Honestly we are usually so bad that when we are mediocre we got our hopes up.

Things I’m pissed about:
1. Virginia
2. FAU as an 8 seed
3. Texas AM as a 9 seed
4. Izzo gets a 9 seed
5. Indiana State ahead of us
6. Pittsburgh ahead of us

7. KICK DEPAUL OUT

 

[Eric]

Honestly. Big east got screwed more than we did.

 

[Moose]

A school facing point shaving accusations and their AD is on the committee. Geez

 

[L J S A]

Izzo getting in really should not shock anyone. Lots of people love that guy, even when his team may not warrant love.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Next year, just dont have an awful stretch like we did this year and we are in.

We are all disappointed we didnt get in, but we really have no one to blame but ourselves.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Lesson learned….

1.Big East has little cred vs. football conferences.

2. Winning later in season means nothing…. Ask 7th seed Dayton

3. Popular coaches don’t get preferential treatment

4. Even if we beat the Hall twice it wouldn’t mean anything.

5. NET means nothing.

6. The dark cloud is still up there.

 

[espken]

So much for Pitino’s cred re. the selection process.

I was wrong about the process this year. But look out 2024-25.

 

[passitback]

Bottom line: Big East got fucked.

~ Doesn't matter how good the conference is. Remember that.

Right except 3 and 4.

Only for this year.

Committee members change every year, leading to a different way of thinking. It's really all a guessing game.

 

[Redmen88]

For those Wall Street movie fans.... "You sure went down the tubes on that ugly bitch". Seems fitting.

With the right draw this was a sweet 16 team

 

[ZanMan]

Clearly a message sent to the non-football schools.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Anyone named bubba has no business being on anything

 

[paultzman]

A coach who gets it & asks right questions

 

[CBA69]

College sports is rigged toward certain conferences. Period.

College sports are rigged period.

I think the better lesson is

1- Dont have a terrible stretch during conference play.

So Big East had tourney winner last year plus Creighton as an elite 8 team and if I recall correctly had best rating in this year's OOC schedule and we get 3 teams in? But UVA gets in because of recent success? No words...
