UMass defeats BCU in the battle for Massachusetts.

Does that make Central CT the best team in Massachusetts?

I believe it does under the transitive property of sports.

UMass beat CCSU. So this all just makes BC really bad since they lost to CCSU and UMass.

BC is barely a mid Mac team in basketball and football.

Seriously what do they do with their ACC money?

I'm old school and its time to play them again: Massachusetts vs Connecticut

Schools from yesteryear. Gtown and UNLV are up there too. Almost feels like completely different schools from when I was growing up. They are so irrelevant and forgotten about now.

Gotta kick upstairs to the capos.

What does one say when one has already dropped the “epitome of brutality” in the first 6 weeks of the season?

Talked to a friend who is a BC alumni (and Duke law school so he’s got that). He said there’s a new President coming in. The outgoing President just didn’t care about athletics at all. So maybe they will make some investments and change things. I do think it’s better for UConn if BC is at least competitive.

In other news, Syracuse is the 4th best team in Canada.

My error, for some reason I thought Central beat UMass this year.

UNLV was never UNLV. It was always Tarkanian.

Why would BC fielding competitive programs in a better league than UConn be better for us? Hey we've won 2 of the last 3 national titles, but just wait until BC fields an NIT caliber program and watch out.

I cringe at the thought of joining the ACC with an SMU style deal and having to fork over cash to these clowns.

They are 5-6 with 330th in schedule

Am I the only one who sometimes wonders whether ADs at our former BE rivals (BC, Syracuse, Pitt) wish they’d never taken the bait for all that football money and jumped to the ACC?

Off the top of my head, it seems as if their football teams haven't been consistently competitive, while their basketball teams have pretty much sucked. Maybe, instead of dumping the BE all those years ago, there should have been more of an effort to poach teams from the ACC and add independents, with the goal of building the BE to a “power 5” level football conference.

Anyway, it’s all water under the bridge at this point. Maybe BC should just ask Dr. J to help them recruit. 😳

You sure? I had time this morning and see that SAIT (Southern Alberta), Vanier, Humber, and Brebeuf all have better records than Syracuse.
