Around the Big East 25-26

Good move



Wow that's a huge get for Georgetown, surprised they were able to given it's been a decade since their last At-Large bid while UNC has made the NCAAT Finals 3 times in that period. Guessing for UNC that Georgetown's academics played a role, along with it being game(s) they should win.

Georgetown is still Georgetown IMO, even though it is a diminished version of its former self. I feel the same about them as I did us pre-Pitino. The name, tradition, location, brand, etc still means something. And like him, hate him, or in between (I'm in the "dislike" category), Cooley being at the helm helps stuff like this because of his personality and some of the media-love he gets.
 
ManyBE teams this year have really upped the ante on OOC schedules.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (WILX) - Michigan men’s basketball is finalizing a home-and-home series vs. Villanova beginning this season in Ann Arbor, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.

The series would see Michigan host Villanova this upcoming season, with a return game at Villanova in the 2026-27 season.

The interest isn’t there, though. Our fans were never far away even though we struggled for 25 years. They averaged 5,600 fans with a new coach and they haven’t been bad for that long.

We actually have some of the most resilient fans around even though we lost an entire generation of fans.
