you’d hope the revenue sharing helps the big east but I’m pessimistic about programs’ outlooks.

I expect UConn, us and Creighton to be very good next year.

Marquette will take a a few steps down if Shaka is stubborn about the portal.

X without Miller could be a big step back. Nova is TBD but losing Neptune is a net positive.

Georgetown has been a big disappointment and it’s time for Cooley to win there.

Providence, Butler, Seton Hall all don’t have great resources and may be stuck in the lower half of the leagues.

Hopefully DePaul can grow from this year and get to .500 in conference play.

While the mega conferences make it harder to schedule OOC games in the middle of the season, I am sure SJU will have a few doors open annually since they are looked at as a legitimate top 25 program.

Not to mention Garden attendance at an all time high, and having very good TV ratings also helps.

I’m only bullish about us, Creighton and UConn. We should be completely fine

Yes sir. Gonzaga was able to do it in a conference they dominated forever and a day. So can we.

Hurley can coach, but his “street punk “ stuff so dumb at this point of his life. He’ll never be confused with Greg McDermott.

It is completely unbecoming for a coach as good as he is.

He needs to change. It's embarrassing

Duke has the best roster top to bottom.

with Flagg playing in another dimension nightly, they may do what UCONN did last year, cruise through the competition.

I’m starting to get the feeling that he’s a little like Bobby Valentine/Rex Ryan - a superior coach who has a shelf life because of his antics.

Hearing Ian Eagle and Grant Hill act “surprised” that a pro Duke crowd has taken over Raleigh is hilarious. Ok it’s NC State territory but that 30 minute ride must be a bitch!

He’s heading towards burnout

I agree. I have said that Hurley may be in his early 50’s, but will not make it past 60.

His antics are tolerated as long as he keeps winning. But a few more first weekend tournament exits coupled with his prerequisite embarrassing behavior will not end well.

James Felton doesn’t count as he did actually play some games for us before Fran F dismissed him from the team.

If Tyrese Proctor shoots like this how in the hell do you defend Duke?

If proctor plays like this, no one is coming within 10 of Duke.

You think Bama could give them a scare?

Nice to see Kentucky a 3 seed get screwed. Milwaukee Wisconsin is about as close to the #6 seed campus of Illinois as one could hope. The Committee NOT giving a lower seed home court advantages should be a priority. This isn’t as hard as they want you to believe.

I mean almost every year they get Duke in North Carolina so they can do it.

No idea if Deivon still would have come but a backcourt of Smith and Clayton would have been a true Pitino team. What could’ve been.

Yukon could have won this game but Clayton made the difference.

The Guard combo that Pitino wanted last year was Clayton jr and Daniss Jenkins .

We got 1/2 a loaf but , would have had Walter this year if the $$$ was there .
