Title: Jesuit colleges/universities in NCAA
Post by: Warrior of Law on March 17, 2016, 08:30:09 AM
Need someone to cheer for.  This year's Jesuit entries:

Team (seed)
Holy Cross (16)
Gonzaga (11)
St. Joseph's (8)
Xavier (2)

This isn't a terrible field considering the Jesuit schools in higher-profile situations (MU, Georgetown, BC, SLU) struggled this year.

Less concerned about Jesuit schools and more focused on Big East teams doing well.

Yep, would be nice to get a Big East team in the final four before one of the ones that defected to the ACC. Ironic that the only old Big East team that has made the final four so far is in the AAC.

Creighton in NIT.
Fordham and Fairfield in CIT.

I believe that is all of them.

Safe to say I won't be cheering for Gonzaga against a Big East team ;D

Interesting that Oregon could take out two of them this weekend.

I'd call Creighton a much higher situation than SLU... also Georgetown... i think they are Jesuit too...

I'm not so sure about BC as a basketball destination anymore.
They really stink.

Yeah, saying BC struggled is not appropriate - struggling indicates some sign of life.

Good point re BC.  The point was success relative to their conference affiliation and/or investment in athletics particularly basketball.
