Men's Postseason Tournament Talk 2021-22

[Jdrums#3]

How about St. Peter’s? What do you think of their chances tonight versus Purdue?

[DeanDome88]

I might prefer for PC to win if they were playing Duke. Otherwise, I'd be rooting against them.

[SGreenwell]

How about St. Peter’s? What do you think of their chances tonight versus Purdue?

Purdue is #1 in KenPom's offensive rankings right now, and St. Peter's is all about defense. It'll be an interesting clash of styles. At this point of the tournament, every team is good enough to win if healthy. I'd have Purdue as a heavy favorite, but I still think there's like a 25 percent chance St. Peter's wins anyway.

Go Friars. Also on the "win every game except the one against Rhody" bandwagon. It's really the only rational take on it. But, I get that sports can tend to be intentionally irrational... that's fine, too.

"Go Yankees" said no red sox fan ever...

PC winning is a 0% benefit for URI.

[Rhody74]

Cooley’s trying really hard to sell this “nobody believed in us, we are shocking the world” vibe, but it sounds silly when Saint Peter’s literally exists.

It’s hard seeing a 4-seed as a Cinderella.

That's a silly comparison and you know it.
And your second statement is just false. (When Rhody is in the hunt, there's an entire thread dedicated to that concept.)

Tough day?

[RhodyKyle]

It's all a coaching thing to fire up the players using the disrespect angle. Belichick is a mastermind with that stuff. And did you hear that maniac Musselman after their game last night? He said he posted in their locker room all of the media people who said Arkansas had no shot.

[RhowdyRam02]

PC fans I know are unconscionable ball breakers.

I'm sorry, the judges were looking for unrepentant trashbags

[reef]

I’m pulling hard for the Kansas Jayhawks but that said I really respect PCs run so basically I’m very jealous and want it to end at Sweet 16

[reef]

How about St. Peter’s? What do you think of their chances tonight versus Purdue?

I’d be beyond shocked if they beat Purdue but I’m sure rooting for St Peters

You're going to have to explain how that's the only rational take

The complete change of heart on this board about PC is wild.

Why do we have a Games of Interest thread that tracks how our OOC opponents do?

Because it matters for our chances to get into the tournament. Once selection sunday has passed there is zero rational reason to root for PC. It no longer affects our season and has zero bearing on the next season.

May have something to do with playing a team with five level one violations too. LSU AND ARIZONA are out hopeful the third bunch of cheaters goes down tonight also.
.Just for the record I was rooting for Uri when they took down cry baby Roy and his 1 seeded frauds.

Tough day?

How is it silly exactly? The notion that rivals dont root for each other?

PC winning IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT has 0 benefit for URI. That thread tracks opponents for the sake of keeping tabs on our at large chances.

Ok, how about some not "silly" examples since you want to be obtuse.

Any Carolina fans rooting for Duke or vice versa?
Any OSU fans root for Michigan in the tournament?
Any Auburn fans root for Alabama?

[reef]

Just let people root for who they want to root for there is zero correct answer and doesn’t make them more or less of a URI fan

[Blue Man]

I just look at it as we’re not equal. They’re a better program, only a fool would say otherwise.

Sox/Yanks is completely different.

Like I said, I’m happy for my family and the friends I have who actually went to Pc and care as much as I do year I’m year out.

Obviously my experience is unique.

I have no problem with people who hate PC too. They’re our rival. I’ll get on the hate train when we’re both competing at a high level.

When you’re at different levels it’s just kinda pathetic I think to try and take shots. To each their own.

[theblueram]

Did anyone think that fans of URI on this board never went to URI? Like they are just fans of college basketball? And have no game in the pc-URI rivalry?

K, you win. All non-applicable examples but you win. Congrats. F pC....

[steviep123]

I think I’m pretty much the only one on this board who literally couldn’t care less who wins between pc & Kansas. The only game I care is St. Peter’s. Other than that just want good games.

The St Pete's game is awesome!!!!!

[theblueram]

St Pete's has game. Man, they just are a complete locked in team.

[ram1980]

My wife wanted to watch PC game.. we have fubo. No turner networks . Scrambled to sign up for Hulu 7 day trial.

She wanted to watch the mental hospital? Do you need a lawyer?

[Ramulous]

Frank Caruso once stated “If pc was playing the Russians I would root for the Russians!” Timely now too.

[reef]

Fight Peacocks fight

[theblueram]

St Pete's is one of the best teams I've watched this year.

[ram1980]

Nope.. she just wanted to watch it.. rooting for Kansas. We have been rooting for uri hoops together since 1978 when we met as across the hall roommates at good ol Barlow hall.....

[Rhody74]

Peacocks guards can sure defend. Wow!

[ace]

Holy hell this Saint Peter’s group is tough! Just absolutely fearless.

Seton Hall might be getting nervous.

[PeteRI]

PC down 13 has tied it with 7:17 left

[PeteRI]

67-64 St. Peter's. First 15 seed to make the Elite 8!

[Jersey77]

What a great story for St. Peter's.
Holloway should be National COY.

We will play him next season at SH.

[PeterRamTime]

Wooooowwwww

[Jersey77]

Another great performance in the NCAAT for the B10.
Started with 9 schools, none left.

When will the committee learn, or they just don't care, it's all about the $.

[rhodysurf]

Purdue sucks so bad in the tournament every year

Something about the cartel?

[ElmCityRhody]

Bye bye so long farewell PEE CEE !

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES !

[steviep123]

The big 10 never fails to disappoint.

[PeteRI]

66-61 Kansas. PC gave it all they had. Congrats to Coach Cooley and his players for a successful season.

[Da_Process_Survivor]

Choke on it Friars

[Blue Man]

Oof must be crushing for the friars.

Come all the way back to take the lead and then blow it. Wouldn’t have minded if they won, don’t care that they lost.

Rhody time!
