Around Big East

Big East will be fine.. Would love to add VCU and another team of their caliber. I say screw all the teams that chose to leave. We are a very good, successful conference, and most teams in the conference are trending upward.

VCU wouldn't draw 3000 people at the garden

How would that make the conference better ? Money plays a big part. Why should the big east give VCU money?

Because they make the tournament consistently. Tournament appearances and tournament wins = $$$ for the conference which gets distributed amongst the member schools

VCU's coach is in Austin. No more tournament wins. Why should we split TV money with a mid major not in the east? The current VCU team doesn't make the tournament if they played i the big east this year.

Same could of been said about Creighton before they joined/

Good thing the Big East doesn't actually use that logic or we would be in the NEC right now. Do you remember that VCU beat us pretty handily this year?

Yes. So did LIU. Do you want to put them in the big east?

They can't be doing any worse than we have been over the past decade plus

Kevin Ollie at UCONN?  Are you on crack?  You mean fired or he goes to the NBA or another college job?

Heard Ollie out at end of season

2 games that weren't particularly competitive.  Marquette needed this badly and Xavier is shorthanded without both Sumner and Bluiett.

Nova 67% from the field 57% from three.  Brunson 7 shots, 22 points.  They are truly what a smart, well coached team looks like on both sides of the floor.

DePaul/G'town deadlocked at 65 with 4.9 seconds remaining in DC.  DePaul has the ball.

Syracuse won at the buzzer versus Duke up at the Dome.  Gillon banked in a trey from about 25", as the buzzer sounded.

What a dumpster fire Georgetown is right now
