Around Big East

saw on Holy land of hoops that some are saying purnell will be out at Depaul and they are targeting Howland to coach. Any one hearing this also?

Would be a real good hire on their part.

Cant get any worse. Looking at the thread, the rumor got started from a tweet from a guy that worked in the athletic department so he may be right. Some guys think they should go after Pearl but he cant do anything until August. Either way they definitely need a change and either would be an upgrade.

Wow - Howland would have to be desperate or want to prove a point by taking over the demons

When Purnell took it, also being an ACC/MD guy, I personally thought it was a retirement play by Oliver from the get go.

Pearl could sure re-invigorate the program and has the midwest ties however his whole controversy with Illinois might be tough considering how he would have to recruit that state.

Pearl is headed back to the SEC with a strong chance of him going back to Tennessee

Going back to a place he put on violations?
Should we give Fran or Jarvis a call then?

*Not linking Fran to violations just saying lets go for a return engagement.

Cuonzo is in hot water? I saw them play once this season, and his guys played UK hard.

The fans there want him back bad. He would bring in major money to that program and he's proven he could win there already. If its not there it will be to another SEC school. Half the coaches in that league are in trouble

This doesnt mean much but it shows people believe its a possibility. I'm not making it up out of thin air

Pearl might go to Wake Forest to change things up a bit.  It's a little more flattering for a guy to paint his chest Gold.  They'll call him the "Golden Pearl." lmao

Edwin out for SH tonight v. Providence. Not helpful!

Anybody else notice that these last minute mystery suspensions and mystery injuries have been for games against bubble teams? SHU suspended Teague and Oliver against us, UCLA suspended their 2 best players against Oregon, and now Edwin is out against Providence. Just an observation...

@BrendanPrunty: Also: Didn't take a mindreader to sense that Seton Hall players were not thrilled with Edwin's decision not to play tonight.

Seton Hall is a mess right now.  They will be adding significant talent next year with Whitehead and Delgado (if he ever gets there), although losing guys like Edwin & Co.  Thing is, I could foresee just as many issues with Tiny & Co. around.

Big bummer for us..At this point team just has to keep winning and that's it. SJU is not getting a lot of help right now.

The problem is the basketball team has been doing the Vincention mission for other teams for the last 20years...Isn't wrong to be al little selfish now and again hahah.

How did the Nova/Marquette game get on CBS national network?

I know when the BE signed the deal with Fox that most of the games would be on Fox Sports 1 and 2 with some games for scheduling purposes would be on local TV (so for NY area that would be MSG Network or YES) or CBS Sports Network-cable like today's SJU game.  But as far as I knew Big East games would not be shown on CBS Network.
