This isn't a viewpoint. It's a fact. Boeheim helped to ice UConn out of the ACC.

OK, but I'll respectfully suggest "citation needed"

There have been multiple threads on this. The article in the Courant from November did not say it was Boeheim but rather Gross, and it specifically mentioned Syracuse athletics trying to ice out competition from UConn.

^^^^^^
from the link you posted, the only thing I saw was "somebody said somebody said". That's just a far cry from evidence IMHO

It was a reporter on Twitter. It was covered in the Courant extensively. You don't know who Daigneault is?

Anyway, this has been much discussed on the Boneyard for several months. Go on rooting for Cuse. Whatever.

two reasons

in real life I know a few Cuse fans and I wouldn't mind seeing them happy, don't let the internet overcome reality

and in the last year of the real Big East, I want the season to end on a high note. Another national championship for the league. The only way they could defeat the best basketball conference in the country was to break it up. Nice story line to live through the ages

gotcha
1. i have quite a few people i know who went to cuse or have kids who went there but that changes nothing
2. louisville still left

It's called 66, 61, 55 and 56 points scored in each of their last 4 games, nothing else. They sucked offensively when Southerland didn't shoot real well, all year. Triche and MCW were not go-to kinda guys with the ball in their hands at crunch time, simple.........plus the fact JB is awful when it counts and they BLOW!!

When I sit back and look at things I realize that Michigan simply had better athletes. in fact, cuse may be the most unathletic team in the big east

hell Cuse press killed UM, UL press could take UM out by halftime. Monday night will be like the 04 title game UL is just to focused to not dominate this game.

if you think ul was focused in semi then we were watching 2 different games
