No we are not. We absolutely suck. But we're still not pussies who ducked their rival. That would be way worse. Who cares at this point get over it. Both teams suck anyway. So, what's it feel like when your team ducks another team that sucks? I said at the time it was a weak thing to do . Now I rea...

The big East sucking and PC sucking within it while being too big of pussies to play us has been a bright spot Agreed the Big East and PC suck this year but Uri and the A10 are not exactly settling the world on fire either. Saint louis lost to LaSalle also. No we are not. We absolutely suck. But we...

Cooley is in no trouble, probably should be though. Although if you look at their last two coaches he is still a big improvement.

Talking about a crazy year Rutgers was ranked #11 just about 2 weeks ago and they considered Pikiell the savior of the program. Tonight they just lost their 5th straight game at Penn State (1st conference win) and the fans are calling for his head and saying he is not the answer. They even started ...

PC’s one significant win so far this year is against Davidson (by 1 point) who is predicted to finish 7th in the A10. I would say Davidson is not good. Same Davidson that lost at the buzzer to Texas. I agree I think Davidson is better then 7th in A10 and the Davidson team that competed until the bu...

SH is not good, with or without their PG. At best, they are 6th place in the BE. Significantly better than BC though.

I am sure he is very worried about that.

Also as a PC fan I wouldnt speak so soon to say seton hall is not any good. Wait until you play them and lose. Then that would mean you really suck. But I'm sure PC fans will find a way to spin their words again. That is one PC fan saying that. I believe Seton Hall will be a very good win for you a...

It's not about rights, it's about class and respect. BTW, on any subject you care to consider, there are no rights without responsibilities. So you are saying it is his responsibility to play Uri ?

Sorry woodenickel you make a point that makes no sense - comparing a deliberate act by Cooley to a random event is irrational. We are in the midst of a pandemic when schools are scheduling opponents because of their proximity; schools that many have never played before. So it is especially egregiou...

Ace I’ll try to dig it up later but I remember an interview with Jay Wright (or a cbs person quoting him last winter) saying he loves the big 5 games and those rivalry games help prepare them for conference play. The Villanova games against St Joe's and Temple were both postponed. It's a screwed up...

woodennickel1

Everyone, even Cooley, must know the championship of the Big East goes through Philadelphia. And that guy plays Temple and St. Joe’s and La Salle and Penn each season (not this one) and doesn’t love it but also doesn’t bitch about it. I don’t really have a dog in this fight and there are enough obn...

woodennickel1

Nickel how do you defend Cooley being afraid to play URI, seriously what kind of coach says he needs an easier game on his schedule. It does not instill confidence in your team to back out of a game because you are afraid you might lose. I would thank that would upset Friar nation. I would think th...

The Big East has had some shitty teams too......like PC. So your going to compare PC to the likes of George Washington, Fordham and LaSalle.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if the A10 is so bad in the Big East's eyes, then why do they keep needing to steal teams from the A10 to survive? You could make one heck of a conference out of the teams that the BE stole from the A10: Villanova Pittsburgh Temple Rutgers West Virginia Xa...

Don’t care if we never play Ed Cooley’s PC team again I agree. Move on. Play other Big East teams, beat them, and forget PC. The amount of nonsense from PC and their fans thinking the Big East is the Big East of old is delusional. They are lucky they have Villanova and Butler (who I'm sure they sai...

woodennickel1

I laugh at the people that try to argue that the PC basketball program is on some stratasphere high above that of URI. If that were actually the case, why is that the Friars don't have more NCAA Tournament wins than Rhody since it joined the original Big East back in 1979? If the PC program was tru...

It’s the tip of the iceberg The P5 Football and to a lesser extent P5 Basketball will rule 100% As far as football goes yes in fact I think they already rule pretty much because of the size of the roster.

woodennickel1

There is a huge difference between Kraft and Pitino. Howard Porter had signed with an agent unbeknown to Kraft or Villanova. So they had played in ineligible player . Hence the DQ. Pitino claimed not to know about the prostitution, bribes , etc. Utter BS. There were a litany of violations so the NC...

I don't like the new proposal......even if we need it this year.... The long term affect will lead to non P5 teams losing better players to other conferences...becoming feeder programs to the big guys.... We can assume that tampering will go on behind the scenes with no smoking guns that implicate ...

Remember, they're saying that Cooley said no to the twins (not the other way around), so they're going to call us desperate. While I know there are some very obvious exceptions (RJ, woodennickel), the PC fandom as a whole are uneducated boobs who don't know that college basketball exists outside of...

Very solid player would definitely be a nice addition. Think he was the starting point guard till this year when they got Charlie Moore the Kansas transfer. Probably the reason for the transfer.

woodennickel1

Would love to have DePaul in the A10. Better than the bottom 1/3 for sure. The Big East Marketing Machine wants you to believe their Conference is far and above all other conferences. And it works, even on the KB Board Facts: DePaul is 15-16 and 3-15 in Big East In statistics that can be accurately...

woodennickel1

De Paul is a really bad team and a bad program. They have talent, had a great out of conference record, I think they were even ranked for a bit. The Big East schedule chewed them up. They suck. 3-0 against the Big 10 non conference. Probably have more quad 1 wins then the bottom five teams in the a...

Incredibly exciting college game.

Agree totally with Ramstock and Obidiah that the Big East is very overrated . I think the NET is even more flawed than the RPI . The Big East is a great example .

Would seem to be a good fit for URI should have a lot of pt available in the frontcourt next year with Langevine gone.

And before RJ and other staunch defenders of the NCAA say it, there is no reason for P5 and BE Teams to play Mid Majors in true Road Games - so why should they? Absolutely true. There is no reason, in fact it makes perfect sense for P5 and BE to not venture in to Dayton, Gonzaga, San Diego State, E...

Rutgers has one road win at Nebraska.

Don't forget, Gavitt formed the Big East 2 or 3 years after Sly ended up in Kingston. The hated he already had for URI multiplied times 1000. There is no way he Invited URI to play in his conference.

I don’t think that would have made URI a guaranteed BE member.
