Looks like MAL is down to uconn and pc

Ed Cooley has won only 1 NCAA tournament game in 10 years as a head coach. That's probably why Providence underperformed last season. Not trying to be cruel, but it is what it is.

He's only been there for 5 years and has had them ranked much of the past few years, and won the Big East Tournament 2 years ago. I don't think they underperformed as a whole. Unless you're claiming that they choked last year, but regardless, they lost to a great team.

Who pretty desparately wanted to go to Storrs. I'd call it a swing and a miss by our staff. It happens. Congrats on being the rebound chick. It worked out for you.

Lame, you can do better. Actually on second thought I'm sure you blew your load. Take a seat because you don't have a friggin clue what you are talking about. No surprise there though.
 
Maybe it's just me but I don't think Friar J is being as abhorrent as some of you are making him out to be.

Everyone just chill. I think it's all this Big 12 stuff that has everyone on edge.

If we get MAL, great. If not, I'm sure Ollie will find someone else very capable of playing at a high level and playing his system. He's brought in Jalen and Alterique. It's all good.

To be completely fair, I poked at Upstater who I like but he lacks any sense of humor whatsoever (also made a ridiculous claim) and then a couple guys were cramping and it has just gone downhill from there. I tried to bring it back on track multiple times but some other menstrating Husky would quote my earliest post and get it all going again. I have not spoken poorly of UConn in this thread but there is some sensitivity here that simply can't be overcome. There is a recruit that is down to two local schools, it's all good for him no matter what. Free ride to play high end division 1 basketball no matter where he goes. We should all be so lucky, but we aren't so we get our biscuit all puffy and overreact to almost everything.

We may not agree on PED's but I was waiting to throw a post like this up, spot on Vike. Friar J is fine, Dunn chose to go to PC because Cooley did a great job and nothing else matters. He was a CT kid who ended up being a player and give Cooley and PC credit for that it happens.

Now lets play basketball in 16-17 huh?;)

I have no problem with you trolling and defending your program in here, if you wasn't so phony about it. There are moments where I feel that you're not a bad poster at all, only to check the PC message boards and watch you bash this forum. Upstater wrote his opinion on Dunn, people on here disagreed with him, but hey guys, look at The Boneyard, these clowns are saying they never offered Dunn. I'll give you props though, you have people actually defending you too.

I know you really want Dunn to be about your staff beating our staff, because those kinds of little victories are like winning a championship to you, but that wasn't the case. Who knows? Maybe you guys will get MAL and you can have a medal made up for you guys:

That would be really nice for you.
 
PC fans are theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrst.. The amount of butt-hurt envy I've felt from that fan base for 20 years is just startling.. It's sad to be honest.
 
I still don't get why a Providence fan is still hanging out here on a UConn board. Will he be here 10 years after we let THEM have the BigEast name?
 
FriarJ said:
That is simply wrong, PC ran a pick and roll offense at a higher percentage than just about any team in the country. The offense sucked because outside of Bentil it was the team that couldn't shoot straight. Did you even watch them play? Every single draft card on him talks about how he excels in the pick and roll. Derrick Thornton's trainer specifically called out Coach K for lying to him about how much pick and roll he would play and actually compared it to how much pick and roll Dunn was exposed to. Just google it and you will see it. Interesting ... on why he might be leaving Duke. | Utefans.Net I honestly don't know where you are coming from here.

Hey FriarJ, other than whether UConn did, or didn't offer Dunn, more important is I recall our daughters got married 3 years ago around the same time.
Question is, any grandkids yet? Mine delivered twins in May. Much more fun than speculating over Dunn's recruitment 5 years ago.

Oh my congratulations man! That is awesome news. No kids yet for mine. A dog who they treat like a kid though. I'm like "you can be proud of it but it's not like you birthed it. You bought it" :)

I stated a fact. He said it, that's why I have people defending me and everything I said about Napier is exactly how I feel. I simply don't have the hate for UConn that so many others hold. I am upset and continue to be that the two programs can' seem to be able arrange games. I think it's ridiculous and I do blame UConn for it.

We like that your fans bring up Ernie D & Larry Kevirtis (*WTF) ... in a era that we draw 8000 to see Ray Allen, Andre Drummond, Rudy Guy, Kemba. See ... we don't think you are Maine or New Hampshire; but more the relic like Holy Cross. You are wishing we decline to your annual level; and we despise you for that thinking. (as we fight to rise beyond that)

I see little reason to play PC ... when we are squeezing MSG games in with Syracuse; desiring to play Villanova or Georgetown occasionally; and a few National games. (Ohio State, Duke, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Michigan State) We don't play - primarily - because you aren't very high on the priority list given we have limited room in OOC. That simple.

He wasn't a PC fan obviously. It was clear from what he typed but for the slow, I have said it again. The excuse for not playing is BS and you know it.

You bought it because allowed you to continue to capitalize upon the success that others (namely UConn) had in the conference.

The relationship is explained more fully in the link below.

Maybe you guys can buy the AAC name after it falls apart from the B12 moves.

No need. When you have achievements, you don't need to buy a name to cover up the lack of them.
