Sure. Playing the #15 team in the country w/o your leader and best player. Piece of cake.

Why do you deal exclusively in extremes?😂 There is a ton of room between the game being a piece of cake and needing a masterclass in coaching to win. You post like Ricky Bobby’s dad.

They are playing at home and they are now 3 point favorites with Karaban’s absence being favored in.

If UConn shoots well from the outside, they should win. IMG_1038.gif

How do they compare to UCONN fans? I haven't been to a game where we played PC since the Marvin Barnes/Ernie D days and those were in Alumni Hall. Then again I haven't been to a live UCONN game since the RIP Hamilton days and that was at the RAC.
I expect I'll get the chance to see for myself as I expect to make it up for this year's PC game on February 1.

Agreed, it's really not funny, and the fact that I have tons of PC fans in my mentions admonishing me for saying it was a horrible thing for the PC fan base to do is insane. PC won the game, that was their statement, then they chant such garbage...

Fans can talk trash and be funny and be crude...but to be vile and hateful, that's crossing every line.

At some point in life I had posted my thumbnail sketch of each BE fan base. Don't remember when but the following ought to be close:

Nova: Children of and/or aspiring FiDi folks. Squeaky clean, vest-wearing, nose-in-the air sorts of folks.

Providence: Angry drunken Southies. What could be better than a beer-fueled brawl - unless you lose the pack of cigarettes rolled up in your shirt sleeve in the process.

Marquette: Midwest Nova fans

Georgetown: Smarter Nova fans

Creighton: Marquette fans if they were Mormons. OK they aren't Mormons, but they may as well be.

Xavier: Providence fans transplanted to flyover country

Seton Hall: Providence fans in New Jersey

Butler: I have nothing bad to say about them - they care about basketball in Indiana

SJU: Aging Queens Italians and Irish who are stuck in 1985. And their offspring, who think wishing hard enough for what never was will make it so.

DePaul: DePaul fans are in the same category as unicorns, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus. When I see one, I will believe they exist.

UConn: Drunken hillbillies out of Deliverance who think they are PERSONALLY responsible for the glory of UConn basketball, they arrive fully tanked up by bus and train at MSG. Hated by all other BE fans as the basketball equivalent of a drunken hobo who hit the lottery and is now a rich drunken hobo who spends all day telling people how rich he is.

Thanks. I did remember you posting something like this but was never going to be able to find it.

yukon (Uconn) is wicked dead on, having spent 20+ dreadful, but quite profitable years there. Nova, PC and Georgetown, the 3 other schools I'm
most familiar with, again right on the money.

Me either. But the short answer to your question is that PC is a relatively small, very angry fan base with a massive inferiority complex that is full of beer muscles and can be counted on to be classless and belligerent.

By contrast UConn is a very large fan base that is about equally as tanked up as the PC crew, but instead of being angry, belligerent and feeling inferior they are arrogant a-holes who take personal credit for UConn success because they literally have nothing else in life to be proud of. And they love to come by the thousands just to call MSG "Storrs South" which is like calling San Francisco "Anchorage South" but it makes them happy, those jerks.

And none of them remember UConn pre-Calhoun, either.
