2024-25 Rankings

- Start date
X has had a very difficult BE schedule so far. They are going to win a lot of games the remainder of the season. Our wins against them are going to age well and be good for our resume.
I think we come in at 15 Monday…
Also- I think UConn loses at X this weekend.
Want them ranked when we play them home.

.... nice looking resumes starting to pop up on this tool....
If Rick can mold these guys even further in February (similar to last year)...sky's the limit
My predictions have been money this year. I was 1 point away from nailing the exact Xavier score. Amazing what the thought of Pisco Sours can do for predictionsJet lag and pisco sours haven't affected your predictions.
Funny, after three whiskies my predictions are pretty bad, but I always predict cuse, puke and yukon losses regardless.
6 seed, according to Joe.
Of course, I hate having to play a First Four winner. I believe that puts the 11 seed that wins at a slight advantage.

And that’s very concerning. With that, a repeat of last years Dance invites or even getting limited to 4 invites would be a difficult thing to overcome seasonally. The teams that do get invites will have to do more in the Dance then just show up. It may be the only way the league can gain credibility going forward.
Ironically, the BE even in this permutation has usually over performed in the NCAA tourney. So the teams that get in typically represented the conference very well. The conference should not have to justify itself, but other self serving forces (football conference dominance) are at work to marginalize the BE.

It’s those power football conferences that are the main concern. When tournament models come out with 13 SEC teams and 10 Big Ten teams while the Big East is projected as 4, it is imperative that our teams do well in the OOC games against them. I believe that the loss that will have the most negative affect on the Johnnies and the conference at large was the loss to Georgia.
It's a shame seeing the SEC and Big Ten buying their way to college basketball dominance, especially since they haven't won the Tournament since 2012 and 2000 (!!!).
At the same time though, St. John's is doing the same thing. We haven't been truly great since the Big Ten last won a championship, but when NIL and money is involved that doesn't matter. Being at the top of an okay Power conference is a million times better than being close to the bottom of a great Power conference (as we were for most of the past 25 years), and I do expect the Big East to rebound some next year regardless.
Things won't always be perfect, and who knows what will happen in the future, but for now I'm very happy with how things are going.

Ask BC fans how they like the ACC.... or Syracuse.
Syracuse has been irrelevant for so long now, and it’s glorious. Made all the sweeter now that we’re back.

Is that what we are calling it now ?
Probably because Florida crushed Georgia. New Mexico won a close game which helped. Would probably bounce back if Xavier beats UCONN but is really irrelevant at this point. Need to keep winning.
