I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I think we're gonna do swimmingly, tied for 1st at worst. And at best.
Don't get the Providence love. They return three solid proven players, but they lost 5 Seniors. They'll be relying heavily on Horchler, who is unproven at this level, and Bynum who is smaller than Markus and doesn't have nearly the shooting that Markus had. Then their bench consists of two players that combined for 11 games last year before season ending injuries, a player that averaged 2 ppg, and 2 Freshman ranked in the 2 and 3 hundreds. Considering they were in the 7-10 range before losing Diallo, Pipkins, Young, White and Holt, I just don't see them with a top 4 finish.
It is called coaching.
Nah. It's more personal. The media that covers the Big East loves Big Ed and they should. Good guy and dynamite personality.He's a .500 coach in conference. .500 coach in post-season. Thoroughly average all around except for those magical 72 hours at MSG in March 2014. Along with being relatable that's all it takes to get the benefit of the doubt.
Also think people like that his teams play more of an old school gritty defense first brand of ball that the conference is famous for, rather than the 5 out 3-fest that the game is heading towards. The thing is though, that you really need big athletic guards in order for that style to be effective. If you're swapping 6'-7" Alpha Diallo and 6'-3" Maliek White for 5'-10" Jared Bynum, that style of ball won't be as effective.

I think Cooley teams have generally performed better than expected. That certainly was the case last year.
In conference sure but they were abysmal in noncon
He forgot Torrence.I like Marquette to surprise this year. Some guys on the bench will shine at times.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
So does Michigan State some years. You want a team that finishes strong.
You also want a team, especially a very experienced team that returns almost everything from prior season, to not suck at the beginning of the season. I don’t understand why he gets a pass for that.
