PC will now have the distinction of being the only RI team to ever lose to Kansas in the NCAA Tournament while URI will continue to be the only RI team to ever beat Kansas in the NCAA Tournament.

Puh-leeze. That mental-hospital possession with about 30 seconds left? Their biggest possession of the season? They looked like they had never played together before. Well-coached team my ass.

I'm not a big PC fan but I do believe that EC is a very very good coach. The BE is overrated and it has been that way for awhile. There is one team left Villanova. I would love to see an A10 vs BE match up. I believe it would bring a lot of excitement to college basketball.

Re: Men's Postseason Tournament Talk 2021-22
I’d love to see an NBE v. A10 matchup too, rjv. Unfortunately, They have the match up with the Big 10 ( not sure how many years are left on that agreement ) and, in my opinion, the NBE won’t do it because they have too much to lose and too little to gain in their chicken ducken mind. Plus, not enough dollars in it for them, I figure. Maybe it will change in the 7-10 years if the A10 continues to build on its very recent momentum of new HC hires.rjv wrote: ↑2 years ago I'm not a big PC fan but I do believe that EC is a very very good coach.

I’m sure there’s more to it - maybe other poster’s can expand on it?
Maybe Gonzaga’s conference (brain fart - is it the WCC? ) is an alternative? An east versus west battle. I’d enjoy it!

Kansas vs Miami for a trip to the Final Four.

The cartel will get its revenge for all nine Big Ten teams being knocked out before the Elite-8. Look for ten or more teams from the league to get bids next season.

Exactly. The outcome of games is the only thing the cartel cannot completely rig. Leaving it up to which teams play better is just too dangerous and scares the hell out of them. The cartel therefore does all it can to rig all other aspects that it can completely control - picking an ever increasing number of cartel conference teams, giving them preferred seeding helping to make their paths easier, and siting the teams in location to their best advantage.

Re: Men's Postseason Tournament Talk 2021-22
The one thing I can continuously take away from PC is that no matter the talent level, they consistently find a way to underachieve with Cooley as the coach. The whole narrative that everyone was doubting them was complete made up nonsense in my opinion. Personally, I didn't doubt PC had some talented guys. I just doubted the coach, not the players. They were a flop in the Big East Tournament. This year is one of the only years I can remember with Cooley as coach where they actually got out of the first round.
Congrats to the players at PC, but boy did the poor coaching show up again in the closing minutes of that game against Kansas, in my opinion.

The BE will never agree to a challenge with the A10 because there would be absolutely no buzz for it to happen outside of fans of A10 schools. As much as some A10 teams improved, we were a 1 bid league if Richmond doesn't get the auto bid. The A10 as a whole would need to get much better before this would even be considered. A10 vs Mountain West is a better series.

Trying to rig and succeeding are two different things.

Re: Men's Postseason Tournament Talk 2021-22
A Big East-A10 challenge would be the same as what? An A10-MAAC challenge? I understand KenPom ratings aren’t perfect but that’s the 4th, 10th, and 16th rated conferences. There are some match-ups of Big East and A10 teams that would be interesting, but the conferences really aren’t equivalent enough to have a challenge make sense for anyone other than A10 fans, especially when the Big East already has those with the Big Ten and Big 12.

They were picked 7th in the Big East preseason. I don’t think Cooley is a great X’s and O’s guy, but losing to the 1 seed in the sweet 16, after winning a conference title, is anything but underachieving.The Dude wrote: ↑2 years ago The one thing I can continuously take away from PC is that no matter the talent level, they consistently find a way to underachieve with Cooley as the coach.

PC didn't underachieve. It's one of those seasons where they pulled out every close game which is hard to do. They caught a big break playing Richmond instead of Iowa in the second round. That's not their fault. If you want to talk about a Big East team that underachieved, look at our old head coach.Blue Man wrote: ↑2 years agoThey were picked 7th in the Big East preseason.

Picked second, finished third. Ended the season ranked, spent most of the season there, weathered some tough injuries. Lost a bad game in the NCAA tournament. Frustrating as hell, sure, but not underachieving on the whole. Xavier underachieved, so did Butler and St. John’s if you’re looking for the right comparisons. Marquette, Providence, and Creighton exceeded expectations.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑2 years agoPC didn't underachieve.

No one expected them to get an NCAAT bid after losing all 5 starters.
They started 2 freshmen, 1 sophomore, and 1 transfer newcomer.
The team has a ton of upside going forward with all their youth.

He had 4 5th year seniors I believe. 2 pretty essential to the team. If this was on a four year build cycle, Cooley doesn't get this far. I don't think he will sniff a second round for a long time.rjv wrote: ↑2 years ago I'm not a big PC fan but I do believe that EC is a very very good coach.

Re: Men's Postseason Tournament Talk 2021-22
Posted this in the wrong place.
My wife asked me why I was watching St. Peters instead of PC as I always talked of being a homer. I told her that PC was not on my list, but I would not disparage their success this year. But the outcome of the two games was exactly what I was hoping for.

Which proves my point -- imagine how many more of the hoi polloi might have been included and won games if the NCAA didn't have to pacify the Cartel.
Exactly. The outcome of games is the only thing the cartel cannot completely rig. Leaving it up to which teams play better is just too dangerous and scares the hell out of them. The cartel therefore does all it can to rig all other aspects that it can completely control - picking an ever increasing number of cartel conference teams, giving them preferred seeding helping to make their paths easier, and siting the teams in location to their best advantage.

And to be fair, a great number of the “undeserving” “cartel” whooped up on the mid majors to remind them why they were selected.Da_Process_Survivor wrote: ↑2 years ago36 at large bids and a grand total of 6 were from outside a P6 conferenceRhody15 wrote: ↑2 years agoRemember when you said the “cartel” rigs everything for the P6?Rhode_Island_Red wrote: ↑2 years ago
Obvious nepotism hire Dan Gavitt has one job -- keep the Cartel from leaving.
25% of the Elite 8 comes from outside the P6 conferences.
But keep pushing your agenda!
It’s not rocket surgery. If you can’t get into a lot of big games - win the ones you get. Or don’t lose to the bad teams.
Houston had a non existent Q1 slate this year. They just avoided bad losses.
Dayton didn’t deserve to be in the field. They lost 3 terrible games.
Just because the margin of error for mid majors is slim, doesn’t mean it’s rigged. Don’t lose to shitty teams, beat one or two good ones. Voila. You’re dancing.
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

Re: Men's Postseason Tournament Talk 2021-22
Dan has been getting trashed big time on the UConn message board ever since they lost their opening game.
Does he deserve it?
Their fans still think they're living in Calhoun land, and expect nothing less than national titles.
Many are saying if they lose 1st round next season, then he has to go. Tough crowd.
They didn't have enough shooters, and struggled in close games. We could relate during most of Dan's years here.
Hurley with his sideline antics, hurts his team in close games. He did it here, and it might be even worse at UConn.
If I was reffing his games, would I give him the benefit of the doubt? Probably not.
I know this is nothing new, but until he tones it down, their struggles are likely to continue.

They also have a couple other gripes that mirror what we had in his time here. No defined offensive play set and gets "outcoached" on X's and O's in game at times.rambone 78 wrote: ↑2 years ago Dan has been getting trashed big time on the UConn message board ever since they lost their opening game.

Overall their expectations are extremely high, you can't really blame them given their 4 titles since 1999 and even more Final 4s and Elite 8s. It's what many of us were afraid of for Dan, lack of fan patience and them saying "so what" to just making the tournament.
