Nova taking DePaul behind the woodshed wow. Honest thought though, is this what you want as a Nova fan? They are starting 5 seniors today, one of which is a stud who was a Jay Wright recruit. I'm not sure Neptune coaching himself off the hot seat is a good thing long term for them.

It's not what I want as a scooper. I'm the guy who posted some time ago that Nova might end up in the BE bottom 2 at season's end.

some spectacularly bad basketball is being played between Butler and St. John's today.

I'm starting to think the BE may be a 2 bid league. Georgetown is going to be beaten back to reality against us and UConn (having the 4th worst non-conference SOS is a huge negative). St. John's currently looks like five guys playing for themselves. Unless Zugic figures things out and lives up to his billing Creighton is going to be left out. Maybe Xavier gets into a groove with Freemantle returning, but I don't see anyone else capable of getting into the conversation.

Crazy that Chase has sprained his ankle 2 seasons in a row and played the next game in both. Kolek too. Kam missed just 1 I believe last year with his.

Just never know with those darn ankles.

high ankle sprains are a bitch.

Johnnies in a dog fight with Bulldogs

[#UnleashSean]

Are we finally seeing the "mid-majorness" we were warned about?

We knew since the beginning of the catholic 7 that Seton Hall, St. Johns, and depaul suck.

Georgetown dropped the ball hard, providence has always been mid, marquette finally got moving 4 years ago, nova and uconn have had mad success.

But the outliers of Butler, Creighton, and Xavier... the "mid majors" who were brought on to bring our conference to 10.

Will they be able to have success over the course of 15-20 years?

Or, maybe they already have and I'm just stupid. I am pretty high, and I've had much cerveso

Now I'm concerned about Nova and next year

Creighton has exceeded my expectations from when they joined. With their fan support, facilities, financial backing, and NIL operation they'll be fine. They are a strong department overall. Butler is the concern long term.

Big East is solidly the 4th best conference this season.........SEC in a tier of its own.....then the Big 12/big 10........gap to the big east.........then a gap to the ACC..........then everyone else.

I wouldn't worry too much.......stuff goes in cycles........and yes we will have bad teams in the conference in every season most likely.

Will the Big 10 drop Minnesota?

Will the Big 10 drop Minnesota? 

No, they won a bowl last night. Mayo for all B1G teams. I'm working on some bowls today.

Slick Rick sounds like he's not going to hang around much longer.

Young people today are different. I'm struggling with it. I'm not quitting. like some coaches, but I really am struggling right now with a lot of things," Pitino said. "The work ethic is great, the listening is really bothering me. I gave up drinking for New Year's, but I think I'm going to have the shortest resolution in the history of mankind and I'm going to jump right back in."

Young people are different? Ok Rick...

Plenty of teams are in that same situation and just run the clock out. That decision along with not shaking hands is a direct reflection of his arrogance. Teams take on the identity of their coaches.

This is ridiculous:

Seriously, screw guys like Larranaga and Pitino for these kind of takes. Larranaga spent LifeWallet money to buy a Final Four, then walks out the door bemoaning the impact of NIL on college sports? Pitino brags about how he'll never have to sit in a high school kid's living room again, how St. John's will just buy success, and he's wondering why the mercenary squad he assembled is prioritizing their own interests over the team?

The same guys complaining about the environment and culture are the ones who created it.

Is it harder to get players to "listen" who move from program to program every year chasing the money? Does culture suffer when there is no roster continuity? Just another reason to say thank God for Shaka. We reap what we sow.

In addition to the points you made, coaches could "enter the portal" for years while players had to sit out a year. Their new schools happily bought out their contracts and they were gone with more $ in their pockets. The contracts were one way streets.
