So do the past 7 years matter or not? Are we talking about the past or the present?
Facts about the past: Providence hasn’t made a sweet 16 this millennium. I saw UConn win 4 national championships before I graduated college.
(Guessing you haven’t seen Providence in a sweet 16 in your lifetime based on your comments)
Facts about the present: UConn has a much more “talented” roster based on sites like 247, Rivals, ESPN. Providence is ranked one slot ahead of UConn in the pre-season coach’s poll. Most pre-season commentary suggests Villanova and Creighton are in different tier than the rest of the conference. Beyond them, the Pres season “power rankings” I’ve seen vary widely. I have seen UConn ahead of Providence numerous times.
Save your talk for after the games are played
Then why do you keep asking about the past 5 (not 6) years?
PC should be pretty good this year.
UConn is clearly trending in the right direction and will be competitive.
PC seems to have peaked at first round NCAA losses and 1 BET championship every 20 years, so there's that, which is nice.

Has the current season happened, yet? So you are counting the future. SMH, Let me guess PC degree? Lol.
To be fair, PC fans are quite experienced at looking into the future and predicting they won't win any trophies. Not entirely his fault that he projected that attitude onto UConn.

Distinction without a difference?
Hey Wingnut, message me and you can put your $ where your big mouth is, it'll be like taking candy from a dumb baby!
You are just not smart enough to have a conversation with me going forward...be gone little boy...
What's your level of education? Just a bachelors degree from UConn LOL

Haha, back again and name calling? That's just adorable. That's why it is tough to have a rivalry with the the teams that were the hangers on in the Old Big East. It's just an overall lack of quality, both in the teams and the, to be frank, the fans. I'd hoped for more.
(FWIW, FriarJ is a good guy. Die hard fan, happy to talk smack, but just at a much higher level. You should read his posts and up your game.)
a much more talented roster, GTFOOH! They did not say that and if they did they are wrong and haven't done their homework, plus ESPN will always suck UConn's balls being from down the street and all so they are automatically discounted! I cannot wait to smoke you all, let's see what you have to say after their first matchup in Prov in December...BTW you are lucky we don't have attendance because the place would be so hot and loud your young inexperienced "talented" players would fold under the pressure!!

He may be a high schooler. He sounds pretty young.
So it's ok for UConn fans to insult me, but I'm not allowed to defend myself, got it...If you want to talk for real and about facts, get to know who PC is now, not 7,10-20 years ago... that was my original problem with you, living off the past like the changes over the last 7 years don't mean a thing and you all didn't struggle in the AAC over the past 5 years while we were rising and have brought our program to a higher level and keep projecting upwards...Our roster is strong 10 deep and we don't get the press, hype, etc as you all because we are a smaller school and because of location where you are in a bigger market...with that said, PC has a roster this season that is built to go deep in the tourney and if we get Croswell waivered, look out, he is a vicious 6'8" rebounder and defender with muscle and high energy! Check out our roster, you'll be surprised in how good we should be...I've checked out UConn recently and Hurley has done great on the recruiting trail, getting some big boys to commit, you will be strong going forward in 2, 3 years for sure, I'm just saying not this year, not quite yet as you get acclimated to a higher level conference that has teams from 1-11 in the standings with big boys throughout their rosters and make every game a fist fight...

Hopefully he figures it out and can be more like some of the fans of other teams. Obnoxious, yet civil.
Nah never, I have my masters degree and quite an established career...just came on here to get you all riled up before our seasons start...admit it, I make it less boring and gives you an opportunity to bang your chests, that are covered with UConn shirts/sweatshirts, with pride defending your team!! LOL
BTW you didn't answer the question...?

Absolutely. He's pretty childish. We'll see if he can up his game.

It's fine that you have a deep allegiance for your team. But, out of respect for the members on the BY, try to refrain from referring to them by something other than their chosen screen name. It is derogatory and it would be a good start towards what you are trying to accomplish. Respect is earned.

Thanks for your interest in UConn basketball. Feel free to visit, but please know you're visiting UConns territory and not Friars and the weak board of people they have. And know we are educated so we know you're not PC of the past 7,8,10,20 years. I mean we can count, the numbers of wins and tournament visits are startling since we left the Big East.
Enjoy, have a good season!
Just for the record, It goes both ways and I never called anyone a name until they did it first and/or put my name down, so I believe in an eye for an eye and I will respect others until they disrespect me, which happens to be the case thus far. Also, this board is for bball interaction is it not? Even if a poster has a different point of view, an opposing team...one would think that would make it fun and having bantor between fans of different teams only adds to the excitement of the upcoming season...I don't mind trash talk but if you send it, you should be able to receive it without getting upset about it... If I offended anyone then I'm sorry...Go PC!
See I try to be civil and get this...nice!Thanks for your interest in UConn basketball.

I was nice. I believe you said let’s enjoy some back and forth banter. If you can’t take a reply such as this you won’t last here.
Well??
Ok, I can easily go back at you but my reply will be criticized as too harsh and others keep getting butthurt...
With that said, Friars board is really strong, very educated with a ton of bball knowledge and experience...I'll have you know I've been a PC fan for 40 years since I was 10! I've played and seen a lot of basketball in my time and I am very confident we have a superior team as well as coach this season...like I mentioned earlier, Hurley has done a great job recruiting some big boys for the future and PC has some work to do...We will know in 2 days if we landed 6'10" Castro, crystal ball is trending towards us...
