Would love to see some of those baseline passes to our shooters. We don't do anything to set them up at this point. That's a 50% shot from Alleyne or Dingle.

Don’t see it but that’s what makes for horse races……….
Would expect to see us get up to at least the Creighton number (72+%)

Must say. I expected us to be above 75% based on stats from last year.
Oddly, Dingle and Taylor are the ones bringing the average down. They shot 85% and 80% last year. Still pretty small sample sizes.
Article had to be updated as they originally left out Providence.
Yea. Hopefully they go on nice streaks to build it back up.
We will be.
If I am DePaul I would call Billy Donovan's agent and see what it would take to get him to DePaul.
He is already in Chicago. But my guess is it won't be for long with the way the Bulls are almost certainly going to be broken up.
DePaul has money the program has just been in the toilet for so long that it has zero attractiveness right now. But they need to make a splash.
My guess is he says no but they really need a shot in the arm.

DePaul has money but how much because they'd need two or three Repoles to be committed to even get him to answer the phone. He would demand being a top 3-5 paid coach in all of college basketball plus a serious NIL commitment to make sure he can actually compete in today's landscape. I think if he returns to college after this season it'll be at Louisville.
DePaul probably going to end up going the mid major promotion route probably target somebody like DeVries from Drake
DePaul has to do something drastic and the league needs to pressure them with being kicked out.
Drastic as in taking a high-profile coach hostage and make him take the job?

This is quite the myopic and laughable statement.
1) Nobody ever gets kicked out of conferences for underperforming otherwise we would have been booted from the Big East in the middle of the Norm years.
2) DePaul is not in the Big East because they are supposed to be good. They are in the Big East because they reside in the 3rd biggest media market in the country. If they ever do figure it out and become even just decent for a few years, they will provide a ton of value to the league. Rutgers was terrible in both football and basketball but the Big 10 added them anyway because they give the conference exposure to the NYC market. This is EXTREMELY important when negotiating new TV rights deals.
3) Conferences are expanding, not contracting. Whether people want to admit it or not, the Big East is fighting for survival and there's little the league can do about it due to their lack of football. There are a million different directions the college sports landscape can go in the next 5-10 years and it will all be determined by the newly formed football superconferences and the media companies that own their TV rights. Having as many of the top markets covered as possible will be critical and relates back to point 2, you don't boot the only team you have in the Chicago market.

Nobody else in the BE is anticipating a coaching change this upcoming offseason
Didn’t Temple get kicked out of the BE in football?
