Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4280030, member: 1023"] I think Cole was limited. He was limited when he came. He is limited now. Would have been a nice 6th man on a top team. Maybe his being All-New Big East is as much a comment on the New Big East as it is on the player? As for we were better than UNC for 90% of the season, that is pretty silly. 8 teams in the original Big East were better than UConn for the regular season in 2011. AntG did you care about that on the first Monday in April that year? There are 2 points here. 1. When you claimevto be a power program, the games that matter are played in March, not November. If you had a choice of going 0-28 in the regular season, then 5-0 in the league tournament and 7-0in the NCAA, or undefeated in the regular season and 0-4, 0-1 which would you take? 2. As I’ve said for years, RPI, NET all of that is crap except in separating teams into groups. Not enough inter conference play and almost all of it happens in the first month of the season when teams are still trying to figure things out. And even then it fails at the margins. If the 3rd to last team in quad 1 plays the 5th in quad 2 it’s pick ‘em. Even though the squints would have one ranked higher than the other. And teams change over the course of the season, sometimes multiple times. Guys who started in November are relegated to the bench in February. Freshmen who aren’t projected to see much action excel. Guys like Bouknight are eased into the lineup and end up dominating. Guys get injured and others return from injury. [/QUOTE]
