretty sure they need a win outside the NIT to come close to that goal.

No, I'm just responding to you saying UConn would never lose by 28. You're right, they lost by 33.
