Small world--I graduated from Richmond before attending UConn.  UR is a wonderful school but not suitable for the Big East.  Only 3500 students, and unfortunately the administration seems satisfied with Coach Mooney even though he's been unable to get them back to the tournament in recent years.  In a rarity for modern college basketball, they had basically five 1000 point scorers (before one was lost for the season, but replaced by a talented sophomore in Tyler Burton), beat Kentucky, but ultimately failed to make the tournament.  Lots of boosters are getting antsy.  A few have even speculated that migrating to a [I]lower ranked conference[/I] such as the Colonial or Patriot would afford the team better odds of making the tourney ("just get the automatic bid").  VCU has had more success, but I'm not sure I see a fit in the BE either.  In terms of talent and results, however, they've certainly outperformed the bottom of the Big East.
