Exactly, Jack.... He doesn't want any ridicule but posts that junk. So, either he has an agenda, not too bright, or has been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks.

St. John's is clearly in the tournament. IMO, we're gonna be anywhere between a 6 through 9 seed. I know that may upset you (not you, Jack), but try to see if you can enjoy watching [strike]us[/strike] the Johnnies next week in the dance.
 
I have a few thoughts on these BE FIST TEAM AND SECOND TEAM SELECTIONS..

These are my comments, representing my opinions, to which I'm entitled. Those differing, especially the crowd that only resorts to personal venom, they can't help themselves, please keep your comments to yourself.

i never single out a individual poster to scorn or ridicule, unlike many here who are boorish and ill mannered. WE ALL KNOW THEIR NAMES.


honest disagreement is fine, personal gutter sniping is not.

THE HOMERS AND KOOL AID DRINKERS all think they are the only opinions that matter.. MAYBE ON THIS Board, it is true...They seek approval from their like minded and usually get to the insult level rather quickly.

Obviously,many here are as bored by my comments as I AM OF YOURS. BUT, LET'S BE CIVIL OK?

Anyway, HERE GOES;

1. Pointer deserves first team recognition, over DLO in my opinion. Harrison, hobbled by his injuries, got the nod, mainly on past performance. Second team for DLO and move DOM TO FIRST..

2. Posters moaning that the Coaches should not pick the All Star Team are puzzling. Who should then? REDMEN.COM posters? Other school fans? The Media? THe referees?
No, in this case, the COACHES DO KNOW BEST. Does that guarantee a perfect selected team? No, but it is still the best mechanism.

3. Some have posted that Ryan A and Kellem were selected because they are White? And, that the COACHES were biased in picking them? Really? The BE has 3 African American Coaches. If polled separately, I would bet all 3 voted for these 2 kids.

4. ARCHIE D , for those who know BB, is a Premier PG on the best team in the conference. To coin a phrase, for the CATS, he is the straw that stirs the drink. Enough said! If we had him, he would be our most VAluable Player, without a doubt. We have not had a quality PG in so long, we've forgotten what one looks like. He is the real deal. And, believe it or not, even Lavin thinks so..

Kellem, for those who have forgotten, almost beat us single handed at CA EARLY IN THE YEAR.a deadly shooter..

5.COY ? Well surprise. IT IS not Lavin. Some have advanced him as a candidate weeks ago, for what/ FINISHING 5TH ? It will likely be Jay Wright but, the Butler Coach deserves serious consideration..
I remember many here posting that Butler was a poor choice for the new BE Conference.. They had a remarkable year when many thought they would be challenging De Paul or Creighton for bottom dweller status.They are a legit top 25 team..

A final comment.. For those who are PREMATURELY celebrating our making the tournament, consider this..

What if PC beats us by 25 and Xavier wins the BE tournament, not likely but, possible. How many think the NCAA SELECTION team WOULD STILL PICK US? tHINK ABOUT IT..
Nova, G'town, Butler and PC are locks.. We are the 5th team hopefully..

BUT, if a 6th or below team wins the TOURNEY, DO WE STILL GET SELECTED? Think 6 teams get in? I DON'T.

The NCAA selection committee doesn't go by conference standings and take those top teams, they go by overall body of work. Therefore, your theory is garbage and your pessimism sucks.

RPI - #31 and SOS - #28.... Played in the #2 rated conference in the NATION (see, I can "yell," too), per RPI, as well.

'Nuff said.
 
Harrison could make a lot of money coaching or announcing. His personality is off the charts and he's extremely intelligent.

The tats will prove to be a poor decision in retrospect for both endeavors, but is really building himself a great resume to be a respected college color commentator one day.

Id imagine you are an older poster. Tatoos do not and will not natter to the millenial crowd. Harrison's ability to broadcast and his personality will determine his success in the field

I was born in the 80's, so I'm a millennial myself. Tattoos are certainly not indicative of character but when someone his covered in tats like Harrison--it can give the wrong impression. If I'm deciding between two hires, with everything else being equal, I'd hire the guy without visible tats. Others might do the opposite.

Marillac, I hear what you are saying and in corporate America, you are probably right. However, if Harrison wants to coach when his playing days are over, who better to relate to players than someone who has experienced what he has in his life and persevered. As an announcer, his colorful and engaging personality would be an asset. It is not as if he would be sitting there in basketball attire with his tats readily seen.
 
We are going to the tournament regardless but please play a good game against the Friars and go into the NCAA tournament with some momentum.

Harrison himself was quoted this year as saying he won't get any more tattoos because there's no room for new ones to be hidden under a collared shirt and he may need to get a real job someday.

Angel Delgado Rookie of the Year
Jay Wright Coach
 
Actually feel bad for Archidiacono. I am sure he is embarrassed. The kid obviously knows he is not even one of the top five players in the league. Heck, he knows he is not the best player on his team.

Astonishingly poor job by the coaches this year.

Arci, while a good player, is not even the player of the year on his own team. I would choose two others ahead of him as more important/players of the year:

Arci: 31 minutes a game; 10.7 pts, 1.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals, 40% FG%, 37% 3 pt%
Hilliard: 29 minutes a game; 14 pts, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 44% FG% 37% 3 pt%
Ochefu: 24 minutes a game; 9 pts, 8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals, 65% FG%

D'Lo: 35 minutes; 18 pts, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals, 42% FG%, 38% 3 pt%
Dom: 35 minutes; 14 pts, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.0 steals, 53% FG%, 9% 3pt% (not to mention the 2.5 blocks per game)

How do those numbers stack up against DLo & Dom?

In my opinion, Dom's numbers dwarf all three. Look them up. I posted a comparison with just Arch a few pages ago (Pg. 4 of this thread)
