Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23

The NIT results tonight are not helping all the Big East sycophants that have been crying about not getting more NCAA bids. All three BE teams that played today lost, even with the advantage of having two of the games on their home courts.

LOL. Watching this play in game. Seth Towns is 26 years old and in his 8th year of college. Pretty ridiculous, but also kinda the dream. The days of 18-22 year old amateur student athletes are over. we now have professional adult mercenaries that are on one year job assignments with schools.

The Big East had three very good teams - UConn, Marquette, and Creighton and two extremely bad teams - Georgetown and Depaul. There was a lot of parity between these two groups.

While PC (NET #57) has some significant wins against Quad 1 teams, this is a bit offset by more than half their total wins (11) coming in quad four games. 1/4 (five) of PC's wins came versus BE cellar dwellers Georgetown (205) and DePaul (#320).
