So if DePaul starts being good again for the first time since Terry Cummings left for the NBA we will be rivals we ith them?

As our [i]objective [/i] in the field of [i]men's D-1 basketball [/i] is to compete for the national championship, another are quite a few other programs who realistically have the same [i] objective[/i], we evidently have rivalries with half of the SEC, nearly half of the B1G, a third of the B-12 a quarter of the ACC and a couple BE schools.  I guess we have about forty or so rivalries.  The school should do a better job of advertising this, it may improve our perception nationally.

We don't have a rival.  Super John is being childish by claiming I believe Syracuse is a rival.  They were for a good stretch but that has been gone for a while.  Nothing  has replaced  that (we still spend more time poking fun at that school and their fan base than the entirety of the BE combined) and it would take a whole lot more than whatever success Pitino can bring to St John's in the half dozen or so seasons he ends up running the show there.

They will disappear from our radar the second they return to where they were in 2021-2023.  That doesn't happen in a rivalry.
