PC/Creighton thread

I’d much rather play nova in the chip. Two blue bloods and the biggest programs in the BE. A symbolic Changing of the guard.

Have you been asleep the past two seasons?

We hit lower depths for much longer but were still UConn. Nova will always be a bigger brand than PC

Coming into tonight Ashworth was shooting 19% from 3 since the UConn game.

They've been close - lost to SDSU in the Elite 8 last year by 1 pt, lost in the sweet 16 three yrs ago, still yet to win a BE tourney.

Gonzaga of the Midwest

PeeCee came to play.

They brought a hell of a defense last night.

If it’s UCONN vs Marquette in the finals I bet Kolek plays

Hahaha. When not facing UConn I root for all the Northeast Big East teams (SJU, SH, VU, PC, GT). Especially during UConn's absence during 2014-2020 as I continued attending the BET every year. I guess I'm not the typical UConn fan. That's fine with me.

I will root for PC and Nova. Not St. Johns. Not Georgetown. I'm neutral on Seton Hall, they are simply meaningless to me. I sometimes forget they are even in the league. This year I was mostly hoping Villanova would be bad enough to fire Neptune, so they might be good again someday.

I'm hoping PC has done enough to get into the tournament now.

I gotta say I've been impressed by Kim English this year. Pretty composed, that team played hard as hell even when at a significant talent deficit, won some games it probably shouldn't have and maximized the talent they had on hand.

Will see if he can recruit/roster manage or whatever in this new era but strong start in my humble opinion

If I'm PC i'd love to have someone like English instead of CooleyTraitor

I live in NYC so I casually support the Johnies and Seton Hall. I want them to do well. I think its good for the league and for Northeast basketball to have them competitive.

At the end of the day - I know a lot of people may disagree - but for me, none of them truly represent a threat to UCONN's long term success. I don't see it as a zero sum game. UConn is a different beast when it comes to facilities, campus, tradition, location, quality of education. I spent a lot of time in Storrs, CT. I know the tangibles and intangibles that UConn offers over it's league peers.

I think the more bids the Big East has the better for UConn. Its way better having a competitive Northeast than having to travel to the South/Midwest/West to play good teams. We need the region strong!
