If Duke played Alabama, Tennessee, Clemson, or Illinois on Saturday, they're in the Final Four, but they fell victim to the hurdle of playing an in-conference opponent who knew them inside and out (See Elite 8 1987, Georgetown vs. Providence). That's less a knock on Scheyer and more a recognition that conference opponents are tougher. If UConn had an early round rematch with St. John's, it wouldn't be a 30 point win. Doesn’t Duke know NC St inside and out? Why didn’t that knowledge matter as much for Duke as it did for State?

The market is inevitable and we are seeing it today. This thing is tanking and will continue to tank as long as the company is worthless.

Cal does not have a dedicated sports management graduate program. There is a track (or classes) within the business school but I think that’s it.

Big Ten getting embarrassed with Wisconsin and Nebraska. Same with Mountain West and ACC yet NCAA selection committee blocked Seton Hall, St John’s and Providence from the tournament Hasn’t only one ACC team lost?

DePaul hired Chris Holtmann. Is that done? First, he signed, then not, then… They announced a press conference so it’s probably a done deal. But, it’s DePaul so who knows?

I hate Hurley Twelve minutes into the game, Pitino received a technical for arguing a foul call. Hurley immediately received one, too. But that’s when the facts give way to competing stories. At the center of the drama was Tom O’Grady, a longtime friend of Pitino’s sitting courtside by the St. John’s bench. Hurley and O’Grady yelled at each other. Right after the halftime buzzer, Hurley seemed to attempt to have O’Grady ejected, though after disappearing for a bit, O’Grady retook his seat a few minutes into the second. “There was a short guy in a red blazer that was on the court yelling at the refs, and then he started yelling at me, you know, and moving in my direction,” Hurley said, referring to O’Grady in his version of events, with the tiniest of grins. “So I was just kind of pointing out to [the referee] that he was behaving worse than Coach Pitino. I was really just trying to help the officials, you know. They might not have seen it. And then I got a technical for pointing out more increasingly aggressive fans. At courtside you shouldn’t end up on the court.” www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/03/16/st-johns-uconn-big-east-basketball/If DePaul gets a good coach and the rest stay put, the BE is going to be the most entertaining league in college basketball without a doubt. Cooley just needs to do his part to have a team that wins. DePaul hired Chris Holtmann.

Hasn't this been the case with one of the grad-school tests (maybe the GRE?) for like a decade now? The GMAT was like this when I took it 25 yrs ago.

Um, what? The endless parade of wide open dunks would seem to cut against this take. I said mostly. There have been lapses, but defense has improved and switching and covering well. Ish has had a couple boneheaded lapses that let Castle loose in the lane and a missed cover on Karaban. Inside with undersized Cook is going to be tough. Fielder doesn't have the strength nor size (and mostly plays stretch four which is his strength), and Ryan is Ryan. Whatever, I know you like to think of yourself as the great basketball knower that sees things nobody else can but in no universe has this defense been mostly good. It’s an absurd notion.

Loser DeSantis out! GFY! The cowardly POS endorses the insurrectionist. Such a huge POS. Harvard, YLS, Navy JAG - a disgrace to the oath and uniform. Ron DeSantis ends presidential campaign, endorses Trump Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday ended his once-promising presidential campaign, which steadily deflated as he struggled to connect with voters and convince Republicans to swap Donald Trump for a younger, more disciplined champion of his ideas. DeSantis, 45, had seemed to many Republicans like the most viable challenger to Trump after the 2022 midterms, when the governor won reelection by a landslide. But he started to lose ground in polling even before his official campaign launch in May — via a glitchy live chat that neatly embodied the way his grand plans were going awry. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/21/ron-desantis-drops-out/www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-campaign-doomed-puzzle-rcna132688When was his campaign, "once-promising?" Before he started campaigning and people got to see what a dud this guy is. I’m amazed he was able to win FL. I get that this hard core right wing idiocy appeals down there but this guy is such a zero as a human being that I’m really surprised he was able to pull votes the way he was. At some point, you have to be able to connect with people and he just doesn’t have it.

You wanted Georgetown to hire Chris Beard. What’s wrong with Chris Beard? You know what’s wrong with him but you don’t care. And getting into a discussion about not caring about what he did is not something I’m going to do.

The more I think about it, Depaul has to make a hard run at Wade. They'll have cover since Miller & Pitino are in the league plus what he was fired for is now legal... It'll also signal to the fanbase that you're serious about trying to win... Doesn’t matter. What White Privilege Will Wade did at the time was illegal and he knew he was doing something illegal. That illustrates a character flaw which schools should avoid. He should not be rewarded for doing illegal things. You wanted Georgetown to hire Chris Beard.

Trump is not a complicated person. If you listen to him, you’ll hear exactly what he’s worried about. The fact that this cognitive test is coming up again is a clear sign that he’s worried about his deteriorating mind. He’s probably been given some bad news on that front.

promoting darkness rather than light is never ok in America. You are an unabashed Trump supporter. You might want to consider your own words.

About damn time. Stick it to the racist and fascist MAGA GOPers. Biden, in Valley Forge speech, hits Trump hard as threat to democracy BLUE BELL, Pa. — President Biden on Friday delivered his first campaign speech of this election year, attempting to define the 2024 presidential race as a battle for the future of American democracy and portray former president Donald Trump as its chief antagonist. In remarks that cast the future of the country in stark and dire terms — focusing more tightly on his predecessor than perhaps in any other speech in his presidency — Biden framed his campaign in sweeping language. “Today we’re here to answer the most important of questions: Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?” he said. “It’s what the 2024 election is all about.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/05/biden-trump-threat-to-democracy/Defend democracy by keeping your opponent off the ballot… Brilliance And for the record, when Trump is “CONVICTED” of participating in an insurrrection, I might agree with this tactic. A much more qualified legal mind disagrees with this notion. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/donald-trump-constitutionally-prohibited-presidency/675048/

He wasn’t coming here. Not the right fit. Bigger question is why didn’t Seton Hall go after him. In the end be ended up at the best fit for him. A place with all the resources, a recent history of national championships, and a place where you can recruit almost anyone (because academics or past history isn’t really required) You keep saying this, but what do you mean by “not the right fit”? Based on who we hired, I'm guessing his competence and coaching skills were disqualifying.

It matters who you align and associate with. It adds to the enjoyment of going to games when some of your friends attended opposing conference schools, like you see in the Ivies, Big 10, Pac 10, ACC, etc. And, Syracuse has been our biggest rival for over 40 years. So, maybe it doesn’t actually matter at all.

The Big East is a conference of academic misfits. We need the ACC to splinter. I’m sure the quiz bowl team has a problem with their academic peers but, for athletics, and that’s what’s the BE is for, who the F cares?

Poor Elvado. A victim by proxy. I may have gone to a third rate law school but I was taught that when I made an assertion, I supported it with some facts. You never do. Congrats! Elvadoism at its finest. And the answer is because one was a devoted liberal and one was first. More likely because RBG was still on the bench and very involved in the issues of our time and was a very notable public figure til the end while O’Connor had been retired for almost 20 years and not in the public eye at all.

I bet he would have if he had been given a choice. Harley was not a good fit for Georgetown and vice versa. Plus he wouldn’t have wanted input from JT2. He made the right decision in waiting for the UConn job to open up. Hurley and UConn are a great fit. I don’t see how anyone can argue that him going to Georgetown was a better decision for him than him going to UCONN. He was a great fit because he is a great coach and we needed one. And, he seems like the kind of guy who would tell JT to f-off and leave him alone which was another thing we desperately needed.
