The last BET just started...and it just hit me

[UConn5]

this sucks.

 

[HuskyNationJE]

still can't believe the last tourney is being held without us. if we won, they could have just given the runner up the automatic bid.

 

[UConn5]

Im guessing their reasoning had a lot to do with the fact that a bunch of teams enter the BET on the bubble and need 2 or 3 games to solidify their tourney bid and didn't want a team that couldn't get there playing in the tournament and messing that up.

I still think its a punk move by all of the schools to keep UConn out when they let Syracuse play back in the early 90's when they were ineligible, but oh well.

 

[BugsyCT]

WTF is Cincy wearing vs PC? This funky uniform craze is getting ridiculous.

 

[sdhusky]

this sucks.

Now we know what its like being a PC or DePaul fan.

Yup, it's bizarre. This is normally such an exciting time to be living in NYC!

Although I will say that the last 4 years have been pretty strange as a Uconn fan, both in good and bad ways.

I keep finding myself wanting to check the schedule and scores and then when I get there, I get the hell outta there.

There are drops of hopefulness heading into next year, with Ollie and the new practice facility and the belief that Uconn will get out of the Great American Hero Conference.

But it still stinks.

The only thing to hope for this year are upsets, upsets, upsets.

You know i thought about that too. But if that really was the case for keeping UConn out, why let us play our 18 game Big East schedule if we were just going to "steal wins from tournament eligible teams". Thats why thats a BS excuse.

Is Ed Cooley's job in danger?

6 points in 13 minutes.

I went to the games last night with a friend who had free tickets. The crowd was small and the basketball was lousy but the bands were great, especially DePaul's with its jazzy style. It was worth a free ticket to have a hotdog and a couple of overpriced beers and listen to the music while ignoring the games.

I am in a good place. I realize that there no longer is a BE so I really do not care about the BET this year. It is a joke all around- there is no such thing as a BET without UCONN and there are only two BE teams in the BET this year- the rest are my new favorite teams to route against. Dook is going to have a run for it's money in the ACC as far as who I like the least. Hard to say this but I can EASILY see myself routing for Dook over Pitt (scum) and Quse.

Maybe they'll turn it around, but it looks a little like his last Fairfield team in their conference tournament. Down 41-15 at halftime or something.

I will not watch one minute of this clusterf*%k

I agree with it being BS. A loss to UConn wouldn't be a bad loss and would be a good win. Without UConn in, both SJU and Cincy lose an extra win against a bottom feeder and PeeCee loses a chance to take another crack at UConn.

It is amazing how many time UConn beats a team that had been on a roll and they subsequently go into a funk

Season on the line against us and now, and PC lays an egg. Very fitting way for PC to go out.

Big difference. This hollow feeling for us in only temporary...

I have to say, reading Pee Cee game thread was good entertainment.
