I think Big East fans think it’s pathetic that a particular midwest-based major conference gets never ending bids and media darling treatment to have a grand total of Zero (0) National Championships in well over 2 decades.
@kreyme8
I think Big Ten fans find it extremely pathetic how Big East fans discard “rivalries” and find joy in the success of programs they’re directly competing with, to be completely honest. Nobody thinks any better of DePaul because of this UConn win.

Providence destroying Georgetown tomorrow (and in every game for eternity) would be truly right and just.
Best outcome is an insanely loud, intense atmosphere that never boils over. Don’t allow that program or coach to claim the moral high ground.

UConn and Villanova now combine for 8 of the 38 Championships in the 64+ era - greater than 20%, which is insane. Even more insane is combining for 4 of the last 9.
The two games a year should be prime TV real estate, no different than Duke UNC.

If Justin Moore’s achilles didn’t tear at the very end of the 2022 Elite Eight, Villanova would’ve won the National Championship and would be a 2023 Final Four favorite.
In addition, if the NCAA never suspended Omari Spellman for BS reasons, Villanova would’ve won three in a row

Important to remember that Requiem for the Big East was a hit job by ESPN (featuring unwitting participants), to try & say that the Big East Conference, which THEY ATTEMPTED TO KILL, was dead.
It was and always will be disgusting, disgraceful and disingenuous.
Never forget it.
Watching Requiem For The Big East and it really is just devastating what college football money did to great college basketball traditions. The very worst of late capitalism excess

Regardless of how his career progresses, I will always have a positive view of Mark Armstrong.
He didn’t waiver. He reaffirmed his commitment within days at a time when it would be understandable for him to go elsewhere.

Between the choices of:

The Big East trading Xavier for Cincinatti 10 years ago was arguably the best thing to happen in conference realignment.
Xavier almost always has a better team and the fanbase isn’t even close. An insane trade up.
Cincinatti is an embarrassment in every way.

Maddy went for 31+ in all 3 NCAA games. 31 & 13 today.
Maddy finishes the season w/ 1,081pts 28 shy of Plum’s record 1,109 (one game?). Averaged over 29 and 9 with a slash of 52/37/85.
If this is it for her, that’s also 2,896 career points.

Coming back to this again.
These guys have 4 Quad 1 wins (incl Q1A) since Hopkins went down. I don’t care if there was a metrics slide, this team won multiple games vs tournament competition since he went down. If the committee leaves them out based on injury it’s criminal.
Genuinely don’t understand how you watch this Providence squad and look at their resume and come to any conclusion other than they are an NCAA Tournament team
