Pitino Gonna Pitino

Not bad. If St. John’s continues to get 7 figures plus so they can be good, they’ll be our rival. Their fanbase is insufferable though. Who knows if Pitino leaves after 3 years
If he has major financial backing to buy players there's no chance he'd leave NY. Why would he if he ca win there?

He's in his 70's, doesn't look particularly robust for someone as relatively young as he is, so he probably doesn't have too many more years of high pressure he'd be able to withstand.

He'll be king of NY if he can win a title and be at least a Duke or Prince if he just keeps doing well in the Big East.
 
Good for Pitino. He loves beating Connecticut. Which makes Connecticut love beating him. lol.

I think ya gotta just enjoy the trolling.
 
All that means is he is insecure and jealous of UConn and their accomplishments. Someone else other than him had the spotlight for a minute. The new big boy on the block routine only works if you finish the job. Big East is nice but now he needs to back up his mouth with results in the big dance. Nice little year for them. They have a chance. I hope they get wiped off the floor by a 15 seed but Mike Jarvis made me despise them and Pitino, although an excellent coach, can kick rocks.

I hope they win the whole thing.

Thank you.

I am sure there must be BE officials who have the same sentiment and thinking it, if not saying it. But I digress.

To the victor go the spoils and up to this point they are the victors. All in good fun and I have no issue against Pitino and his way of juicing up the fan base and his players.

There is one issue I do have. If Dan Hurley said this it would be a media blitz feeding a fan blitz of how "arrogant", "snobbish" and "conceited" he and by association UConn is. In fact, Dan Hurley pointing to the "2 rings" was similar. The media and fans used that incident to justify Creighton's last second dunk. Because, you know, "we (UConn) deserved it".

But this is all in good fun, and so was the Dan Hurley taunt, but that is not how it was handled, IMO. Of course I can't speak for all fans and all media. In the end, just win. To the victor go the spoils.
 
Awesome.

I'd wave back Rick, but I can barely see you behind all this glittering hardware.

I have no problem with it. We're so far beyond them in terms of NCAA tournament legacy that, honestly, they need to take a few chances to help nurture the rivalry. I mean, look at that trophy haul from our BB programs. They have zero of these golden beauties. This is the first time in ages they actually have something over us, even if it's just this year's on-court results and the highest seed in the Providence site everyone knows Hurley wanted.

It's fun. Way better than the massive eyeroll UCF gave UConn when Diaco tried to make "fetch" happen by manufacturing a rivalry with the "Civil ConFLiCT."
 
Pitino got here by going all portal unless a 5 star jumps into his lap. Hurley has been about developing 4’s mostly. Is this going to be a major change in direction for Hurley when he has a big class coming in?

I hate every New York team, Yankees the most but St Johns with their scum bag coach and fair weather insufferable fans are quickly moving up the list. I will say though that their players seem likeabke.
How do you think they were able to afford Pitino? Womens sports at St John’s is a joke, and even some men’s sports have been sacrificed for basketball.
 
Was 1985. It's ok to do a little research.
The year the Big East had 3 of the 5 spots
and Nova and 8 seed won it all
I think we had 4 in the elite 8
I thought 1999 with Artest but they lost. In the then elite 8 by a prophetic score of 77-74 to Ohio State .

So it was the final 5 in 1985?

I do think the fair weather epithet is reasonable… I couldn’t believe it looking around MSG. Where have you all been hiding?
 
is he the Connecticut radio guy from years ago? Who did those fake prank phone calls?
No, current A list stand up comedian. Italian guy. Maniscalco. He’s awesome.
 
Instead of waving at Storrs, he should stop in and we can show him a collection of National Title Banners of which there are 17. I think a tad more than St .Johns.
