So this can be classified as a mega failure for Rutgers. I looked up on tankathon and they are ranked #2 and #3. Holy cow.

Had the following thought the other night watching the game. Think about how much the Big East refs hated Mullin. I'm not defending how he acted on the sidelines, or his coaching, but by his final year he was getting so many technicals that you had to include it in your pregame analysis as a given.
When you see how much coach behavior they generally tolerate, he was clearly being singled out.
And again - not looking to start a discussion about his overall coaching ability.
Why not? He was set to coach for us when Father Harrington nixed it.
Mrs. IDRAFT remarked on how the guy never ever looks happy as well. Shortly after one of the scowl shots FOX also showed Calhoun, who was laughing with friends, and she pointed out how at least one of these guys knows how to relax and enjoy themselves in retirement.
To your point, I watched Yukon/Marq and Hurley went ballistic. The Announcers went on to praise the officials for “restraint” on not giving him a T. So because he’s been a raging lunatic he gets more rope? Just Danny being Danny so it’s ok was an interesting thing to credit a Ref for. I mean he was literally screaming and jumping up and down.
But he did not. So I do not have to concern myself over any moral hypocrisy.
Besides, I think Calipari wanted this job after UMass, much more than SJU did.

We just need to win out. We’d have a 6-3 quad 1 record. That would put us firmly in the running for number 1.
As I was saying lol...Auburn still at No. 1.
this week looks fun in terms of our ranking implications... For those- "let's just focus on our games" people... u can stop reading here lol
Today: Baylor @ #6 Houston... Baylor for more than 1 reason...
Tues: Georgia @ #8 A&M ... lesgo Dawgs / #2 Bama @Texas / UConn @ Creighton

Duke use to do this often under Coach K.
The teams right in front of us have just as interesting of a schedule as we do.
Houston: Baylor, @Arizona
Purdue: @Michigan, Wisconsin
Texas A&M: Georgia, Arkansas
Someone's gonna slip. Better not be us.

Not under Pitino, not happening so don't worry.
Curious what the Georgia line gonna be. Could be a nice money line to jump on.
As an example St Johns played Duke between last week in Jan and first week in Mar 14 times between 1999 and 2019. 3 other times in December during that time period. Probably a couple times during ACC/BE challenge precluding another matchup in first quarter. Overall 17 times in 21 seasons.
True, but I also thought there were a number of other so-called bracket busting games that would be scheduled as the season went on.
That would be something to look forward to to gauge how a team is doing outside of its conference games. Maybe CRP can work on a series with Kentucky now that his buddy Pope is there, or even playing Rutgers or Syracuse each year in February, would be nice moving forward.
