I guess this means the days of the nbe scheduling Q4 pansies in OOC are over. If not, they will be here in the same place next year. St John’s, Villanova, Butler, UConn, Marquette, Creighton, Seton Hall, PC, all had Top 66 OOC schedules. Not a crazy amount of cupcakes. DePaul and GT really screwed ...

P5 teams have more money to offer than we do, in most cases anyway. Those 2 are leaving not only for more money, but to join a program who is more likely to make the tournament. That's what we and similar programs are up against. You have absolutely zero idea if two Belmont transfers are leaving fo...

Non conference was an absolute joke.

the injury to hopkins hurt pc ---they probably would have had a much better chance for the tournament they did beat two low seeds in marquette and wisconsin imo the only questionable team left out ----indiana state no need for dickie v to rant this year With Hopkins PC is probably a Top 5 seed.

Disagree. The committee loves these little "we had no idea when we created this potential matchup there would be storylines to it" matchups Like I said. Like you said 4 days ago Uconn would be a 2 seed? They are the number 1 seed in the tournament. What dude? I never ever said UConn would...

Do you call all conferences “new?”

New a10? New ACC? New sec? New big 12?

Think it’s time to drop that, doesn’t make any sense anymore. Every conference is new.

NEVER want to hear people here say the NCAA is a cartel and rigs the NET for P5. SIX Mountain West teams, including two in last four in over multiple P5 teams in first four out. THREE Big East teams, when many thought St John’s and Seton Hall would get in. No more bitching about the NET. Can’t anymo...

Then dump him. It's decided. No way Archie dumps him. If he wants to come back, I would shocked if Archie didn't want him. He's a good A10 player, and every team in the country needs scoring. Is he an all-time great? No. All-time greats are very hard to find... Plenty of good Rhody players weren't ...

Stevey I’ve had multiple PC fans that I’m friendly with (imagine that and a couple are actual PC alumni) admit to me they’re terrified of URI hoops. Primarily because of our great on campus arena and much more attractive campus. They’re mystified (and happy) that our program hasn’t been able to mai...

House reminds sometimes of Terrell. But he needs a point guard and a 2 guard to him great.

Tragic ending to Brown as they miss 3 of 4 free throws in the closing seconds as they fall to Yale 62-61. Brown led by 6 with 27 seconds left but clutch threes by Yale took the game. Had they won, they would likely have been the only RI team. Now looks like the state will be shut out. Only UConn an...

I’m confused about why PC fans are coming to our message board today.

I wonder how much the committee will look at the current PC team compared to overall resume. The team as constructed isn’t even CLOSE to a tourney team. Under .500 overall. 10-11.

Purdue will not make the FF imo. My prediction for the natty is either UConn or Houston. Everybody else is too inconsistent. Purdue hasn’t won a tourney game since ‘97 in Memphis, have they?

Can’t see at all Princeton getting an at large. I don't disagree, the do have an NET #48. Problem is they will probably take an NIT bid away from someone, maybe an A10 team.

The NET rankings are used to determine the breakdown of quad games. The final NET rank for a particular team is however mainly only used to EXCLUDE non power conference teams. Power conference teams with bad/high NET rankings regularly get selected every year. That rarely happens with teams outside...

Is there a determined formula yet?

I’d say in order of importance:

1. Both program and NIL

3. Only program

Do you really think we’re following that rule? We definitely are not along with every other collective. They just have to put that on the website to save face. We do not need to "save face". The court rulings are in the books. Are they going for it or not? Quit sending mixed signals if yo...

I mean we definitely are following that rule. Stone or our big donors aren't out there recruiting.
