UConn vs. UNC at MSG

I go to bat for UConn every chance I can. Just yesterday I asked how many credits she got for weaving her basket.

Oh, you will pay for that, but it still is well worth it.

One slight alteration to your comment. Their scotch is something pretentious, over priced and not really all that special (probably a blended whisky). We will be drinking what we brought, a quality single malt that most know little about but is in fact superior to anything they've tried.

Some great unintentional humor here. FCF calls something pretentious … then acts pretentious by calling out blended whisky and referencing his high quality single malt. Well played!
 
We still don't have a date for this game, right?

I was going to say throw out the records books when the Illini play FAU. But as it turns out, Illinois already lost a home game to FAU.

I remember vivdly that Kofi was on his official visit for that game and I was convinced that them losing that game meant we would land Kofi

Sounds like it turned out, "See how bad we need you! You are the Answer!"

I like to see these "blue blood" games. We kicked down the door of the club, we're sitting on a leather sofa in front of the fire, drinking their Scotch. This is another indication that they know they can't kick us out.

I always liked this game, fan of Jimmy V and what they do. It's important to remember that the Spirit of Jimmy V will not be backing the Tar Heels here. He's on our side.

LOL so predictable. You like to see these "blue blood games" thinking Kansas is included in that. That's cute. Kansas might as well be Michigan ST. You know who blue bloods are? 5 or + titles.

Oh mine doesn't either. She has--and this is a true story--referred to "shooting a goal" in basketball. It's the roasting her about having a fake law degree that might lead to my divorce.

In this case I was thinking Carolina was included in that. Good effort though.

I see no difference between nova and Kansas

From our little corner of the world I agree with you, the two are pretty much interchangeable.

If you travel outside the mid-Atlantic to northeast the opinions of people change and the further from there that you travel, the more drastic the change becomes.

College basketball fandom exists in a lot of places outside of the northeast corridor.

Nah...Kansas is definitely a "blue blood". It's one of the best programs in America, currently.

Sure.

But not as fervent. Because if it did the BigEast tournament wouldn't be the best conference tourney in the country. Anyone remember what happens in the Big12 tourney? Jeez I couldn't have told you who won. Kansas? Big10? I know Purdue won. who cares? and the B10 more than anyone knows no one cares that's why they tried to do it in Garden one year. ACC? LOL let's switch between Greensboro and Brooklyn, and when Syracuse played in Brooklyn last year the same day we were at MSG tickets were THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS. Look it up.


I wont even talk SEC because other than Kentucky every school is football first.


No Thanks.

Who outside of the Big East remembers much, if anything about the Big East tournament?

Your speaking as if everyone in other parts of the country are as attached to the BET as we are yet nobody in any part of the country cares about any other tournament.

Everyone? Show me something that supports this claim.

Ideally one west coast, a couple varied midwest-mountain, maybe a southern location or two, afterall you claim everyone, if you are including everyone it has to cover an area larger than Foggy Bottom to Federal Hill.

So FAU is either going 30-2 or 12-16 this year right?

It's really hard to say.

Their non-conference schedule is really, really good.
  • Hosting
    • Charleston
    • Liberty
    • Bryant
    • Albany
    • Eastern Michigan
  • Visiting
    • FGCU
    • Northern Kentucky
  • Neutral one-off games
    • Illinois
    • Loyola-Chicago
    • St. Bonaventure
  • ESPN Events Invitational, three games against
    • Boise State, Butler, Iowa State, Penn State, Texas A&M, VCU and Virginia Tech
Also, they're joining the AAC, which will be a step up from the C-USA, especially since some of the better C-USA teams (UAB, North Texas) moved along with them too.

I could see FAU entering their conference tournament with a record akin to San Diego State at the same point last season: 24-6, which makes them flirting with top-25 status throughout the year and a good bet for an at-large bid irregardless on how they do in the AAC tourney.

Listen, they're a really good team, but the top-10ish rankings I've seen right now are silly. I think FAU is more likely to miss the tournament all together than ever be a top-10 team.
 
FAU is having a nice little UMassian run now, then it's back to Bolivion.

Well they are. You know who isn’t?

The team that has won the most games all time? Good luck with that.

The point, which I know you got, is that we went from “well UConn had a run due to Calhoun but they are done” to, “Ok, 5 titles under three coaches, that’s undeniable“. I think we’re seeing that treatment show up.

We seem to have found our first case of big east derangement syndrome. Guy takes a shot at the league every chance he gets….petty
